Mandalorian Encyclopedia:Mandalorian Skull
Mandalorian Skull
The symbol of Mandalorians is a Mythosaurs skull.
Mythosaurs were
a species of animal native to the Outer
Rim world of Mandalore. Enormous in size, the mythosaurs dominated
their world until the arrival of the Mandalorian Taung, led by the
warrior known as Mandalore the First. In a campaign to conquer the world for
their own, Mandalore the First and his crusaders slaughtered the
gigantic beasts and drove them to extinction. The skull of the
mythosaur became the symbol of the Mand'alor—the traditional ruler
of all the Mandalorian clans—the planet Mandalore, and of the Mandalorians
themselves for generations after.
Though extinct, the mythosaur lived on as a legendary
figure in Mandalorian mythology. The skull of the mythosaur became a symbol
of Mandalore and its people, none more so than the Mand'alor—the
traditional ruler of the Mandalorian clans. Mandalorians referred to the
ceremonial crown possessed by the ruling Mand'alor as
the kyr'bes, or mythosaur skull. The Mandalorian starship company
known as Mandal Motors used the skull of the mythosaur as the
corporation's logo.It was also not uncommon for the symbol of a mythosaur skull
to be used as a sigil decorating Mandalorian armor and equipment, or even as
a tattoo. The calcified bones of the mythosaur were used to
construct Mythosaur axes, a ceremonial but deadly weapon used by the
Mandalorian Crusaders.
In the final weeks of the Galactic
Republic and the early days of its replacement, the Galactic Empire,
an enterprising Mandalorian sought to attract adventure tourists to
Mandalore to raise a profit. To accomplish his goal, he constructed a large
replica of a giant mythosaur skeleton—although its accuracy to scale was
debated—on the outskirts of Mandalore's capital city, Keldabe.
The Mandalorian's theme park never opened, however, though he, his
brother Hayar, and friend Jarkyc, were able to sell the
defunct tourist sight to the Imperial garrison that had come to
establish a base on Mandalore.The so-called "City of Bone" remained
on Mandalore for nearly twenty years, becoming the headquarters of the
Imperial slaver, the Suprema, during the Imperial occupation of
Mandalore, before being destroyed by Fenn Shysa's Mandalorian
Protectors.
