A male wampa attacked Luke Skywalker on the Lanteel Glacier on the planet Hoth in 3 ABY, defeating him in one blow by knocking him out and killing his tauntaun. He then unceremoniously dragged the unconscious Luke to his cave.

Behind the scenes[]

The book Inside the Worlds of Star Wars Trilogy establishes that the wampa that attacked Luke when he was riding his tauntaun is not the same wampa in the ice cave. The book labels the events before and during the Battle of Hoth and clearly describes both a male and female wampa; the latter identified as One-Arm, portrayed by ILM employee Howie Weed during filming of The Empire Strikes Back (Special Edition).
