The Sando Aqua Monster is one of the most fearsome predators that populate the aquatic depths of the ocean planet Naboo, in the Star Wars universe. This semi-sentient beast is from the 'Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace' movie, where it is encountered by the protagonists in the waters of Naboo. Powerful and predatory, these monstrous aquatic beings are known for their strength, aggression, and immeasurable size, reaching up to 200 meters in length.
The Sando, as it's often referred to, possesses a muscular, streamlined body that allows it to glide through water with great speed and agility. Not to mention, its massive Jaws housing razor-sharp teeth that could easily devour even the largest aquatic creatures or underwater vehicles. On top of these physical traits, Sando Aqua Monsters are known to occasionally leave the water to hunt on land as well, showcasing their adaptability. They are recognized by their white scales, four-fingered claws, and the distinctive roar they emit when threatened or on the hunt.
Even though they're depicted as solitary hunters, Sandos are not endangered and are found in significant numbers in Naboo's seas. They don’t have many natural enemies due to their size and ferocity, the only notable exceptions being other giant aquatic creatures like Colo Claw Fish and Opee Sea Killers. The Sando Aqua Monsters, with their terrifying presence and deadly hunting skills, surely stand out as one of the colossal and monstrous creatures in the Star Wars universe.
