Legend

this giant creature, native to the planet Naboo, resembled a reptile but was technically an amphibian. The fambaa was herbivorous and even-tempered by nature, but was fearsome in its appearance. They have been domesticated by the land-dwelling Gungans as a pack animal, and can carry huge loads such as the immense shield generators used to protect Gungan warriors. Before the Gungans moved to dwellings beneath the water, there were no wild fambaas on Naboo. However, in their haste to escape the notice of the Naboo, the Gungans abandoned small groups of fambaa, which eventually established their own packs. Young fambaa was hatched in eggs, and were born with feathery gills that allowed them to live in the water before emerging onto land.
