Space Dinosaur

Post by Hardcorhobbs »

Is there a space dinosaur race in Star Wars? Just wondering as I'm pondering my new character's stats... (And playing too much Mass Effect 2 ;))

Here's one:

There was also those Force sages that communicated through an array of tongues (yes, seriously) whose name I cannot recall right now.

I should add that I also have the Ultimate Alien Anthology for the previous edition at home. If there is anything in there, it should be pretty straight-forward to adapt.

Ee, the Sii-Rusk are a (silly) race that invaded the Republic several years after the defeat of the Empire. They couldn't stand human's smell, enslaved or killed them and championed a process called 'entechment' which was sort of like becoming a cyborg.

The books about them were pretty bad. :/

There's only one thing to do with space dinosaurs. Kill 'em and get the xp...

I think they were in either the Legacy Era book or Unknown Regions.

I posted my first thought. My second thought is LAME! I mean really? It's just a velociraptor in space who can manipulate weapons and has weird things coming out of its nose... They couldn't make it a cooler race?

Like I said, playing a lot of Mass Effect 2 and just went to the Krogan homeworld. (HAHA to all you guys who let Rex die missed some good stuff :P) IMHO the Krogan are a cool Dinosaur race (and if they weren't so chaotic in combat I'd use them as teammates more...). I thought it'd be neat if there was a cool dinosaur race in Star Wars... but so far I'm not seeing one...

I'd agree... except that the space dinosaurs are tough. I have a much more fun fighting the Geth. Disruptor ammo FTW!

The lizardy guys (like Bossk) are dino-esque, and their personalities are fairly Krogan. Maybe one ethnicity has a cool webbed crest on their heads too? Just some ideas.

Oh, I should clarify... I wasn't looking for a space dinosaur for my new character, just wondering if they exist. I'm already set on creating a Duros pilot. This questions was pure curiosity on my part. :)
