Dactillions

Related to the varactyl, dactillions are reptavians native to Utapau. Unlike the varactyl, however, they are equipped with wings and are much skinnier. Dactillions used to prey on the Utapauns until they were subdued with fresh meat supplied by the natives from a less destructive source. Now, the short, pink Utai serve as wranglers for the dragonmounts (varactyls and dactillions). The average wingspan of this species is almost 80 feet, and they are around 20 feet tall. During the Battle of Utapau the dactillions served as war mounts for the Pau'ans. Only when food supply is low in the sinkholes, or when a dactillion is seeking a mate, will they venture out to the surface of the planet.
