A dune-cow was a type of animal. During the secret development of the All Terrain Armored Transport walker by the Galactic Empire on the planet Zaloriis, a story circulated about a Zalorian male who had reportedly encountered a wheezing fifty-foot dune-cow with giant tusks and a gray reptilian hide. The tale amused an Imperial counter-intelligence network, and the AT-AT prototype at Camp Culroon on Zaloriis was rechristened as the "Dune Cow."[1]
Behind the scenes
The dune-cow was first mentioned in the DataBank entry for Zaloriis in the 2001 LucasArts video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.[1]
