Charon

The charon were a type of creature that lived on the planet Gand. Prior to Zuckuss' undertaking of the Great Rite at some point before 4 ABY,The events of Bounty Hunters 32 take place after the Escape from Cloud City and before the Rescue of Han Solo, which are dated to 3 ABY and 4 ABY, respectively, by Star Wars: Galactic Atlas. a number of sacred flowers known as the T'karra flower were spotted by Gand as growing in the nesting grounds of the charon. As part of their rite, hatchlings of Zuckuss' clan, including Zuckuss, were to recover a flower from the nesting grounds and use their insticts to survive against the charon and return in order to pass the test. After the hatchlings made their way to the grounds, one of the Gand, Garkung, took a flower, though they were killed by a charon. Zuckuss attempted to fight back against the charon, and was eventually able to get it to fall off the edge of a cliff. With the charon defeated, Zuckuss returned to the Master Findsman, and informed them of what had happened, though he had not recovered a flower. The Master Findsman told Zuckuss that was not a condition of the rite, and cast Zuckuss out of the clan for failing to complete the rite.
