Talk:List of Star Wars creatures

Thranta
I think that some of the info on the thranta actually regards the aiwha. The aiwha being the flying whales the Kaminoans ride. Check the databank at the official site to get some stuff cleared up...--FigmentJedi 02:10, 9 May 2005 (UTC) there are no such things as courascanti ogers that wander the lower levels of courascant. I have the new essential guide to alien species and it mentions that they do "not" wander the lower levels of modern courascant. however before courascant was first discovered by humans they wandered the wilds of courascant. if you have any questions about starships, planets,the Sith, weapons and technology, or force powers do not hesitate to ask me, though I may not answer right away.

Added K'lor Slugs
I added K'lor Slugs to the article, i have very little info on them (I dont play that much) but felt it had to be added anyways

Talz
Should we add the Talz or not? I mean, we have Twi'lek and Zabrak, which are sentient, so should we add Talz, who are the Wookies of Hoth?

As a result, anyone who intends to split a section out of this page should be aware that, as of 7 August 2005, the following sections were linked to from the following pages:


 * Dewback: Tatooine, List of changes in Star Wars re-releases, Sandtroopers

Krayt Dragon
Heya,

I changed a small part in the section about the Krayt Dragon. The Krayt Dragon's first video game appearance was in Star Wars: Dark Forces where Jabba the Hutt threw Kyle Katarn for his "favorite pet" after capturing him in Nar Shaddaa. This was repeated in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter by Gardulla the Hutt with Jango Fett as a Dragon-snack.

Greets, -Maverick Hunter Styx 14:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It's called krayt dragon. - Sikon 16:18, 30 January 2006 (UTC)


 * D'ôh! Sorry.
 * -Maverick Hunter Styx 07:43, 31 January 2006 (UTC)


 * The creature that appears in the game Dark Forces is NOT a krayt dragon. It is the similar but much smaller kell dragon.  I made mention of this on the discussion page when the krayt dragon had its own seperate article.  The first official video game appearance of the krayt dragon should be in Star Wars: Galaxies as was correctly cited on the original krayt dragon page.  Please fix this article.


 * And my appologies again, I will try to fix it ASAP, but I don't know anything about Star Wars Galaxies, and nothing of Star Wars bounty hunter, so I'll fix it as far as my knowledge goes. I'd like some help from you guys to correct my stupid mistake.


 * I'm, again, sorry for disturbing this article with half information based on my bad memory.
 * -Maverick Hunter Styx 08:04, 6 February 2006 (UTC)


 * A Krayt dragon apperas in Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic(the part on the Tatooine desert) wich, if I'm not mistaken, is older than Galaxies Admvenom

Removed from Sarlacc section
I removed the following from the Sarlacc section because it is almost completely nonsensical and I couldn't make enough out of it to fix it.


 * This doesn't happen quickly for a Stormtrooper's dewback was the first thing Carkoon's dart pod was hit, it was pulled off when the Stormtrooper payed to take care of it for the night. Sarlaccs can grow VERY rapidly from this state.

Major cleanup completed
I've gone through this entire article and cleaned every listing up, pretty much. Now, the only thing I'd like to do to this article is add some pictures interspersed through it; but I don't know where to get them from. Anyone have any suggestions? –Dvandersluis 12:40, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Dude, damn good job on all that. Not sure where to get pics on everything except from the films (not possible for some), but I at least wanted to let you know you'd done a good job. EVula 14:49, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks! :) –Dvandersluis 15:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Good work with the cleanup; it'll keep the list afloat until we create a general encyclopedic article on Star Wars creatures, in which case we can split a couple of these if they warrent their own article. &mdash; Deckill e r 17:04, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Guidelines for adding new creatures
As I just finished cleaning up this (very long) article, I figured I'd give a quick list of the guidelines I went by in order for people adding new creatures to the list to be able to keep them in the same style as everything should be now. Please feel free to dispute my suggestions (if you've got a better one ;), or to add on. –Dvandersluis 22:46, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Ensure that there isn't already an entry for the creature you want to add, or that there isn't another in a (slightly) different name. If the names are significantly varied, create a "See ___" entry pointing to the existing one (for instance, Mutated rats).
 * 2) Creatures are obviously separated by letter, and also organized alphabetically within a section. Add new entries to the right place! :)
 * 3) Each creature's write-up should have the creature's name in the first sentence, bolded (but only the first time).
 * 4) Creature names are only capitalized if a word within them is a proper noun. In sentences, the creature names are generally lowercased (think: horses or Horses?). Creatures with proper names as part of their names are like Mustafar lava fleas.
 * 5) Write the entry in present tense, not past tense. While Star Wars events happened a "long, long time ago," it is current in that it exists now.

Linked planets
I've gone through all the planets mentioned in this article, and added a brief write-up in the appropriate List of Star Wars planets page, if not already there. There are four planets I could not find information for, however:
 * Hethar (referenced in List of Star Wars creatures)
 * Relkass (List of Star Wars creatures)
 * Poiu-Trewq (List of Star Wars creatures)
 * Wyndigal II (List of Star Wars creatures)

If anyone knows anything about those planets, please add them to the appropriate page! –Dvandersluis 17:59, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Creature miniarticles
There should not be two paragraph entries on Star Wars creatures; such entries should be placed within this list and compressed. Obviously, creatures like Rancors and even Banthas should probably be given their own articles (with OUT OF UNIVERSE priority), but Eopies and such don't merit their own entries on a general interest, out of universe source like Wikipedia. &mdash; Deckill e r 23:59, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Dewback incorrect
Geonosians used Orrays, not dewbacks, as mounts in the arena. --Logan Felipe 21:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Judge me by my size do you?
Tauntauns are 2.5 m (7.0 ft) tall bipeds 2.5 m is actually about 8 ft 4 in. I'd edit but I don't know which is right. http://www.starwars.com/databank/creature/tauntaun/ says 2 m tall at the shoulder, I guess in the film I'd say they look probably 2-2.5 m in total, which is no help because 7ft is 2.125 m. I'll leave this with the experts. MrAngy 16:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

What the heck is ?
The article was filled with 18 instances of someone's attempt at formatting a citation using the "ref name" multiple citation tag. Specifically, the tag. FYI, in order to use that tag, the first instance of it has to specify the exact source (whether it's a book, website, etc.) in between the brackets. Only in subsequent uses of that same source can you merely use the ref name tag. But whoever left this tag in there never did this. The result was a "no text citation error" listed where Source #1 should've been in the References section. I replaced these bad tags with citation tags. If anyone knows what "CotG" is, please write out the source in its first use in the article, and then replace the other 17 instances with this "CotG" tag. Thanks.

 * Creatures of the Galaxy. West End Games. ISBN 0-87431-221-3. Fixed. – Quadell (talk) (random) 16:26, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Foub
A new user, User:Arumadura, added the listing for Foub, citing Creatures of the Galaxy. There's no information online about this creature. Arumadura's only other contribution was vandalism, so I suspect he made the foub up. Does anyone have access to "Creatures of the Galaxy", and can you confirm whether it lists the foub? – Quadell (talk) (random) 16:26, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Since Wookiepedia doesn't list the foub, I'm removing it. If I'm wrong, let me know. – Quadell (talk) (random) 16:28, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I have "Creatures of the Galaxy," and there is no Foub. 153.2.246.32 (talk) 07:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

How Important Is It?
The edit about womp rats and Family Guy doesn't seem to be very relevant. If we put EVERY outside reference to EVERY one of these creatures, the article would probably be twice as long as it already is, and it's been under heavy debate already because it's too long. Not only that, but Family Guy targets referencing movies and the media, and it's pretty poorly written, too. Now I'm fairly new to the whole 'what goes on the wiki' thing (I have some outer experience from hrwiki.org, which is actually pretty similar to wikipedia) so I'm not absolutely sure on this seemingly extremely simple problem. Should I just delete it, because it seems to fit a lot the basic criteria for deletion. Iron Maiden7 (talk) 02:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Metric height
metric height is usually given in centimeters. it looks weird to see "stands at 1 meter tall". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.173.240.130 (talk) 17:53, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Lolwut? Where did you get this idea from? It's a perfectly normal expression.--24.203.221.17 (talk) 17:24, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Banthas
cant someone shorten this one more so people actually want to read it. dejv (talk) 03:00, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Neek
Look, I understand that having a page for neek in an encyclopedia, is not approved of. We need a disabiguation page which says something like: A neek can refer to: A nerd, who is also a geek A fictional species in the Starwars series.

I mean, do we redirrect the word Nerd to "If I Ran the Zoo" or the word geek to idiot, because in shakespears time it meant that? No, we use what the word means now, and now it mean nerd and geek. 94.195.20.56 (talk) 17:04, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I'm going to edit this now, this is riduculous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.195.20.56 (talk) 22:12, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Aiwha
They "fly 60 to 90."

60 to 90 what? Speed? Altitude?

Where the heck does all of this come from????
The majority of the entries on this list have no citations.

Star Wars Legends Creatures?
At the top of the article, it is posted that "To be listed here, creatures must be noted in multiple canonical sources." Nearly 1/2 of the creatures listed in this article are only found in Legends sources. Shouldn't they be noted as such, removed from the page, or given a page of their own? It would be good if we could clarify that these are not all canonical.

List of the non-canon creatures in this article: Asyyyriak, Aquatic Gundark, Bandara, Barri, Bergruutfa, Blaise tree goat, Blenjeel Sand Worm, Blistmok, Boga, Bouncer, Bursa, Cannok, Cherfer, Chiilak, Clawbird, Coruscani ogre, Cracian thumper, Croator, Cthon, Cy'een, Dashta eels, Danchaf, Derkolo, Draagax, Drexl, Dweebit, Fabools, Fenner's Rock, Fern bicker, Firaxan shark, Forntarch, Furnocs, Galoomps, Ganjuko, Garto, Garrals, Glim worm, Goffbird (Titavian), Gorog, Graiveh, Graul, Grazer, Great oopik, Greysor, Grotseth, Gualamas, Gullipuds, Hanadak, Hoska, Howlers, Hssiss, Iriazes, Jyykle vulture, Kalaks, Kell dragon, Kimogila, Kkryytch, K'lor Slugs, Koriena, Krakanas, Kybuck, Kyren, Laigreks, Loper, Malia, Mandalorians (In the Star Wars Canon, are a predominantly human ethnolinguistic cultural group, not a unique species), Minstyngar, Mogo, Mouf, Mutriok, Mygeetoan yaks, Night Beast, Nudj, Orbalisk, Oslet, Pagen, Peko peko, Pharple, Profoggs, Pug jumper, Rainbow gem, Rakghoul, Ro-roo, Rong boars, Sand Creatures, Scyk, Shell Spider, Sketto, Slivilith, Snarb, Staga, Storm beast, Stratt, Suubatar, Tach, Talortai, Taozin, Tatooine Howler, Terecon, Tesfli piercer, Thernbee, Thevaxan marauder, Torton, Tolibs, Tra'cor, Treppok, Tunnel snakes, Ubeba, Ugja, Uller, Umgullian blob, Unark, Urusai, Vesp, Vornskr, Vyps, Wamba, Wandrella, Webweaver, Woodoo, Wraid, Wyrwulves, Yeltz, Yeomet, Yog, Yorik coral, Zuxu.

Subspecies
It might help clean up the article if subspecies were listed under their species, rather than as a seperate entry. For example Greater Krayt Dragon and Canyon Krayt Dragon should be simply be listed as subspecies under Krayt Dragon.

Thanks, and may the Force be with you.
