After being hinted at in Season 3 of *The Mandalorian*, *Star Wars* has now unveiled the first full glimpse of a live-action Mythosaur, offering a tantalizing preview of future developments. The Mythosaur has long been an emblem of the Mandalorian culture, famously depicted on Boba Fett’s armor in *The Empire Strikes Back*. These creatures hold immense significance for the Mandalorian people, as their legendary ability to tame such formidable beasts helped elevate the Mandalorians’ reputation. Today, the Mythosaurs’ importance is more pronounced than ever.

Star Wars' Mandalorian Timeline & History Explained
A new *Star Wars* Topps trading card, shared by CobaltGreen1138 on Twitter/X, showcases the first complete view of a live-action Mythosaur. This detailed image expands significantly on the brief glimpses offered in Season 3 of *The Mandalorian*, which only revealed parts of the creature, like its eye, scales, and curved horns. This illustration breathes life into the Mythosaur, making it one of the most dragon-like creatures *Star Wars* has ever realized. With its sharp teeth, raised spikes, and an iconic head shape that mirrors the Mythosaur symbol, the creature is truly deserving of the excitement it has generated.
The Mythosaur: Crucial to the Mandalorian’s Destiny
Its Presence Will Realize an Ancient Prophecy
As explained by the Armorer in *The Book of Boba Fett*, the Mythosaur is central to a Mandalorian prophecy now unfolding before our eyes. The Armorer foretold of a “Mythosaur rising to signal a new era for Mandalore,” a prophecy that began to manifest just before the Mandalorians reclaimed their homeworld from the Imperial Remnant, specifically Moff Gideon’s forces. With Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze playing pivotal roles in this event and in awakening the Mythosaur beneath the Living Waters, it’s clear this prophecy is destined to come to fruition in the years ahead.
The Mandalorian's Prophecy Is The Key To Star Wars' Future
Adding another dimension to the narrative is Grogu’s own bond with the Mythosaur, briefly highlighted at the end of Season 3 of *The Mandalorian*. As a Force-sensitive being, it’s not unusual for Grogu to connect with all life forms, yet neither he nor Din was aware of the Mythosaur residing beneath the Living Waters. Grogu’s ability to connect with the Mythosaur without prior knowledge, and the creature’s acknowledgment of him, may foreshadow Grogu’s potential role in taming the mighty beast in the future.
Regardless, this prophecy is central to all forthcoming narratives from *The Mandalorian*, including the anticipated *The Mandalorian & Grogu* movie. With the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the machinations of the Imperial Shadow Council sparking a new galactic conflict, Mandalore stands at the epicenter. It wouldn’t be surprising for the Mythosaur to rise and defend its homeland, thereby fulfilling the prophecy shared by the Armorer. This first full look at *The Mandalorian*’s Mythosaur seems to only further hint at this destined future.
The Mandalorian
- Fantasy
- Sci-Fi
The Mandalorian is set after the Empire's fall and before the First Order's emergence in the ever-growing Star Wars universe. The series follows the travails of a lone gunfighter named Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic. Acting as the first live-action Star Wars series, The Mandalorian has become incredibly popular on Disney+, partly due to Mando’s relationship with Grogu, which the internet dubbed “Baby Yoda” upon his introduction in season 1.
