The species could spit an acidic substance from its mouth.
One of several species referred to as "krayt dragon" was a creature that had sixteen limbs ending in five clawed digits, a spiny tail, and a large head protected by bony armor. When threatened, it could also project a harmful ichor directly from its mouth, causing the organic tissues of the target to dissolve. Like other krayt dragons, it could develop pearls inside its gizzard, which were highly sought after by jewelers, artisans, and wealthy collectors.
Like their cousins the greater krayt dragon, that species submerged themselves in the shifting sand dunes and emerged to consume their prey. The dragon would also hibernate longer given sufficient sustenance to do so, and could allegedly sense the vibrations of a starship flying nearby.
The citizens of Mos Pelgo fought side by side with Tusken Raiders to eliminate the krayt.
A krayt dragon had eaten a sarlacc and taken up residence in its abandoned pit. Said dragon became a nuisance to a tribe of Tusken Raiders and the citizens of Mos Pelgo living nearby, often eating their livestock or damaging their equipment, and overall bearing a risk to their safety. This specimen was later killed by said Tusken Raiders and citizens, with the aid of Din Djarin and Cobb Vanth, though it had, in turn, sprayed and killed many of its assailants with its acid. The tribe of Tusken Raiders took much of its meat and its pearl. The ribs were incorporated into the structure of the Mos Pelgo saloon, and a group of Jawas adorned their sandcrawler with the dragon's skull.
