covered in thick, shaggy white fur and possessed four eyes and a small proboscis. During the Clone Wars, they lived a primitive lifestyle. A talz named Muftak can be seen in A New Hope. Taozin The taozin is a huge, completely transparent, insect-like beast, endemic to the moon of Va'art. It eats anything foolish enough to come near, which it traps by spitting a gluey fluid that becomes silk and entwines it. TauntaunTauntauns are 2.5 m (8.2 ft) tall bipedal snow reptiles, indigenous to the ice planet Hoth. Tauntauns superficially resemble a robust kangaroo, but are covered with white fur and have downturned horns, four nostrils, and a foul body odor. They graze on lichen, moss and fungi found in ice grottoes as a food source, as well as scavenging on frozen flesh or small rodents; their own meat is unfit for human consumption. They are used as mounts by the Rebel Alliance during their occupation of Echo Base. The tauntaun's thick layers of fat and fur provide adequate protection from the cold during the daytime, but it cannot survive exposure to the cold of night. Due to oil excreted from their skin, tauntauns give off a very unpleasant odor. They are the primary prey of the wampa. The species was designed for The Empire Strikes Back (1980) by Ralph McQuarrie, Joe Johnston, and Phil Tippett. It was conceived early on of as being more dinosaur-like, similar to the blurrg. Mechanical costumes were considered for shots featuring live-action actors, but were found to be unpractical. Instead, the creatures were primarily created via stop motion animation (including motion control) under Phil Tippett. Their animation was significant because of the use of go motion (making their motion more consistent with live action). A specimen is featured prominently on the film's theatrical poster. A mounted tauntaun head appears in Return of the Jedi (1983) next to Jabba the Hutt's favorite trophy, the frozen Han Solo. Terecon Predators on the planet Essowyn, terecons are reptiles, who attack by burrowing into the ground and leaping spectacularly upon their unsuspecting prey. They can grow up to 1 m (3.3 ft) tall and 8 m (26.2 ft) long. Terentatek A creature mentioned in the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, presumably created by the Sith to kill Jedi. On the Jedi Academy on Dantooine, a Twi'lek Jedi teaches Revan about an event called 'The
