HOTH

Here are just a few of the creatures who live on the ice planet Hoth...


Wampa

The Wampa Ice Creature stands over 2 meters in height and is a deadly, stealthy predator. It's snowy white fur provides perfect camouflage. The Wampa uses its tremendous strength to snap the neck of its prey.

Wampa's live in caves carved within the Hoth ice. Wampa's suspend their victims from the icy cave ceiling until they are ready to eat.

Rebel troops were plagued by Wampa attacks during the construction of their hidden Hoth base. The Wampa's attacked numerous rebels and tauntaun's before the base's construction was finished.

Tauntaun

Tauntaun's are a species of snow lizard that freely roam the snowy planet of Hoth.

The Rebel troops managed to domesticate the Tauntaun's and use them for patrol duties outside of the base. Tauntaun's became extremely useful as the Rebels had difficulties adapting their repulsorlift speeders to the freezing Hoth climate.
