A voritor lizard was an aggressive, venomous reptilian creature commonly found on Dantooine.
The voritor lizard was a reptilian species native to Dantooine, although it could also be found on Dathomir.
The average voritor was two meters long, with a fan-like dorsal spike. The beast was a solitary hunter of the plains of Dantooine that moved slowly until they come in for the kill. When one decided to attack, it charged its target with incredible speed. Bols were its favorite preys. The voritor lizard was a venomous predator with tough hide resistant to blaster shots.
A race of voritor lizard, horned voritor, had pointed scales protecting its eyes and ears.

On Dathomir, wild voritors were tamed by Nightsister. Those Sisters of the Voritor used the beasts to guard the borders of the Nightsister territory.
In 1 ABY, Dusque Mistflier and Finn Darktrin were attacked by a voritor lizard on Dantooine. Dusque was forced to use a thermal detonator to kill the beast to save her life.
Following the Battle of Yavin, the Rodian hunter Qakkee tasked a spacer to kill six voritor lizards on Dantooine and brought him back their horns. Around the same time, the collector Jener Mich tasked a group of spacers to hunt and kill an unreasonable number of voritor lizards on Dantooine.

Voritor lizards appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.
In Star Wars Galaxies, all voritor variants, including the horned voritor, were exclusively present on the planet Dantooine. However, the The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia incorrectly stated that the horned voritor was native to Dathomir. The presence of voritor lizards on Dathomir was later validated in the reference book Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side.
