Tauntauns were a species of non-sentient lizards native to the snowy plains of Hoth. Sure-footed and furry, the tauntauns were well-adapted to the daytime temperature on Hoth, although they could not handle the chilling extremes of the night. In their natural habitat, they were prey to the towering wampa ice creatures. As they were swift and docile, they could be used as mounts, and the members of the Rebel Alliance domesticated some of them when they built their new headquarters on Hoth.[2]
