Comments:
Tauntauns have a thick layer of insulating fat and fur that help them adapt to the sub-zero temperature of the ice planet Hoth.
Difficulties in adapting their repulsorlift speeders to the frozen planet's conditions resulted in the Rebel Alliance domesticating the tauntaun. This proved to be an excellent source of alternate transportation for the Rebels during patrols.
While on scouting duty outside Echo Base, Luke Skywalker's mission was abruptly halted due to a savage attack by the wampa ice creature.
