Bantha fodder

Legends Canon version → Linked from 48 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Bantha fodder was a type of food eaten by banthas. The phrase "bantha fodder" was also used as an offensive term, as the substance smelled extremely foul. Alternatively, "poodoo"—"fodder" in Huttese—was used for the same purpose.

"Bantha fodder" was also used as a synonym for nonsense, e.g. "That's the biggest through of bantha fodder I've ever heard anyone spit up in my life." The term was also deal-slang for when a promised deal did not come through. "Bantha poodoo" could also be used as an exclamation, e.g. "Great gobs of bantha poodoo!"

During the Jedi Civil War, Revan went to Tatooine to retrieve one of the Star Maps leading to the Star Forge. He used bantha fodder acquired from the Tusken Raiders' enclave on Anchorhead to bait banthas toward a krayt dragon to lure it out. The krayt dragon then stepped into a large amount of land mines and was killed. Revan then went into its cave and took the Star Map.

Teggi fungal root was one of the main ingredients of bantha fodder.
