Kashyyyk bantha

Kashyyyk Bantha was a subspecies of bantha native to Kashyyyk. They were much larger than the banthas on Tatooine, and had slightly shorter fur. They should not be confused with the Kashyyyk greyclimber, which was also referred to as a "Kashyyyk bantha." Whereas the true Kashyyyk bantha had three straight, smooth horns, the Kashyyyk greyclimber had two massive slabs of bone on the top of its head to be used as a battering ram. It was believed that the planet's bantha population had grown from specimens brought back to Kashyyyk by Wookiee traders. Their massive sizes made them good war steeds. The Jedi Luminara Unduli even rode one into battle at the Battle of Kashyyyk.
