Paar's ichthyodonts were large saurian creatures that lived on Panna Prime.
Biology[]
Native to the watery moon of Panna, Paar's ichthyodonts were large non-sentient aquatic saurian creatures. The creatures had a tapered, finned body, a long neck, and a wedge-shaped head.[1]
History[]
In 0 ABY, the notorious bounty hunter named Boba Fett used an ichthyodont to navigate the Mud Moon to find Luke Skywalker and gain his trust so Skywalker would bring him to the new Rebel Alliance's base on Darth Vader's orders.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
This creature was first named on the "Holiday Special Boba Fett Character Key" from Acme Archives.
Living in the same ecosystem as the ichthyodont and Panna dragon was a smaller and paler beast that shared a strong resemblance to the ichthyodont. Its anatomy didn't seem vastly different, it may have simply been a younger member of the same species, or a different gender than the creature ridden by Boba Fett.
"Ichthyodont" means "fish-tooth" in Ancient Greek.
