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.

She had virtually inhaled the rations bar. Her pale fingernails plucked out a few last crumbs from the wrappings. "Give me some answers," said Dengar, "and you can have another one." She crumpled the foil into a shining ball inside her small fist. I'm getting soft, thought Dengar. There had been a time when he wouldn't have bothered asking questions. He wouldn't have lowered the blaster, either, until there had been a corpse lying in front of him, with a hole burned through its brain. That was what letting himself fall in love - not with this female, but with his betrothed, Manaroo - had done for him. That was always a fatal mistake for a bounty hunter. Somebody like Boba Fett survived at this game for as long as he had by stripping those useless emotions out of his heart. To look at Fett, even when he was unconscious on the pallet in the other chamber, was to look at a weapon, an assault rifle fully primed and charged for maximum destruction. Peel away that Mandalorian battle armor of his, and something equally hard and deadly was found beneath. And that, Dengar knew, was the difference - one of them, at least - between himself and the galaxy's most feared bounty hunter. There was still something human inside Dengar, despite his having worked the bounty-hunter trade, with all its spirit-eroding capabilities. That was the part that had looked upon Manaroo, and had decided, despite all the rest of his scrabbling, callused nature, to twine his fate with hers. Manaroo had asked him to marry her, and he had said yes; that human part had wanted to stay human, like a dwindling flame that struggles to keep from being snuffed out. He didn't want to wind up like Boba Fett, a killing machine with a blind, unfathomable mask for a face.

You see, this ugly son of a bitch (Dengar) is fucking a super hot chick. And basically... You are fucking stupid.

[pensamentos-de-droides]

speaking of Legends tales of the bounty hunters i think its SO fucking funny that Boba tried to kill Dengar(for Jabba mostly)(and fucks him over multiple other times), and Dengar survived and his girlfriend Manaroo found him and now they plan on getting married, so good for them! then Boba got thrown in the sarlacc pit and he crawls out on his own but hes probably dying in the tatooine desert in the shape hes in and alone, but then dengar and manaroo find him and they help him right, but they dont know its boba bc hes both unmasked and horribly burnt from the acid n stuff. But then boba later says something he said earlier to dengar and dengar immediately gets it and hes like "ILL KILL YOU" bc this man has fucked him over multiple times before, and he projects han solo onto him which just makes him want to kill him more, and then manaroo walks in and splits them up so dengar calms down and boba stole dengar's gun but he just hands it over to him again bc . well he does owe him . for saving his life . then Dengar's like "hey man . want to be the best man at me and Manaroo's wedding?" and Boba's like "sure"

Manaroo isn’t even surprised at this point. She knows her boyfriend is a failguy. Presumably, she finds it endearing on some level.

The beauty of writing something set in the Star Wars universe is no one can prove that “descent spice wine” is a typo and not a spice wine varietal.

When Valance finds out Han Solo is in trouble, he teams up with Dengar to help. Up against Crimson Dawn, the Hutts, and the Empire itself, Valance is dead set on repaying his debt to Solo! Ethan Sacks has been crushing it with the Bounty Hunters series so far. Along with Paolo Villaneli’s art has definitely made this one of my favorite series. The arc is no holds barred and don’t worry. Valance…

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.

The light on his face dimmed; the differential in temperature was enough that he could just make out the blurred edges of shadow falling upon him. He wondered what new vision his agony-fractured brain was about to conjure up. There were others, he knew, here in the belly of the beast; he had seen them fall and be swallowed up. A little company, the dying man decided. He might as well hallucinate voices, from those about to be digested; it would help pass the long endless hours before his own body's atoms floated free from one another. One of the voices he heard was his own. "Help. . . ." "What happened?" He could almost have laughed, if any twitch of his raw muscles hadn't hurt so much, pushing him toward unconscious oblivion. Shouldn't hallucinations know these things? "Sarlacc . . . swallowed me." The words seemed to come of their own volition. "I killed it . . . blew it up. . . ." He heard another voice, a female's. "He's dying." The man's voice spoke again, in hushed tones. "Manaroo-do you know who this is?" "I don't care. Help me get him inside." The female's shadow fell across him. Suddenly he felt himself rising, dirt and grit falling from his mangled form. The next sensation was that of being thrown across someone's broad shoulder, an arm encircling his waist to steady him. A sense of shame filled the dying man. There had been so many times when he had faced his own extinction-painful or otherwise-the contemplation of his death, and the dismissal of it as being of no concern, had given him strength. And now some weak part of him had summoned up this pitiful fantasy of rescue. Better to die, he thought, than to fear dying. "Hang on," came the hallucinated voice. "I'll get you someplace safe." The man called Boba Fett felt the jostle of the other's footsteps, the motion of being carried across the stony ground. For a moment his vision cleared, the blindness dissipating enough that he could see his own hand flopping limp and disjointed, leaving a trail of spattered blood on the sand. . . . That was when he knew that what he saw and felt was real. And that he was still alive.
