The Karkarodons were a species of sentient, shark-like aquatics native to the planet Karkaris. Some, like Riff Tamson, supported the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars.
Biology[]
Karkarodons had tall bodies with webbed hands and feet that are specialized for swimming. Their shark-like heads had pointed noses, slits, and many rows of razor-sharp teeth, the latter of which are used to savagely rip their enemies to shreds.
Some Karkarodons had blue skin with a white underbelly, while other individuals may also have white skin and sport brown and beige spots.
History[]
In 21 BBY, during the Clone Wars, Separatist Commander Riff Tamson led the Confederacy during the Battle of Mon Cala against the Mon Calamari and the Quarren. Later, another unidentified Karkarodon was shown at the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center who provoked Rako Hardeen (Obi-Wan Kenobi in disguise) and got his hand stabbed with a fork.
Notes[]
- Their name derives from Carcharodon, the genus of the great white shark, which this species is based on.
