Legend

this immense Hutt was easily distinguished from the rest of his species by the fact that he lost the right side of his head in an accident involving a wandrella worm on Circarpous V. As an infant, Gargonn had ben abandoned on Nar Shaddaa, surviving only by performing tricks for passersby and feeding on any vermin he could lure close enough to catch. He eventually developed a small entertainment "business" on the Smuggler's Moon, hiring other performers and splitting their profits. His obsession with entertainment led Gargonn into the business of trafficking exotic and endangered plants and animals for wealthy collectors. It was Gargonn who discovered a way to sell mutant akk dogs, running them from his base deep in the bowels of Nar Shaddaa. Gargonn also operated a series of sentient gladiator events, in association with the Circus Horrificus. When the Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Depa Billaba discovered that the source of the akk dogs was Gargonn, the Hutt had them placed in the gladiator pit against the very dogs they were trying to rescue. Although the Jedi managed to escape, Gargonn also fled into obscurity. Note that this character is also referred to as Gargon.
