Ronto
a huge sauropod beast of burden, the ronto was actually a mammal which resembles a long-necked brontosaur. Its small head was crowned with two pair of ears and a knobbed, calloused dome. The smaller pair of ears gave the ronto excellent hearing in the high-frequency range, while the larger pair provided low-frequency hearing as well as body-heat dissipation. They have a keen sense of smell, which makes up for their poor eyesight. Many of them were transported to Tatooine, as they seemed to adapt well to the dry climates. A trader from Tatooine donated one to Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, to assist in repairing the Great Temple after the battle with the Shadow Academy.
