In Swtor you gain a trandoshan companion, when you give him gifts two of his lines are "it's kindness you show" or "shall keep" and this is upon receiving gifts he likes.

He was one of my favorites to play in the new Battlefront 2, the fact this dude squared off with so many badasses, and both worked and fought with Boba.

Very gentleman of him.

[@beastwarsFTW]

He is basically a priest in his religion.

[@OptimusMaximusNero]

*Fun fact:* Bossk's last appereance in Legends was during the Yuuzhan Vong War. Near the end of the conflict, he was already retired and also met Han in a space station, mocking Chewbacca's death in Solo's face. This caused a fight that ended with both men being sent to detention cells

Bossk was my first action figure in Christmas 1980, hadn’t even seen a single Star Wars yet, much less Empire. And I remember thinking he was some kind of alien space Christian or priest because his flight suit had a prominent black cross accent painted in front. Here’s to ya, Christian space lizard rev. Bossk.

[@killianasheart5175]

The fact that there is a species of Large Reptilian marauders, big and strong enough to square up to wookiees, and have a whole society based around the honor of hunting prey, is just plain awesome and why I they’re probably my favorite species in Star Wars. Also the ACP array gun in republic commando sounds amazing.

[@randomdude5993]

I've always liked trandoshans I feel like they are great mix between Predators and Vikings It's not something you see very often, especially in kid friendly franchises Lore, behavior, design - it's all just so unique and yet somehow still fitting sw universe

[@Chisszaru]

Trandoshans are way too underrated. Why can't we get more stuff with Trandos. Bossk is actually the best bounty hunter in my eyes. Sure, the Mandos are way better at it, but Trandos like Bossk looks way cooler and way scarier. Trandoshans actually look quite cute. That's just me though

[@6IM_]

Bossk raised bobba so I wouldn't say he is far off one of the best ones

[@blackmadalorian3126]

Also he is perfect for being a bounty hunter I mean his culture is literally hunting

[@oddlogg-01]

Yes i totally agree Trandoshans have been treated not the best in almost all Star Wars media mostly as dumb brutes who are easily beaten. Fingers crossed for Bossk in Book of Boba

[@kingagrabowska9366]

Plo Koon’s master was a Wookiee (Tyvokka) and his padawan was a Trandoshan. I wonder if his master and padawan ever met. How Plo Koon felt about it. Someone was trooling him or it was a lesson.

Since they would be taken at an early age, there would be no animosity b/n them.

[@concept5631]

​@@Eldor-117 That's a good point.

[@anthonyrodriguez8788]

Probably nothing. A wookie Jedi and a trandoshan Jedi don't really have any reason to dislike each other, the blood feud that exists between these two species is purely a cultural thing.

[@Gwagia]

The feud between them has probably been going on since their equivalent of our time now, if they are in the same system then they could send craft like we have now but armed.

[@FastTquick]

I wonder if the Sharpclaws from Star Fox were inspired by the Trandoshans.

[@AiluridaeAureus]

Man, they're discount Yautja, but they're way cooler in my opinion because they can't just fall back on "AND NOW I PULL OUT MY MAGIC FLYING DISK THAT CUTS EEEVERYTHING IN HALF OR BLOW MYSELF UP WITH THIS WRIST NUKE A AHAHAAAAHHAAAA!". No. They are interesting warriors because they actually have to fight you on _mostly_ equal ground.

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

I always figured that the Saurin came from Trandoshans who were kidnapped by Rakatans and genetically engineered to make a servant species: smaller, less hostile, and with greater dexterity.

[@penguinmaster7]

Trandoshans are my favorite race. I once tried making a trandoshan, but the name generator came up with the name "Poggo Darzehk", so i gave him the nickname "Poggers". Raised in unusually civil conditions for a young scaly boi, he eventually fell into a gang of illegal speeder racers. After a massive racer bust that resulted in him losing his speeder, he discovered podracing on an annual vacation to tatooine. After meeting with Clegg Holdfast at a mos espa cantina after the boonta eve classic, Poggo decided to become a podracer pilot, mostly because he missed the adrenaline of racing. a pure adrenaline junkie, his pod was custom-built out of the remains of a scrapped Titan 2150, with all safety mechanisms removed. When asked about why he removed all of the safety devices, he would simply laugh and say he doesn't need them. To get through sharp turns, he employs a special technique he calls "slip-cancel" to sling his podracer sideways at incredible speed, engaging the booster the moment he regains forward momentum. This technique, unseen in any other pilot, has even managed to take Sebulba by surprise on a few occasions, simply because nobody knows when or where he'll slide into the lead with his engines completely sideways, or zip by at top speed when his opponent is still accelerating from the turn. While he is a very dangerous opponent to tussle with on the track, he's far from evil due to his upbringing on coruscant, at worst being an abrasive jerk. as such, he records his races with cameras in his pod, and to date is the only racer to catch sebulba's cheating and live to tell the tale. Unfortunately, this really got to the Dug, who now has Poggo in his sights, and he is bent on revenge.

[@jinxedsphinx3600]

is this character created in the context of like a Star Wars D&D type of game or... Just curious! Very creative / interesting either way, though!!

[@penguinmaster7]

[@torgejh9189]

So you basically dreamt up a giant space lizard man, gave him a british nickname and made him invent pod drifting? You should really consider making this into a full story, I'm genuinely interested in what this character would get up to during the wars and all that.

[@penguinmaster7]

@@torgejh9189 i'm actually in the process of writing one. i've since made a few changes. his name has been changed to "Syh" (as in sigh), and instead of getting into podracing because of meeting clegg, he instead takes clegg's place by entering as a backup racer. this is when he first employs his pod-drifting, passing sebulba in the entrance to the arena, his pod just barely grazing Sebulba's. an impressive feat given just how big titan 2150 engines are (see Ratts Tyrell)

the trandoshans were always interesting to me, the thing i loved most was their faith: the score keeper technically keeps score in all things, so a trandoshan doesn't have to be a hunter to get a good score in their faith. they could be a doctor where their score is a number of patients they've helped, or anything else really.
