Bonegnawer
a flying predator native to Tatooine, the bonegnawer was a large, colorful bird with a beak structure that could crush stone over time. This trait allowed the bonegnawer to dig into the sandstone and root out cliffborer worms and large rodents. Large specimens of bonegnawers have been documented as bringing down young banthas as prey, using their powerful beaks and ferocious, diving attacks to cut the tendons of the bantha's legs in order to hobble it. Because of their abilities and their beauty, bonegnawers were symbols of power, courage, and strength to Sandpeople and other natives of the planet.
