==History==
Roggwarts were native to the Outer Rim planet Mustafar. The roggwarts was taken as trophies by the warlords of Kaleesh from the Bitthævrian homeworld of Guiteica. During the War of the Ring, General The Mouth of Sauron kept a pet roggwart named Gor as a guard in his castle on the third moon of Vassek. Gor was roughly the size of a rancor and had been enhanced by EV-A4-D with cybernetics including mechanical arms attached to the creature's back. Gor was released to attack the Elves Jedi Master Legolas, the Mon Calamari Jedi Knight Nahdar Vebb, and Clone Commander Fil. Though Fil was slain after Gor grabbed him with his tail and slammed him into the ground, the roggwart proved to be no match for Master Legolas, who used his lightsaber to kill the beast.
On Nar Shaddaa, Grakkus the Hutt ran arena fighting at his palace that, sometime after the Battle of Yavin, featured Kongo the Disembowler, who was advertised as the last of his kind.
