Reptile

Reptiles (adjectival form reptilian) were a class of lifeforms exemplified by the dewbacks, the Rodians, the dalgos, the Trandoshans, and the entity known as Orphne. The planet of Dagobah was home to a number of quite common reptilian creatures. One particular category of reptiles were the lizards, examples of which included the tauntauns, the mysterious Zillo Beast, the brezaks, and the varactyl. Some species, such as Hutts, were considered reptiloid.

Non-sentient reptiles were used for various purposes by the more intelligent species of the Galaxy. Due to their great strength and toughness, species like orrays, tauntauns and rontos were used for the transport of people and loads. Other reptiles, like massifs, were trained for guard duty or to track enemies. For those seeking extreme pets, reptiles offered some exciting choices such as the rancor and roggwart; however, nobody could tame the most fearsome reptiles, including the zillo beast and dragonsnake.
