[edit] Biography

Born on Aduba-3, Arrogantus became an accomplished swoop racer and was based on Caprioril and earned the name "Arrogant One". However, a Dug named Hodrix later appeared in the racing scene, and began defeating Arrogantus in race after race. His own manager even left him to work for Hodrix.

After attempting a dangerous stunt to win back the hearts of his former fans, he suffered a serious head injury that ended his racing career.

Years later, he became the leader of the Cloud-Riders, a group of outlaws that operated on Aduba-3. They lived just outside a small village, and every year they would stampede the town's banthas, burn its crops, and carry off its women.

The poor farmer Ramiz came to Han Solo and Chewbacca asking for help from Arrogantus. Solo gathered up a group of down and out spacers, the Eight for Aduba-3, and went off to stop the villain.

He arrived for his annual pillaging, but in addition to the Eight, he was also met by the Behemoth from the World Below, which had been summoned by the Old One. This monster managed to crush Arrogantus with one step of its gigantic foot.
