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.
