As we know, the Star Wars Franchise loves to introduce different creatures and Krayt Dragon is one of these. This mysterious creature is very much familiar to the fans of Star War.
If you remember Star Wars: A New Hope, then you might remember this creature. The good news is, it is back once again but this time is in Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season 2).
Fans appreciated the appearance of this creature but something is missing! This time, it looked very different from its legendary counterpart.
Why is it happening and how is it influencing the story? Maybe there is some specific reason. We are here to find all the details about it in this review.
What is Krayt Dragon?
The Star Wars Franchise always makes us thrilled with their exceptional storyline, casting, and production design. Even they brought some creatures that perfectly blend with the story.
Fans of star wars remember all these creatures because of the importance of their roles. Krayt Dragon is one of these that appeared in Star Wars: A New Hope for the first time.
This beast is an enormous serpentine-like reptile. It lurks in the loose sands. Once again, it appears in Star Wars. But it was completely redesigned and fans also love the new appearance.
This time it looks more ferocious than ever. This creature has shown up in different Star Wars stories for years. Even it got more popularity when fans found it in the video game Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic.
What is the Term ‘Krayt dragon’?
Do you know that the term Krayt dragon refers more to deadly species? Yes, it is true. Most of them are single species.
Even we found “greater Krayt ” in Star Wars: Episode IV. But it is some kind of blender with real-world dragon fables.
Is It Stronger Than Any Other Species?
Tatooine is the name of that place where star wars fans found most of the scariest monsters. In the Star Wars universe, most of the species come from this place.
The environment of this place is perfect to survive, especially for the very strong and terrifying monstrous creature. Tatooine is a desolated planet that is full of harsh sand.
Krayt Dragon found on Tatooine but this one is more deadly and stronger than other species. It is an apex monster and has superior mobility.
Its greater size helps to win the battle most of the time. This creature is the deadliest one on the entire planet.
What About its Biology?
As we saw, the Krayt Dragon’s size is a matter of fact, because the size of this monster has never been constant. Because of the species, they have different sizes. For the regular Krayt Dragon, the size is almost 45 meters long.
In Star Wars: The Mandalorian, the Krayt Dragon we’ve seen is one kind of unidentified subspecies of Krayt Dragon. It’s far bigger and has few changes compared to the regular Krayt Dragon.
Is the Behavior of This Creature Different?
From the beginning, we saw that this creature is very active in hunting and killing other creatures. It is an active hunter.
Astonishing but the good side of this creature is it swims through the sand in the entire sandy plains of Tatooine. Without any reason, they become more agile. They can even sense any moving creature and hunt them.
What are the Abilities?
As you know, a Krayt dragon can swim through sands but it is capable of doing more than that. It has the speed of Andrew.
To gain such speed this creature uses its massive size. It is even capable of spraying venom. It works like an acid-like substance.
What is Their Weakness?
As a deadly species, they don’t have much weakness. Mostly, their outer body is hard enough to absorb different harmful substances.
The only weakness is in their mouth. To make them suffer or kill, a strong enough explosion can damage the inside of their mouth.
On the other hand, this creature faces problems in two-dimensional to three-dimensional images. Even a shadow can cause them trouble. We saw it took efforts at a time from different groups of people to take down a Krayt dragon.
Is it Relatable with A Worm?
Tatooine indeed has thousands of species and all of them are different in structure, behaviors, and types. Most of the species are native but we can’t keep them in the same category.
As an example, Krayt Dragon cannot be matched with them because they are not warm and don’t look like them. After the research, we found two subspecies of the Dragon.
One is Canyon Krayt and another one is Greater Krayt. At first, the appearance of such a species is something lizard-like with legs. But Greater Krayt has legs and uses them like other native species as worms.
So, many people called them a worm. In Star War: New Hope, fans got the chance to see a Krayt as a skeleton.
From Where The Mandalorians Krayt Dragon Comes From?
Do you know about the desert planet: Dune’s Arrakis? This is another space fantasy project. From this project, Krayt Dragon is inspired by this space fantasy.
Conclusion:
Once again Krayt Dragon is back in the Star War franchise! We always love to feel excitement when a giant and the deadly creature become an important part of the story.
All we saw how hard it is to kill a Keayut Dragon. Hopefully one more time we have the chance to see it and its supernatural abilities on an international planet.
Somehow we can connect this creature with a very fast star movie. Still, fans always want more explanation from the Star War franchise about this strong big deadly creature.
Another good thing about this creature is the sound. It was more realistic than every other species. So, creators make a perfect species of Tatooine that is perfectly placed at the right point of the story.
