Canyon krayt dragon

The canyon krayt dragon was the smaller and more common species of krayt dragon, a predatory reptile from Tatooine. As its name suggested, it dwelled in rock caves and canyons. Canyon krayt dragons had brown skin and yellow eyes, and their head was covered with a multitude of horns. They were far more common than their relatives, the leviathan krayt dragons. One such beast had taken up residence in the Laguna Caves by the time of the Invasion of Naboo. As a young boy, Luke Skywalker once fell into the lair of a canyon krayt dragon in one of his daring outings. A canyon krayt dragon was slain by the First Order's Supreme Leader, Kylo Ren, after escaping from the prison it had been placed in by Gardulla Besadii the Elder. Ren used the beast's remains to create a suit and weapons, which he used to return to Gardulla's fortress and kill several of her guards.
