Rancor

Rancors were large semi-sentient reptilian carnivores native to the planet Dathomir. Standing around five meters tall, with their long arms, immense jaws, and armored hides that could withstand blaster fire, they were formidable predators. A subspecies known as the jungle rancor populated the planets Felucia and Teth.

The proper term of venery for rancors in Galactic Basic was a crash of rancors.

A rancor, named Pateesa, was kept as a pet by Jabba the Hutt in a pit below his palace court, to which he fed any who displeased him. The beast was killed by the Human Luke Skywalker, after which its human handler could be seen mourning its death.
