The Rancor is a semi-sentient reptilian carnivore that hails from Dathomir, these predators could grow up to 5 meters tall. With long arms, heavily muscled bodies and a hide thick enough to withstand most blaster bolts, these creatures were rather formidable in the wild. Sometimes domesticated for fighting pits or as entertaining methods of execution, Rancors have developed a reputation for fearsomeness. It is rumored that the Nightsisters once used Rancors as battle mounts.
Spud was bred in a tame condition, and is comfortable around humanoids. It depends on humanoids for survival and looks to them for support. As creature handling goes up, a member can better understand and train and control this creature, but it will always look to Thran Occasus-Palpatine for guidance and support. When a character is proficient (+3) at handling creatures, they can do all they need with a domesticated creature.
Spud has typical coloring and physical appearance for a Rancor.
Spud thrives on the hunt, and is confident with taking bold action when pursuing prey or a target. They see no need to hide, taking pride in their natural abilities to bring them success.
Spud is larger than the average Rancor in terms of size and body mass. Their bulkier build can offer better power but often at the expense of the mobility and agility commonly associated with other Rancor.
