- "I've never seen anyone boost a landspeeder so fast. How'd you learn?"
"My father taught me."
"Is your father a bounty hunter, too?"
"Yes." - ―Ezra Bridger and Bossk
Cradossk was a Trandoshan male and the father of Bossk. A seasoned warrior and respected bounty hunter, Cradossk shared a rivalry with the Wookiee chieftain Tarfful, and, by the time of the Clone Wars, Cradossk's son gained a reputation for hunting Wookiees. Despite adopting Cradossk's trade, Bossk was reluctant to talk about his father with young accomplice Ezra Bridger.
Biography
Edit
- "If you don't ask me any more pesky questions about my father, I won't ask about yours. Take it from me, kid. Fathers are overrated."
- ―Bossk, to Ezra Bridger
Cradossk was the father of the bounty hunter Bossk.
A fearsome Trandoshan male, Cradossk was an experienced warrior and respected bounty hunter during the Clone Wars[1] and Imperial Era.[2] Like other Trandoshans,[3] Cradossk had a fierce rivalry with the Wookiees of Kashyyyk, including Tarfful,[1] a Wookiee chieftain who fought against Trandoshan hunters.[4]
Several years before the Clone Wars,[5] Cradossk's son, Bossk,[6] was born on Trandosha,[2] the species' homeworld,[7] and Cradossk eventually taught Bossk how to steal landspeeders. Like his father,[2] Bossk became a bounty hunter and a renowned Wookiee hunter.[8] In 5 BBY,[9] during a mission on the planet Lothal, Bossk hired the street urchin Ezra Bridger as a guide. When the young human asked questions about Bossk's father, the Trandoshan became annoyed, stating that fathers were "overrated."[2]
Personality and traitsEdit
Cradossk had orange eyes and scaly, green skin.[1]
EquipmentEdit
As a bounty hunter, Cradossk wore a red flight suit and armed himself with a Relby-v10 mortar gun, a weapon also used by Bossk.[1]
Behind the scenesEdit
- "Join Tarfful and Cradossk to lead your forces into battle!"
- ―"Fierce Enemies" caption for Star Wars: Galactic Defense
Bossk's father was first referenced, without name, in Ezra's Gamble, a junior novel written by Ryder Windham and published by Disney–Lucasfilm Press[2] on August 5, 2014,[10] as a prequel to the animated television series Star Wars Rebels.[2] The bounty hunter Cradossk first appeared in the 2014 mobile game Star Wars: Galactic Defense. Although Galactic Defense did not state Cradossk's identity as Bossk's father,[1] a relationship originally established by author K. W. Jeter in the 1998 Star Wars Legends novel The Mandalorian Armor,[11] Leland Chee of the Lucasfilm Story Group confirmed as much.[6]
In Galactic Defense, Cradossk and Tarrful were unlockable Champions during the limited-time event "Fierce Enemies." Cradossk could gain Champion Synergy with other bounty hunter Champions, namely Bossk, Cad Bane, Dengar, Boba Fett, Jango Fett, and Aurra Sing.[1]
