Tibidon sand whale

Canon Linked from 13 articles

Tibidon sand whales, or just sand whales, were a relative of the tibidee that was native to the desert planet Tatooine. Measuring three hundred meters in length, the sand whales used their pectoral fins and a tail fluke to propel themselves through either sand or air. In 9 BBY, the sand whaling station Tibidon Station was set up to harvest meat from the corpse of a tibidon sand whale on Tatooine.
