The first rancor in the franchise appeared in Return of the Jedi; Jabba the Hutt kept it imprisoned beneath his palace, using it as a method of executing prisoners, until it was killed by Luke Skywalker. In The Book of Boba Fett series, the titular character is gifted a tamed rancor, which he keeps as a pet and later rides into battle. The former owner explains that rancors form strong, loving bonds with owners who treat them well. Various rancors have also appeared in many books, comics, and video games related to the franchise, appearing in some media as native wildlife, and in other media as trained creatures of battle, used by both good and bad characters.
