Legend

this huge creature was native to the deep oceans of the planet Naboo. It was an aquatic mammal which essentially resembled a fish, although it was feline in stature and moved on its hind legs. It had a long tail, and its blocky head was dominated by a wide maw filled with serrated teeth. They ware indiscriminant feeders, and had no natural enemies in the seas of Naboo. The largest specimens have been measured at 160 meters in length, but this was an estimate based mainly on remains. It was believed that the males, which were generally larger than the females, could attain lengths of up to 200 meters. The actual lifecycle of the sando was a mystery, as they were dangerous, although reclusive, predators. To most natives of the planet Naboo, the sando aqua monster was more of a myth than an actual creature, mainly because they had never been observed in the wild and reports of their washed-up corpses were rare and incredible. There have been reports of sando aqua monsters breaching the surface of the water to attack their prey, and have been known feed on fambaas and falumpasets as well as aquatic prey.
