Legend

this piscine being was a noted bounty hunter who operated during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Raptor was easily distinguished by the large gills that dominated his head, which was topped with wiry hair that looked like tiny horns. Raptor was part of an unlikely group that was put together by Magus to hunt down Talesan Fry, after the young boy discovered their plans to assassinate twenty galactic leaders at a conference on Rondai-2. Raptor entered the Ulta Center by diving into one of the many pools that covered the grounds, using his gills to breathe underwater as he worked his way inside the complex. Upon entering the Ulta Center, Raptor found that he had been followed by Qui-Gon Jinn. He tried to fire his rocket launcher at the Jedi Master, but Qui-Gon was able to outsmart the bounty hunter. The Jedi was able to momentarily confuse a rocket, causing it to target Raptor instead. Raptor was unable to move out of the way, and perished in the resulting explosion.
