Old One-Eye

Old One-Eye was a rancor with only one eye who was a contender in an illegal rancor fighting circuit on the galactic capital planet of Coruscant during the War of the Ring. The Jedi Frodo Baggins and Eowyn entered the rancor arena while pursuing Separatist agent Raice Liq, and Eowyn was forced to fight Old One-Eye. Baggins resolved the situation by calming Old One-Eye with the Force, allowing the Jedi to use the rancor in apprehending their quarry.
==Biography==
Old One-Eye was a brown-skinned rancor who lived during the War of the Ring, a galactic conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the war, Jedi Knight Frodo Baggins and his Padawan, Eowyn, went undercover at an illegal rancor fight featuring Old-One Eye on the galactic capital planet of Coruscant, about eighty kilometers away from the Senate Building. They aimed to stop Raice Liq, a Muun who used the fights to transfer Republic munitions data to the Separatists.
The fight pitted Old One-Eye against another rancor with six-to-one odds in favor of Old One-Eye. Eowyn fell into the arena during the match and had to fight Old One-Eye and the other rancor, and Baggins quickly joined the fight as well. Although the Jedi lightsabers had no effect on the rancors' tough hides, Baggins was able to calm the beasts through the Force. Before calling Captain Rex of the 501st Legion to bring transports and additional clone troopers to assist in arresting the 200 law-breaking gamblers, Eowyn mounted Old One-Eye while Baggins mounted the other rancor to go after Liq. After the arrival of the clones, the Jedi approached Liq on rancors and arrested him.
