The Movies

The rancor was a terrible creature hidden in a shadowy chamber beneath Jabba the Hutt 's throne room.

Expanded Universe

Rancor s are rare creatures, found only on scattered worlds such as Dathomir and the Ottethan system. The rancors of Dathomir are stronger and much more intelligent than others.

Behind the Scenes

Creature Designer Phil Tippett describes the rancor as a cross between a gorilla and a potato. Based on the original maquette, Industrial Light & Magic first sought to create the rancor as a person in a creature suit.
