==Biology and appearance==
Reptomammals were a type of reptile defined as reproducing through live birth like a mammal, rather than laying fertilized eggs like other true reptiles. Reptilian characteristics could include leathery or scaled skin, claws, slit-pupiled eyes, or a forked tongue.The New Essential Guide to Alien Species
Clawdites had singular pregnancies and gave birth to live offspring. Rancors had thick skin, and although they were reptomammals, they laid clutches of two eggs at a time. They did not suckle their young, but they did care for them. Tauntauns were warm-blooded and commonly fur-covered, with subspecies of scaly tauntauns that lacked fur and lived in the ice caves of Hoth. Vurks gave birth underwater.
