It's mentioned in novels, etc. Apparently it's some fearsome creature that lives on Tatooine. Is there any EU on it featuring a description, picture, ANYTHING?

well, let me see. they are meat eating dragons that live in the mtns of the Jundland Wastes of Tatooine.Their skin is yellowish brown, have 3 large horns on their heads and walk on four squat legs. Their gizzards hold dragon pearls which are very valuable and beautiful.

Well, I knew a little about them like the pearls from reading EU novels. And yes, I believe those were the bones of one. The rest I got from the SW Encyclopedia.

Froghopper - I too have heard that those bones in the desert of Tatooine are that of a Krayt Dragon. For those of you who want to take a look, you can see them in the scene where C-3PO is trying to get the attention of the Jawa's sandcrawler in the distance. "Over here!" Also, I think there are paintings of the dragons in the Art of Star Wars book. They just look like giant lizards to me.

Redemption, I don't have the game, Does it represent them as looking like a Kamodo(sp?) dragon? Ofcourse it is probably bigger.

They are very simmilar...though they look really nasty...no match for the rail gun thing though.
