"I know a great castle on Takodana that makes the best Bloody Rancors in the galaxy."

«Where's the bone for my Bloody Rancor?»

―Oga Garra angrily demands a bone garnish in Huttese^[1]

A Bloody Rancor was a beverage that was dark brown in color and was served in a short glass with an edible bone-shaped garnish on top. The drink, which shared its name with the rancor species, was alcoholic and suitable for human,^[1] Latero,^[2] and Wookiee consumption.^[3] At Oga's Cantina on the Outer Rim planet Batuu, the bar's proprietor, Oga Garra, served the drink on a coaster that read "Bloody Rancor" and "imported from Tatooine"^[1]—a planet^[4]—in Aurebesh, alongside a depiction of a rancor. Also served at Oga's was a variation on the Bloody Rancor called the Angry Bloody Rancor.^[1]

History[]

Bloody Rancors were available to patrons of a castle on^[2] the planet^[4] Takodana, which the Latero captain Greez Dritus praised as the best in the galaxy to the Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis^[2] in 14 BBY.^[5] It was also served at Oga's Cantina in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu sometime during the war between the First Order and the Resistance.^[1] In 34 ABY,^[6] the Wookiee N'arrghela drank a Bloody Rancor in the cantina and picked her teeth with the bone from her drink.^[3] The same year,^[7] Garra had a Bloody Rancor that was missing the bone garnish on top, which she angrily demanded to know the location of from her workers.^[8] The historian Eloc Throno included a photo of a Bloody Rancor in his book—Traveler's Guide to Batuu—in a section detailing his recommendations for Batuu newcomers visiting Oga's Cantina, which was published^[4] in 34 ABY.^[9]
