Banthas are large, furry creatures native to the desert planet of Tatooine in the Star Wars universe. They are known for their distinctive long horns and sturdy build, making them well-suited for the harsh desert environment. Banthas are often used as pack animals by the Tusken Raiders, who rely on them for transportation and carrying supplies. These creatures are herbivorous, primarily feeding on tough desert vegetation. Banthas are social animals, typically found in herds, and they communicate through a series of grunts and bellows. Their strong, resilient nature makes them an iconic part of the Star Wars lore, often seen alongside the Tusken Raiders in various media.
