David: Rancor Spotting #13

The Wildlife of Star Wars: A Field Guide by Terryl Whitlatch and Bob Carrau, pages 42-43 and 123

What better place to find information about rancors could there be than in a field guide to Star Wars wildlife? This is a fun book to go through, and the illustrations are excellent. With particular regard to rancors, the book gives great illustrations as can be seen below. We also learn that rancors are typically seen on Dathomir serving the witches. They have survived on Tatooine as exotic transplants. The females often give birth to twins that ride on the mother’s back for the first three years of their lives. Take a look at the drawings.

Have this book on my shelf. Lots of fun to see some "love" for the Star Wars creature universe!

P.S. I added you guys to my site, www.galacticbinder.com - the largest Star Wars directory on the web. Contact me there when you check out your listing!

Thanks for the comment. We are having a great time spotting rancor references as we read the books in the Expanded Universe. I only wish I had thought to start doing it when we read the first book.

I will take a look at galacticbinder.
