Rakazzak beast/Legends

Jump to search
Rakazzak beasts were three-meter-tall arachnids from the forest moon of Endor.[1]
Characteristics
They were carnivorous and spun webs to trap prey. They also actively hunted by rearing back on their hind legs and using their forelegs to trap prey. Their long legs gave them exceptional speed and kept their riders out of range of attacks from the ground.
They were often preyed upon by condor dragons.
The creatures were similar to the rearing spiders, and the two species may in fact have been the same.[source?]
History
Morag captured two of the beasts and used them to hold an infant phlog. Some Yuzzums used domesticated rakazzak beasts as mounts.
