Mudhorns were large, horned, non-sentient creatures whose main habitat was the desert. Mudhorns had grey skin, brown wool, brown eyes, a horn, and spikes along their backs.[1] Small hairless mudhorns only had grey skin and a horn.[5]

The mudhorn was an extremely territorial creature by nature and it was considered hard to domesticate them; only expert handlers were able to do it.[1] By 3626 BBY,[6] mudhorns had been domesticated and used as riding animals[1] and pet companions.[5] Juvenile mudhorns were known as "mudpups."[7]

Behind the scenes

Mudhorns first appeared in the Star Wars Legends continuity as a purchasable mount in the Onslaught expansion of BioWare's 2011 massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Star Wars: The Old Republic,[1] specifically Update 6.1.4 released in 2020.[8] The mudhorn was originally introduced in the new canon continuity in[9] the second episode of the first season[10] of the television series The Mandalorian, "Chapter 2: The Child,"[9] which aired on November 15, 2019.[10]

A promotional picture for the "Desert Mudhorn Mount" item on the game's official website features an individual with Mandalorian armor riding a mudhorn in the deserts of the planet Tatooine.[8]
