Biology and appearance
The greater krayt dragon was the larger of the two subspecies of krayt dragons, giant carnivorous reptiles found on Tatooine. They were characterized by their long neck, whip-like tail, horns, sharp teeth, and five pairs of legs. Like their smaller kin, greater krayt dragons had valuable pearls within them, only these where very much larger as one was shown to be bigger than a Tusken Raider's head.
Behavior
Greater krayt dragons submerged themselves in the shifting sand dunes, and would emerge to consume their prey. The greater krayt dragon was also capable of spitting a highly corrosive acid onto attackers. The dragon would also hibernate longer given sufficient sustenance to do so, and could allegedly sense the vibrations of a ship flying nearby.
History
The greater krayt dragons evolved on Tatooine, a desert planet located in the Outer Rim region of the galaxy. In 0 BBY, C-3PO came across the skeleton of a deceased juvenile greater krayt dragon while lost in the Dune Sea.
Another greater krayt dragon had eaten a sarlacc and taken up residence in its abandoned pit. Said dragon became a nuisance to a tribe of Tusken Raiders and the citizens of Mos Pelgo living nearby, often eating their livestock or damaging their equipment, and overall bearing a risk to their safety. This specimen was later killed by said Tusken Raiders and citizens, with the aid of Din Djarin and Cobb Vanth, though it had, in turn, sprayed and killed many of its assailants with its acid. The tribe of Tusken Raiders took much of its meat and its pearl.
