Snow lizards were a kind of lizard that the predatory wampa species, which originated from the icy planet Hoth, would hunt for food and then consume.
Within the new Star Wars canon, the first reference to snow lizards occurred in Star Wars Workbook: 3rd Grade Math, a workbook from 2017 authored by both Claire Piddock and Megan Butler. The creatures are mentioned as part of a fictional mathematical question, where a wampa catches twelve ice rats along with sixteen snow lizards, and then divides them equally between seven other wampas. Snow lizards were originally part of the Star Wars Legends continuity; their initial mention was in the 1997 novel Planet of Twilight, penned by Barbara Hambly.
