- "Derrown, known simply as the Exterminator."
- ―Count Dooku, introducing Derrown
Derrown, also known as "the Exterminator" because of the intense electric fields his body produced, was a male Parwan bounty hunter active during the Clone Wars.[5] He was a part of Cad Bane's group.[4]
Derrown was brought to Serenno, along with other bounty hunters including Cad Bane, Obi-Wan Kenobi disguised as Rako Hardeen, and Embo. He, along with the other ten bounty hunters, would be put in the Box to see who would earn the honor of partaking in a plot to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. After surviving,[5] Derrown would go on to participate in the scheme, which was eventually stopped by the Jedi.[4]
Behind the scenes[]
The character of Derrown was voiced by Matthew Wood in Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series.[5] Derrown's design was based on a piece of artwork done by Ron Cobb of a colorful and odd Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina alien from the 1977 original Star Wars film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope that ultimately went unused. Unlike Derrown, who is more like a sentient gasbag, Cobb's artwork described the alien as a ambulatory and tropical plant.[6]
