Canon Legends version → Linked from 4 articles

The wampa cave, also called the wampa's ice cave, was located in the Lanteel Glacier on the planet Hoth. It was where Luke Skywalker was brought after being captured by a wampa, who killed his Tauntaun. Skywalker was later able to escape, defending himself by slicing the wampa's arm off with his lightsaber.
