Seconded.

Congratulations.

 

* Notices the changeling has just morphed to look like Scatman Crothers *
That's a good look for you, Saadi. Much better than MJ.

 

You changelings are... talented.

 

Belated congrats, @DarthIshyZ ! My apologies for not catching this sooner. Battling DRL’s new partner Darth Lowe’s has been...very annoying.

 

Darth Lowe's... My wife and I go there regularly. We love the recordings when people need help. Yet, we "misquote" it to "Frontal labotamy needed in the cranial area."

And, thanks!

 

Watch it now. I’m one of the smart ones behind the scenes in merchandising. One of the few smart ones.

 

My mom and I went there about a year ago for flowers for the beds out back. The young woman helping us was developmentally delayed, and her lack of helpful advice annoyed my mom to no end. She groused about it on the drive home, never mind the fact her autistic daughter was the one who went with her.

I'll just leave this here...

Friendly-ish reminder that your outstanding task deadline is tomorrow. Believe two of you have had... what? Over 2 months?

@Kaleesh-Cyborg , @Lady Belligerent , @Sinrebirth, @Darth_wanderguard

For my latest assignment, I had to choose the dark side creature of my choosing and discuss not only why I chose it, but also research into their in history, their origin, biology, etc. I settled on the rancor, not only because their name means inveterate hate but because dying at the hands of a whiny Jedi is not a glorious introduction. Especially when rancors have a glorious history serving Darksiders as war mounts as daunting to the enemy as Hannibal's war elephants were to the Roman legions.

Despite what was seen at Jabba's Palace in "Return on The Jedi", rancors are the GFFA's equivalent of Hannibal's war elephants. Originally, they evolved on Dathomir becoming apex predators in the jungle environment. Their berserker personalities made them popular with game hunters, and according to the Legends! tales, they were exported to Felucia by large game hunters. Writings from Legends! sources indicate that the sudden change in planetary climate led to a substantial evolutionary move away from aggressive personalities into something more docile. Not the sort of creature Dark-Side wielding Nightsisters would consider worthy of being used as war mounts.

From a biological standpoint, rancors straddle the line between reptile and mammal. Like mammals, they bear live young and carry them around for a period of two to three years when they are old enough to fend for themselves. Full grown, they stand at 16 feet in height, when newly hatched heights can vary from 6 to 9 feet. They can likewise be classified as reptiles because they are carnivores and they have scaly skin. On Earth, they would be considered an offshoot of therapods, or warm-blooded mammal-like reptiles who burrowed underground and were around towards the latter end of the Jurassic Age. It should also be noted that rancors are noted to occasionally eat their young, proving Darwinian evolution is alive and well on Dathomir.

From the historical perspective, Dathomirian witches have been using the rancors as war beasts for less than a millennium. After an exiled Jedi began teaching the locals how to use the Force, both Light and Dark Side wielders began using their powers to control the local wildlife, following the dictates of religion. Among their uses was taming the rancor via the Force and singing. Once rancors were bonded to a particular witch, they were used as war beasts. Rancors were seen as an extension of a user's Force powers, by bonding with these fierce creatures, the Nightsisters could not only protect their clans but also use the rancor's aggressive tendencies on whoever was seen as an enemy. Also, the symbiotic relationship between rancor and rider also held religious overtones, as said partnership demonstrated a balance between the duality of life and death.

As far as being used by the Sith, the rancor is a natural choice for use as a mount. First of all, evolution on a world strong with the Dark Side has led to naturally aggressive tendencies. Secondly, because they can be tamed by using the Dark Side, it is mutually beneficial to both Sith and rancor as both feed off of aggression and other base instincts. Ergo, if we Sith want a war mount that fits us and who we are, what better creature than the rancor?

 

@Nehru_Amidala
Very good work, my apprentice. Now tell us, if you were selecting a Rancor for your own personal use, what qualities would you seek in an ideal specimen?

 

Let me see. I would ramp up its height to 18 feet because if I used it for my daily commute down to Falls Church, I would be able to dominate morning traffic on US 29/Lee Highway. I would make its drool superheated so icy roads would no longer be a hindrance, and I would cut down its calorie intake to no more than 2 frozen turkeys a day to be satisfied. Also, I would up the maternal instinct so it would not gorge itself on my charges.

*scowls at Holonet broadcast* Combine a politician and the media and you get a buffet of bull and I’m not talking beef.

@Nehru_Amidala
I really like the idea of superheated drool. I might even pay you to run that Rancor up and down my driveway a few times. Also very clever making sure that your otherwise dangerous pet will do nothing to jeopardize your livelihood and such. Very good. +3 prestige.

 

Snow is finally letting up.
