Fambaa

Fambaas were quadruped creatures that could be found on the planets Naboo and Onderon.^[2] Biologists surmised that both the fambaas and the falumpasets of Onderon were originally brought there by Naboo merchants, but there was little fossil evidence to back up that hypothesis.^[3]

During a fight on Great Grass Plains, they were deployed with Kaadus and Falumpasets to support the Gungan Grand Army, carrying large deflector shield generators on their back.^[4]

Behind the scenesEdit

Original concept sketches of the Fambaa depicted them as two-legged dinosaur-like creatures with the four-legged design being approved later. Upon the four-legged design being approved, concept artist Terryl Whitlatch developed hand-draw walk cycle of the Fambaa to demononstrate to Industrial Light & Magic animators how the animals would move.^[5]
