Geocache Description:

B13: Geo-Rebel Alliance: Krayt Dragon

The theme for the 2013 Blitz is go BIG!

This is a little cache dedicated to a BIG creature. They don't get much bigger than this.



The krayt dragon was a large carnivorous reptile native to the planet Tatooine. Krayt dragons grew continuously throughout their lives to an average length of 45 meters and weight of 20,000 kilograms. They could live to be 100 years old and did not weaken appreciably with age. One way to determine the age of a Krayt Dragon is by counting the rings on its horns, like a tree. Krayt Dragons start to grow horns at about 20 years old.

A fierce hunter, the krayt dragon became an important part of indigenous cultures on Tatooine. The krayt dragon was thought by some xenobiologists to have descended from the Duinuogwuin (also known as Star Dragons). Although no substantial evidence was offered in support of a connection to the Duinuogwuin, the krayt dragon was a proven relative of the smaller kell dragon. In honor of the beast's sheer power and ferocity, the Jedi Order named the Shien and Djem So form of lightsaber combat "The Way of the Krayt Dragon."

The krayt dragon had a set of sharp teeth used for capturing prey, but relied on ingesting stones to grind the food through a series of gizzards into a digestible state. Food would be crushed by the stones tumbled in the gizzards by stomach muscles, grinding food into pulp and turning boulders into smooth stones. The resulting stones, known as dragon pearls, were a valuable commodity among jewelers. The pearls could also be shaped and tuned by Jedi to be used as focusing crystals in their lightsabers. Krayt dragons instinctively go to the Krayt Graveyard when they are about to die.
