Stars Wars Episode 5
The Empire Strikes Back

"Domesticated taunstauns are used by the Rebels on Hoth as transport and as pack animals. Their thick fur protects them from the elements, though even tauntauns cannot survive the nights without shelter." Star Wars Chronicles - Virgin.

We constructed two life size tauntauns for the film, one static and one anamatronic. Standing at twelve feet high, the anamatronic had to be ridden by the actors when shooting on location.
