Legend

this immense beast was native to the wilderness of the planet Belgaroth. The body of the droidbreaker, which was originally called the swamphulk, stood about five meters in height, and resembled a heavily-muscled rhinocerous. The huge, triangular head of the droidbreaker was protected by a thick plate of bony and armor-like scales. Its eyes were recessed into the skull for protection. The nose of a droidbreaker was also plated with armor, and their long tongues were extremely tough and prehensile. They earned their name from the fact that they consumed refined metals and plastics as easily as they devoured organic matter, preferring the circuitry and wiring of droids. Droidbreakers were also attracted to power sources, and could sense fluctuations in power at distances of up to 200 meters. Despite the high metal content of the droidbreaker's diet, many races found that the flesh of the droidbreaker was quite tasty, especially if ferrous-based foods were required.
