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.
Domesticated
Rancor 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 Iron Menagerie for guidance and support. When a character is proficient (+3) at handling creatures, they can do all they need with a domesticated creature.
Rancor 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.
Rancor has a natural, instinctive drive to take the lead when around other creatures, especially when among fellow Rancor’s. They are usually the first to take point and will often look to assert their dominance by means of aggressive actions or by vocalizing with their respective method of communication (howling, hissing, roaring, etc.).
