The Bomodons represented a sentient species originating from the planet Bomodon, which was situated within the Churba sector of the Mid Rim. During the year 0 BBY, several Bomodon bounty hunters were observed on Tatooine by Greedo, a Rodian bounty hunter, as they made their way into Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina located in Mos Eisley.
Tom and Martha Veitch conceived the Bomodons for their short story, "A Hunter's Fate: Greedo's Tale," which Bantam Spectra released in 1995 as part of the Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina collection. The aforementioned story was subsequently adapted into the webstrip A Hunter's Fate: Greedo's Tale; however, the cantina scenes do not depict any unidentifiable alien species in the background. Their homeworld was established in The Essential Atlas, which Del Rey published in 2009.
