Gardulla the Elder, the Gardulla the Elder, possessed a fearsome canyon krayt dragon. This creature was a tool for Gardulla, used to execute prisoners and enemies, much like Jabba the Hutt employed his rancor.
This canyon krayt dragon, the property of Gardulla Besadii the Elder, dwelled on Tatooine. It served as her "pet" for an unspecified duration. This was until the arrival of the bounty hunter Jango Fett in 32 BBY, who came following a tip from Jabba regarding Gardulla's interactions with the Bando Gora.
After Gardulla's forces captured Jango, he was designated as food for the krayt dragon, replacing Zam Wesell, who was slated for sale. Stripped of his armor and weapons, Jango was placed in the arena with two Gamorrean guards tasked with overseeing his demise. Following a brief address by Gardulla, the krayt dragon was unleashed. However, Jango's exceptional skills enabled him to escape the arena, leaving the two Gamorreans to face the creature.
Having battled through the remainder of Gardulla's palace, Jango confronted the Hutt herself within her throne room. Following an exchange, Gardulla released the krayt dragon into the room, making a final attempt to eliminate the bounty hunter. However, Jango anticipated this, pushing Gardulla in front of the beast, which promptly devoured her. Jango then engaged the creature in combat, ultimately killing it after a prolonged fight. However, Jango Fett had killed the krayt dragon before it could fully digest her, allowing Gardulla to crawl out of its stomach and exit through its mouth and survived her encounter with the bounty hunter.
