There was a surprising lack of beasts in the Beta book, despite the fact that they have made appearances in every single Star Wars film, from the colo claw fish in Episode I to the Wampas in Episode V and the arena beasts in Episode II. So I have been putting together some beast stat blocks in my spare time. Without further ado:

Wampa [Henchman]

Carnivorous predators native to the ice planet of Hoth in the Outer Rim, the Wampa is a savage beast that will attack anything they come across. They have adapted to survive in the harsh weather of their native planet and are consummate hunters. Luckily for their prey, they are usually solitary hunters, but have been known to travel in packs to take down larger gamer.

They are a common prey animal for the Wampa, something which worked against the Rebels from time to time. They possessed numerous evolutionary adaptations which helped them to survive in the cold weather of their homeworld.

Native to Vendaxa, the Acklay is a ferocious carnivore that while aquatic by nature is also able to operate on land, and often did to hunt prey. They had tough leathery skin and sharp teeth, as well as six sharp claws on the ends of their legs to help take down prey. They were also immune to the effects of radiation.

Gundark [Henchman]

Bloodthirsty and short tempered the gundark is a dangerous and feared opponent known to attack without provocation. Like the Acklay, they were common sights in underground gladiatorial matches and other illegal blood sports where they were often favored to win against larger and more dangerous opponents. As if their natural strength wasn’t enough, the gundark also possessed a cunning that allowed them to use simple tools and weapons in combat. They are foes not to be taken lightly.

Corellian Sand Panther [Henchmen]

Feline desert hunters who are able to use their surroundings to hide, the Corellian Sand Panther is an incredibly skilled and quiet hunter and stalker. While they are technically a protected species, their hides are incredibly popular in garments and handbags and as such, poaching them can be a very successful and lucrative business. That is if the poacher can locate and slay the beast.

Dragonsnake [Henchman]

The deadliest predator on Dagobah, the dragonsnake is an incredibly quick, incredibly patient hunter, able to lie in wait for hours at a time, and then moving with lightning quickness when prey approaches close enough and are able to swallow most of their prey whole. They are somewhat slow and clumsy on land, but frighteningly quick in the water, and are able to glide unseen and unheard through the swamp waters of their homeworld. Luckily for those that run afoul of these creatures, they are solitary hunters.

Kintan Strider [Henchman]

Nearly extinct, the Kintan Strider can no longer be found on its homeworld. Commonly seen as guard beasts by Hutt crime lords or in underground fighting pits the Kintan Strider is a sight to behold. Massive shoulders and arms that almost touch the ground, the Kintan Strider has no neck, but instead has its face squarely in the middle of its chest. They are intelligent enough to utilize simple weapons. Combined with their ability to heal incredibly quickly, they are a dangerous foe indeed. Though most sentients have never seen one in person, they are familiar with its appearance from the game of dejarik, where it is a game piece.

Cool - nice work. Been thinking the same thin myself as I went to convert old aventures for my campaign. Surely a Rancor (and possibly an Acklay) should be Nemesis' rather than Henchmen though?

Kouhun [Minion]

Tiny centipede like insects around 30 centimeters long, they are native to the jungle planet of Indourmodo. Small and swift moving, the kouhun also possesses an incredibly potent poison that mimics the effects of cardiac arrest in most sentient species, which makes them incredibly popular among assassins and other men and women of ill repute. In addition, they can be dyed to match their surroundings.

Soak/Defense: 3/0
Thresholds : Wound: 5
Silhouette : 0
Equipment : Poisoned fangs (Brawl, Damage 2; Critical 4; Range [Engaged]; Pierce 2)

Greater Krayt Dragon [Nemesis]

At least 100 meters in length the Krayt Dragon is titanic desert creature that is the biggest of big game for most hunters for the pearls that form in their gullets. Able to submerge themselves in the sands of their desert homeworld, they are able to move underneath the dunes largely unseen. They are rarely seen living by the natives of Tatooine, but their bones dot the landscape and are highly valued as building materials.

Canyon Krayt Dragon [Henchman]

Slightly smaller than the greater krayt dragon, the canyon krayt dragon is still an incredibly dangerous foe, making its home in the rocky canyons and jagged mountains on the edge of the Jundland Wastes. Their stomachs contain the same “dragon pearls,” and thus they are hunted by those brave, skilled, or stupid enough to do so. The only thing the canyon krayt dragon fears is a greater krayt dragon, and they sometimes clash in titanic struggles when they stray too far into each other’s territory.

Thanks. I had thought about it, but Henchman feels pretty good for the Acklay. I'd probably put a Tyrant or a Bull Rancor as a Nemesis, though they're frightening enough even as a Henchman.

Anyway, If it's ok I'd like to stat up some beasts as well.

With the Devour quality, how much damage would a character automatically take while being Devoured? Brawn rating?

Beautiful work Cyril. I will be stealing a few for the Threat Detected How The Tusken Raider Stole Christmas module.

So what happens when I post to an archived thread I wonder?

Anyway I am necroing this thread simply to say thanks for the awesome work, going to lift it for my game.

This is the thread I was looking for

Thanks, this is some cool stuff.
