In 14 ABY, this mutant rancor was bred by the Disciples of Ragnos, who planned on releasing the beast in Taanab cities so that they could steal arms, credits, and other needed goods during the chaos. The beast was much larger than normal rancors, had green capsules on its back, could breathe a stream of green toxic gas and had an unnatural green hue to its skin.

Once released, the rancor began attacking the Disciples themselves, who were unable to stop it, as the mutant was immune to conventional weapons. It then began wreaking havoc across the facility, while a Jedi named Jaden Korr tried to stop it. Eventually, Jaden managed to kill the beast by pinning it between a force field and a large crate on a conveyor belt, crushing the savage beast.

BiologyEdit

The mutant rancor was quite a bit larger than a regular rancor. It had two massive plates of bone jutting out from it's shoulders and two durasteel plates fused on top of it's vulnerable eyes. Massive spines jutted out from it's head and shoulders, and six green glowing capsules protruded out of it's back. These mechanical pods created toxic gas, which could be exhaled through the rancor's mouth.

Mutant rancor skin was extremely thick and was able to deflect blaster bolts and even glancing lightsaber blows. Because of it's tough skin, it was extremely hard to kill (unfortunately for it's owners). It had an immunity to poison due to the venomous pods on it's back and moved unusually fast for a rancor. It has a heavy tolerance to pain making seemingly a juggernaut.
