Also, wampas have thick, white fur. Wampas roam the icy plains of Hoth and prey on animals such as the tauntaun. They make their home in ice caverns beneath the surface of Hoth. Wampas disable their prey, drag it off to their lair, and suspend it from the ceiling. They prefer fresh meat, so their victims are often kept alive.
Scientists believe that wampas are solitary predators.
Yet, research and first-hand experience has shown that wampas can and will coordinate mass attacks. Wampa pelts or stuffed heads are prized trophies in the some circles of the hunting community.
