Allies & Adversaries: Threats of the Wastes

BANTHA
Tusken raiders prize banthas almost as much as water. Although they can be found on numerous worlds, these large pack animals are most notable for the nearly symbiotic relationship they have with their savage riders on the deserts of Tatooine, even going so far as to perishing if the rider is slain.
