The Tauntaun is a large furred lizard adapted for harsh and cold environments, Tauntauns were native to Hoth, but found use elsewhere in the galaxy after being domesticated. Two meters tall and white, tauntauns had large clawed legs that made them surefooted in even the iciest terrain, and two smaller, almost vestigial arms. The layer of blubber that allowed the tauntaun to tolerate the cold temperatures had an unpleasant smell to most sentients, although that pales in comparison to the scent a freshly killed tauntaun gives off.
