Day 990, Quasi-Quarantine: Grunting Our Way To Evil Builds With Our New Gamorrean

 

Ubiquitous for any "Star Wars" fan, the Gamorrean is a pig-like humanoid prized for their warrior mentality and fierce loyalty. 

These stubborn, unintelligent (hey, take it up with Wookieepedia!) creatures often were contracted as guards by crimelords like Jabba the Hutt and are recognizable as background scenery anywhere you find evil in the "Star Wars" galaxy.

Gamorreans are native to the Outer Rim planet Gamorr, where they align to clans. With a passion for violence, they often became mercenaries and enforcers, favoring melee weapons -- particularly Gamorrean battle-axes.

While Gamorreans do appear in Lego sets like Boba Fett's Throne Room, they are still relatively rare. We found this custom minifigure, which is well constructed and cleverly detailed, with a lone quibble of it not coming with a battle-axe (I'm snorting my disapproval).

As we build out our Tattooine mods, these Gamorreans will come in handy in building out evil forces and adding an air of malevolence to all of our builds.
