Kashyyyk Bantha is was a subspecies of bantha native to Kashyyyk. They were much larger than the banthas on Tatooine, and had slightly shorter fur. They should not be confused with the Kashyyyk greyclimber, which was also referred to as a "Kashyyyk bantha." It was believed that the planet's bantha population had grown from specimens brought back to Kashyyyk by Wookiee traders. Theire massive sizes made them good war steeds. The Jedi Luminara Unduli even rode one into battle at the Battle of Kashyyyk.

Behind the scenesEdit

The "Kashyyyk bantha" in The Hidden Enemy had three horns, contradicting the Gamer depiction and description in The New Essential Guide to Alien Species. The Kashyyyk banthas that appear in the Star Wars Galaxies expansion Rage of the Wookiees also have three horns. Thus, the term does not refer to one particular sub-species, but simply to banthas located on Kashyyyk.
