Chrysalide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The chrysalide, also known as the "chrysalis beast", was a type of rancor altered by Sith Alchemy, possessing two four-fingered claws and two three-toed feet. Their teeth could chew through X-1 Viper armor.
Emperor Palpatine kept some as pets at the Imperial Citadel at Byss, where they would attack on his command.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Though the resemblance was obvious, the chrysalis beasts were not specifically identified as altered rancors when they were introduced in Dark Empire II.
