Captured as a child from his homeworld of Kashyyyk , Bowdaar was forced into a life of violence , fighting for survival in gladiator arenas from one side of the galaxy to the other . He proved himself to be a very capable fighter . Over more than a century , Bowdaar fought in single combat in more than ten thousand matches against such formidable opponents as rancors , Mandalorians , gundarks and even a Jedi . In all that time he never lost a match . Almost more impressive was the fact that Bowdaar often fought without a single weapon or piece of armor . Amongst the more ignorant and gullible denizens of the criminal underworld , rumors spread that he was some form of immortal being . Those who faced Bowdaar in combat and lived to tell about it said he was simply the best fighter around . By 3643 BBY , Bowdaar ended up a pet gladiator to Drooga the Hutt to pay off a gambler ' s debt . He kept Bowdaar in a cage between matches and used him cruelly and pettily . Drooga was annoyed that Bowdaar slew all his opponents too quickly , depriving him of the full entertainment value of the fights . He took many steps to keep Bowdaar at a disadvantage , such as depriving him of any weapons and draining half his blood to keep him weak , and even poisoning him outright . It was at this time when a smuggler captain arrived on Nar Shaddaa to barter a male shanjaru for a prototype engine . Upon locating Drooga ' s barge in the Nikto Sector , Bowdaar was to fight a gang of Kaleesh warriors . Though the Wookiee could ' ve taken them by himself , the smuggler chose to intervene . Bowdaar later assisted the smuggler against Zank Helrott , Rogun the Butcher ' s bounty hunter . Finally , Drooga decided to do away with the Wookiee in one last magnificent fight to the death with his pet gundark , which he had kept starving for the occasion . The smuggler captain assisted Bowdaar in his fight with the gundark , with simultaneously infuriated Drooga while also providing him with suitable entertainment for the evening . Once the gundark was dead , Drooga decided that the Wookiee was no longer worth the costs to maintain him and simply turned him loose , who then joined the smuggler ' s crew .
