Biography
Also known as "Snaggletooth", Zutton was a tortured artist who, like most Snivvians, was driven to live out the stories he created.
He commonly spent his money from selling pieces of art for spice, and frequently visited the cantinas in Mos Eisley, such as Chalmun's Cantina. His paintings were often of friends and associates, such as at Jabba's Palace, or, possibly, of his targets.[1] As well as being an artist, he was also an author and created stories of some of the frequent patrons in Chalmun's Cantina.
Zutton's work for Jabba Desilijic Tiure was motivated by the need to support and look after Takeel. His bounty hunting skills were well developed, and he had built up a reputation in the Outer Rim as an efficient, decent hunter, whom even his targets and law enforcement could respect.[1]
He on one occasion destroyed Jabba's CZ-3 secretary droid. [source?]
Behind the scenes
Although this character is apparently short, an error in the Kenner figure line made them create a tall, but otherwise identical "Blue Snaggletooth" figure. "Blue Snaggletooth" is the informal name of a rare Kenner action figure from 1978. Released as part of the Sears "Star Wars Cantina Adventure Set", as well as a Sears exclusive mail-in two-pack with Greedo, the Snaggletooth figure was intended to represent the character Zutton. However, the only reference used for the figure was a partial black and white photograph of the character. As a result, the Snaggletooth figure included wore a uniform erroneously painted blue, had long legs, and wore boots and gloves. All versions of Snaggletooth from 1979 onward, including later Sears releases of the cantina set, were corrected to the proper red color, with bare feet and hands and shorter legs.
