Trandoshan Trandoshans , also called T ' doshok , were large , bipedal reptilian sentient humanoid s from the planet Trandosha , and were renowned as great hunters . Trandoshans relished the thrill of a hunt , and were known to embark on a hunting related rite of passage . Garnac was a Trandoshan hunter who operated a game preserve on the moon Wasskah , and oversaw his son ' s fatally failed rite of passage , which was done in the form of hunting a Jedi Padawan . One of the most feared bounty hunter s in the galaxy was a Trandoshan known as Bossk , who pulled jobs for various organizations , including the Galactic Empire . Biology and appearance . Trandoshans were sentient humanoid s with smooth , scaly skin . Trandoshans ranged from being tall and fairly gaunt , to being short and more rotund . Trandoshans were powerful beings , and had long thin arms that ended in either three thick digits , or four thin digits , including a thumb . Trandoshans had a pair of eye s set back on a pointed skull , and a maw filled with pointed teeth . Trandoshans often walked barefooted , and had feet with three digits each . A Trandoshan ' s skin color could vary wildly , and Trandoshans could be found with green , red , orange , brown , or yellow skin . Some Trandoshans , such as one named Smug , had brownish - orange skin with red stripes on his face . History . Trandoshans came from the planet Trandosha , and were hunting enthusiasts . They were identifiable in the galactic community by the time of the intergalactic Clone Wars , and had taken control of the moon Wasskah , which became the location of island game preserves . The hunter Garnac had control of the island designated as Island Four , and ran a hunting guild based out of a floating fortress that hovered above the island . Garnac ' s scout s traveled to different worlds and collect other sentient beings before delivering them to Wasskah and dumping them on island four , where the prisoner s would be hunted for sport . During the Clone Wars , a trio of Jedi younglings were captured and brought to Wasskah . For a long time , the trio managed to avoid the Trandoshans , who continued to deliver other prey to the island . Eventually , the Trandoshan Lo - Taren captured the Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano on the planet Felucia and brought her to island four alongside several other prisoners . Once delivered to the island , Tano escaped and discovered the other younglings . Garnac ' s son , Dar , later set out to kill Tano himself as part of an important rite of passage , but was instead killed by the Jedi . Garnac gave chase , killing the youngling Kalifa . Later , other Trandoshan scouts abducted the Wookiee Chewbacca , but before Chewbacca could be successfully delivered , the Trandoshan transport ship was damaged and it crashed on the hunting island . Tano killed the two man crew , and escaped the wreckage with Chewbacca . The Wookiee was able to craft a communications device with some of the scavenged wreckage , and was able to contact the Wookiee general Tarfful . Tano , the remaining younglings , and the Wookiee forces engaged Garnac ' s guild on their fortress , and killed all of the Trandoshan hunters . Meanwhile , the bounty hunter Bossk took on numerous jobs , and eventually acted as a bodyguard to the upcoming bounty hunter Boba Fett . In time , Bossk would be revered as one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy . On one occasion , Bossk visited the planet Lothal to collect a bounty on the Dug criminal Gronson Takkaro . This brought him into contact with the young Force - sensitive human youth Ezra Bridger and into conflict with the corrupt Imperial Security Bureau Lieutenant Jenkes , who was in league with Takkaro . With the help of Bridger , Bossk succeeded in exposing Jenkes ' criminal dealings . Trandoshans in the galaxy . The species had a poor history with the Wookiees , who hated the reptilian people . Some Trandoshans chose to find other outlets for work , as opposed to hunting . One was Gha Nachkt , who lived life as a salvager . He was eventually hired by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to scour the sites of damaged ships owned by the Galactic Republic and find any useful data or scraps . Nachkt eventually recovered an R2 series astromech droid from a Republic starfighter , but the droid was eventually recovered by the Jedi Anakin Skywalker , while Nachkt was killed by General Grievous . Bossk ' s bounty hunting career brought him to various locales across the galaxy , and was for a time involved with the bounty hunters Aurra Sing and Castas . Bossk and Fett worked with the other bounty hunters in an attempt to avenge Fett ' s fallen father , Jango , by killing Mace Windu , the Jedi who killed Jango . Sing later killed Castas , while Bossk and Fett were arrested by Republic authorities after a failed assassination . However , during a prison riot , both Bossk and Fett escaped the Republic prison they were sent to . They later formed a team of bounty hunters on the planet Tatooine and accept a job posted by the Belugan government on the planet Quarzite . Although Bossk was subdued by adversaries during the mission , team member Asajj Ventress was able to complete the mission , to a degree . When Ventress discovered that the cargo they were hired to protect was Pluma Sodi , a native Kage female , Ventress swapped the imprisoned girl with Fett , and was paid for the job ' s completion before the change was discovered . Much later , Bossk accepted a job from the Galactic Empire , which he did not complete , being beaten to the job by Fett . Nack Movers was a Trandoshan assassin who was well known in the Coruscant underworld , and at some point during the Clone Wars he bought a lightsaber . He was later murdered by his girlfriend , Ione Marcy , who then took the lightsaber for herself . On Lothal in 1 BBY , Trandoshans Seevor and Proach served the Mining Guild as captain and foreman respectively on the Ore crawler , Crawler 413 - 24 , until they were both killed during the hijacking of the vessel by the rebel Spectres .
