MORE KRAYT'S CLAW STUFFF!!

The Claw have very varied diets, and despite being bounty hunters they can be surprisingly picky eaters. This is something of a problem, because none of them can really cook. Boba likes spicy food and sweet treats, product of his Mandalorian upbringing. Bossk almost exclusively eats meat, while Embo is a strict vegetarian. Latts and Dengar both enjoy high quality meals, though the latter also appreciates junk food. Highsinger eats nightmares.

Some jobs require a designated getaway driver, and it's always a mess deciding who it's going to be, especially when Embo isn't around. Dengar and Latts specifically fight over it a lot, since neither wants to wait at the speeder while everyone else has all the fun. Usually it's Dengar driving, but he gets his payback by covering Latts in soot with conveniently mistimed detonations.

Only Highsinger can understand the Hound's Tooth's computer. This wouldn't be a problem, were it not for the fact that no one but Boba seems to be able to understand Highsinger. This typically leads to a strange game of broken telephone between the group, think the scene in Hot Fuzz with the old man and the weapons shed.

At one point during his rebellious teen phase, Boba tried to convince each member of the Claw individually to sneak him a drink. The more straight-laced like Bossk, Highsinger and Embo just told him no, but Latts and Dengar (who else) trolled their boss a little bit with totally legitimate alcoholic drinks trust them bro.

The Claw once came across an elderly hunter who immediately recognized Bossk as "Cradossk's boy" and brought up some rather embarrassing stories of the once-rookie hunter. No one lets him live it down.

One particularly boring day, Bossk gave a scalping workshop in the safehouse, for shits and giggles. Latts was understandably horrified, Dengar amused, Boba took to it with gusto, Highsinger was apathetic and Embo surprised everyone by showing Bossk he already knew how to braid a scalp, sparking a small contest over who could do it better.

Embo once broke his mask after a nasty fall during one unlucky job. Kyuzo, if you weren't aware, require a specialized breathmask when off-world, and become incredibly sick without it. I now invite you to imagine a distressed bounty hunter syndicate, an even more distressed anooba and an absolutely delirious Kyuzo warrior all crammed together on a ship. Yeah. It was chaos.

When Dengar and Manaroo started getting serious, the entire Claw tried to help as wingmen for a date on Coruscant. Place emphasis on tried, as the disjointed jumble of advice (and some threats on Bossk's part) resulted in Dengar making a fool of himself. Manaroo found this endearing enough that they made it official.

While the Claw were away on a job, at the behest of a scorned Latts, Asajj Ventress broke into the safehouse and made an absolute mess of it. She smeared Bossk's pelts with bright paint, sabotaged Dengar's speeder, mixed up Highsinger's oil and topped it all off with a caricature of Boba Fett on the door for all to see. Besides Latts, Embo was spared the banshee's wrath on the account of her not really minding the big guy. To this day they don't know Latts was behind it, but Boba always thought she had something to do with it.

Highsinger once snuck up behind Latts and Dengar, threw his arms over their shoulders, leaned in and said in perfect basic, "They will never believe you" before walking away. He was right.

Assorted Krayt's Claw headcanons because I guess that's gonna be my niche now

How they formed:

Krayt's Claw was formed shortly after Boba Fett and Bossk broke out of the Republic Judiciary Detention Center. Feeling bitter about being left behind by Aurra Sing on Florrum and believing in strength in numbers, Boba pitched the idea to Bossk, who agreed to see what he could do with his contacts in the underworld. They first tried to sell the idea to fellow escapee Cad Bane, but he wasn't interested.

The first official member was Latts Razzi, who had fallen under hard times and needed some credits to afford her lavish lifestyle. At first she only considered signing on for a few jobs, but eventually decided to become a full-timer after warming up to the team.

Dengar joined shortly after. Already a successful bounty hunter during the Clone Wars, he saw something in the young Fett that convinced him this enterprise may be worth his while. He and Bossk knew each other from before, and kept a friendly rivalry of sorts going on. Dengar was only a part-timer however, as he was also an aspiring swoop racing champion.

C-21 Highsinger was the last to join the original ensemble. A prototype, one-of-a-kind Hunter-Killer, he went rogue and struck out on his own for motives unknown. One day Boba walked into their base with the towering droid in tow and introduced it as "Highsinger". No one knew how he had convinced that monster that sticking around would be worth its while, but they knew better than to ask questions.

Embo had been in talks to join the team for a while after being approached by Latts, but he only became an official member after Boba Fett vanquished Cad Bane during the last months of the war. He got along surprisingly well, and added a nice bit of street cred to the group.

Oked was only a hired goon brought in for the Quarxite job. He was not mourned nor missed.

Random shit I came up with:

Marrok, Embo's pet anooba, is the unofficial team mascot. Everyone finds themselves doting on the fluffy space dog, and even the impassible Highsinger allows it to rub against his leg. That being said, it has a habit of growling at Dengar whenever he says something stupid, which happens quite frequently.

Bossk's ship, the Hound's Tooth, was their only vehicle for some time. The first few rides were full of nothing but complaining about the smell and unfriendly atmosphere while the lizard silently seethed. It took a lot of convincing for Boba to finally agree to let them use the recently-reclaimed Slave I as their vehicle. Embo never flies with the group, instead using his personal transport, the Guillotine, for every mission. Just about everyone resents him for that fact.

Latts and Dengar are the fashionistas of the group, and tend to suggest outfit changes to the other hunters, a proposition that is rarely accepted. They occasionally rate their co-workers' choice in clothing; Embo has the best look by far, Boba's placing went up by a significant margin after he began sporting his father's Mandalorian armor, and Bossk has been the worst-dressed Trandoshan in Tatooine for a few consecutive years now.

Only Latts can wield her grappling boa scarf effectively, and at many points everyone has tried to employ it in some capacity at least once. None succeeded. How she does it is a mystery.

Dengar once introduced Manaroo, while the two were early into their relationship, to the rest of the team. The fact the poor Aruzan survived three hours of being intimidated by some of the galaxy's meanest-looking bounty hunters confirmed to Dengar that she was the one. They've been married happily since. I don't care what the sequels say.

During a mission to Coruscant, Highsinger inexplicably disappeared with no one knowing where he went. While the rest of the team wanted to leave him behind and get going, Boba demanded they at least try to look for him. He was eventually found at the Droid Spa, enjoying a relaxing oil bath as two beautiful androids scrubbed his joints clean of any grime. To say they were all pissed would be the understatement of the millennium.

After Boba regained his armor and bested Cad Bane in a duel, the following group dinner was filled with everyone taking turns to talk about how much they didn't like the blue cowboy. Whether they were trying to warm up to the new boss or maybe let loose some steam, no one knows.

Krayt's Claw eventually disbanded after Boba came of age and began taking solo jobs, though he remained in contact with most of the team and kept tabs on what they were up to. Nothing was known of Latts' whereabouts after she started her syndicate, however.
