![]() ![]() ![]() Once the four-legged design was approved, concept artist Terryl Whitlatch developed a hand-drawn walk cycle to demonstrate to ILM animators how the animal should move. The original concept sketches of the fambaa were two-legged dinosaur-like creatures, lacking forelimbs like their kaadu cousins. ĭuring the Galactic Civil War, Senior Captain Thrawn of the Imperial Navy, tasked a experienced spacer to kill an adult fambaa for him, then retrieve a vial blood sample in order for Thrawn to conduct a scientific experiment. The beast was abandoned to the Ohnaka Gang when Preigo and the other performers fled a Jedi rescue mission. Around that time, Preigo's Traveling World of Wonder had a fambaa as part of the performance. In Abafar, they were used as meat in a dish known as Fambaa Delight. ĭuring their Clone Wars insurgency, the Onderon rebels used fambaas to hold heavy artillery. During that battle, the fambaa-mounted shield generator protected the Grand Army until the generators were destroyed by battle droids. They were subsequently released by the Gungan Grand Army and outfitted for use in the the Gungan's diversionary battle. During the Trade Federation occupation of Naboo in 32 BBY, the fambaas were placed in Camp Six. They were also mounted with large booma cannons. In times of war, fambaas were used to carry portable deflector shield generators for protecting their Gungan masters. The fambaa had been domesticated by Gungans for millennia as beasts of burden and cavalry/artillery draft beasts. Their only known predators were sando aqua monsters breaching the surface of the swamp waters from the abyssal ocean beneath. The young hatched with moist skin and gills, and upon maturity, the gills disappeared and their skin hardened. Females laid large numbers of sticky, gelatinous eggs, which they deposited in puddles and underwater. There were also special fambaa stables contained inside the underwater hydrostatic bubble-enclosed cities for the domesticated breeds kept by Gungans. In the wild, fambaas traveled in herds of up to twelve, but formed breeding herds of hundreds of family units that were so large they were traditionally put to pasture in sacred swampy areas. They also foraged for underwater plants, breathing underwater and swimming with ease. They obtained food by easily knocking over trees to get at leaves and berries. You lost your master, and I lost my Jedi." ― Hondo Ohnaka to Preigo's fambaa įambaas were large non-sentient amphibians native to the Gungan swamps of the planet Naboo, as well as Onderon. ![]()
