Legend

a carnivorous predator native to the swamps of Dagobah, the dragonsnake was a long, armored creature with sharp fangs and razor fins. These creatures moved about by using their wide tails, but also had a pair of long arms for grasping and digging. The dragonsnake usually waits in the swamps, floating like a log until some other creature wanders too close to the water's edge. It then lashes out with its fangs and fins, capturing its prey and dragging it into the water. Once it controls its prey, the dragonsnake holds it under the water, coiled in its long body, until the prey drowns. The dragonsnake has been known to attack and kill the massive swamp slugs that share the swamps with it. Note that the Star Wars Customizable Card Game: Dagobah claims that the dragonsnake is often mistaken for the swamp slug.
