Concerned both for his missing men and whatever may have attacked them as a looming threat to other Republic forces on Hoth, Gavon Kroan assigned a Republic agent to help the scouts. Although they failed to find Skywalker's one-armed attacker, they did encounter another wampa. Sometimes the males would spar with one another for a particular female's companionship. Wampa 'souvenirs' and even clothing made of wampa fur had been known to command high prices at galactic trading posts by the early years of the Galactic Civil War.
