i've done tattooing my whole life
there's no such thing as an abandoned
store like pit
there is if you eat the sarlacc welcome
to watch mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10 star wars monsters
time general what the hell is this thing
i have no
idea but it's big
[Music]
for this list we'll be looking at the
most impressive fearsome and iconic
monsters in the star wars universe
what's your favorite star wars beast let
us know in the comments
number 10 rathtar star wars episode vii
the force awakens
[Applause]
hailing from a swampy planet with a
toxic atmosphere
these carnivorous cephalopods are best
described by han
solo they're big and they're dangerous a
grotesque
seething massive tentacles and teeth
they're actually distantly related to
the sarlacc
as seen when they stalk the corridors of
the aravana
they're incredibly fast and dangerous
using their tentacles to whip forwards
to capture prey
in the comics darth maul manages to take
on several with just an
axe but we can't say we'd recommend such
a risky endeavor
they're pack hunters so when you find
one it likely won't be alone
[Music]
number nine brainworm star wars the
clone wars
if there's one thing we clones know
it's how to stop a jedi quite a few of
the monsters in the star wars universe
seem like they come straight out of a
horror movie
one of the most disturbing is the brain
worm from the planet geonosis
these parasites enter the body of
potential hosts through the nose
and take control of their minds they're
even able to animate the dead
the geonosian queen karina the great
tried to use them to take control of
anakin and
your obi-wan friend
while she failed one worm did later
manage to possess
jedi padawan berasoffi varys no
fortunately they do have a weakness the
cold no matter the temperature though
they're bound to make you shiver number
eight
aclay star wars episode 2 attack of the
clones
while they don't look it these ferocious
crustaceans are
actually amphibious spending much of
their time underwater
using an organ under their chins they
can sense electrical energy
allowing them to locate and spear prey
a couple of them were taken from their
native planet vendaxa
to geonosis to be used as executioners
in the petrinaki arena
i've got a bad feeling about this
they're not the only terrifying monsters
in the arena
where we also see the rhinoceros like
reek and feline nexu
both make for formidable foes but it's
the aclay who really stands out
thanks to its six legs grappling hands
and razor sharp teeth
[Music]
number seven ice spiders the mandalorian
arachnophobes we don't blame you if you
skip this one
as babies these six-legged creepy
crawlies are already terrifying enough
scuttling across the floor of their icy
caverns on maldo-crees but as adults
they're in a new category entirely
aggressively territorial with eight long
legs to catch you with
their heads actually dangle down from
the middle of their bodies
ending in large round mouths full of
teeth
they recall the crikena on avalon in
star wars rebels
do you think it's aggressive i'm not
waiting to find out both were based on
the same ralph mcquarrie concept art for
a knobby white spider
originally intended for the empire
strikes back however it's the ice
spiders we're still having nightmares
about
you just can't help yourself with the
egg eating can you grosgu
number six the zillow beast star wars
the clone wars
we've seen some pretty giant monsters
now but this beast
puts them to shame from the forest
planet malistaire
the semi-sentient reptilian zillow beast
is over 300 feet long
and weighs 60 thousand metric tons
[Applause]
even so in star wars the clone wars
palpatine somehow thought it was a good
idea
to bring one to coruscant for study the
creature's subsequent rampage is
essentially star wars take on godzilla
and king kong
while it was eventually killed it left a
trail of destruction in its wake
the zillow beast was so powerful it was
revered as a god by the benathi
up until kylo ren killed it number five
gorog star wars the force unleashed ii
what the hell is this thing
i have no idea what it's being as we're
including
legends monsters here there's no way we
could leave out this behemoth
anything big enough to crush a rancor in
one hand is worthy enough to make the
list
players face off against this beast in
the gladiatorial arena on
cato nemoidia in the force unleashed two
and it's no simple battle the gorog
breaks free of its restraints and brings
down the entire arena
which is suspended high up in the air
again giant monsters in precarious
places
not a good idea the whole arena crumbles
and falls
as does the gorog but not before
starkiller drops right through it with
lightsabers ignited
[Music]
number 4 wampa star wars episode 5
the empire strikes back
if you ever find yourself upside down
and facing a wampa on hoth
hey it could happen it would be a good
time to start
panicking living in icy caves wampa are
carnivorous
mammals who can weigh over 400 pounds
the white furred bigfoot is a dangerous
enemy even for a force wielder
granted luke wasn't a fully trained jedi
at the time of his capture by the beast
but it still
luke skywalker we're talking about here
the wampa is a hulking monster
but somehow able to move quickly despite
its stature
its fur blends into the snowy backdrop
making it a
dangerous hunter
number three crate dragon the
mandalorian
these reptiles from tatooine will make
any tuscan raider run for their lives
they're actually divided into two
species
the canyon crate dragon and the even
larger greater krait dragon
the former appeared in the video game
knights of the old republic
it was small potatoes though next to the
greater krait dragon
that reared its giant head in the
mandalorian not only can it swallow its
prey whole
it can spew acidic venom and burrow into
the sand
we're not sure if the dragon's highly
sought after pearl is worth all that
trouble
number two sarlacc star wars episode six
return of the jedi victims of the
almighty sarlacc
his excellency hopes that you will die
honorably
the sarlacc on tatooine was once
believed to have killed legendary bounty
hunter
boba fett
thankfully boba fett survived but that
perception helped solidify the sarlacc
status as one of star wars most
terrifying monsters
inhabiting the great pit of carcoon in
tatooine's dune sea
this creature was fed prisoners for
jabba the hutt's twisted amusement
sarlaccs inject their victims with
painful and
paralyzing neurotoxins before slowly
digesting them
young sarlaccs are actually relatively
small and fast
but upon reaching maturity at 30 000
years old
they burrow down 100 meters into the
sand and become sedentary
looking into the depths of its tentacled
beaked mouth
is enough to give anyone goosebumps
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
sando aqua monster star wars episode 1
the phantom menace
always a bigger fish indeed
there's always a bigger fish mr think
we're going back now
nidak star wars jedi fallen order
daphamerian predators that make
fierce foes
dianoga star wars episode 4 a new hope
these cephalopods will make you think
twice about sliding down a garbage chute
[Music]
furnock star wars rebels they only live
in darkness
one with the force one with the force
and one with the force chyrodactyl star
wars jedi
fall in order because it's basically a
giant terrifying bat

number one porgs star wars episode 8
the last jedi sure these furry cuties
might look adorable
on the outside but you know what
yeah we're just kidding let's move on to
the real number one
number one rancor star wars episode 6
return of the jedi
these semi-sentient reptilians are
actually native to dathomir
but they were first introduced to fans
through the formidable specimen that
jabba kept in his pit on tatooine
fun fact this rancor's name is actually
patissa
it was described by creature designer
phil tippett as quote
a cross between a bear and a potato
watching the scene in which luke battles
this monster is impressive by today's
standards
so imagine what it was like seeing it in
the 80s we get that no one
mostly actually chooses to live on
tatooine but seriously
krait dragons sarlax and a rancor no
wonder luke wanted to leave
