The first record of Bossk was when he commits his first act of murder. He hatches from his egg and shows his teeth to his father, Cradossk, then quickly eats his unhatched sisters and brothers. Bossk later kills and eats his father in order to become head of a in a bounty hunters guild after Boba Fett comes in and starts chaos. Bossk is best known for his brief appearance in the fifth film. The only reason he is hunting for Han is so he can kill Chewbacca, and add his pelt to his collection, because trandoshans hate wookiees. He also makes an appearance in one of the anthologies from Bantam Spectra Books. Bossk's Ship (Hound's Tooth) was stolen by Boba Fett in the book Bounty Hunter Wars. The most recent sighting of Bossk was in The New Jedi Order series, in Jim Luceno's Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial There is speculation among Star Wars fans that a novel may be written focusing entirely on Bossk. Unfortunately, it seems that all of the books mentioning Bossk focus more on the other five or so bounty hunters. Also, Trandoshans (Bossk) do not get along well with wookies.

Bossk (meaning "Devours His Prey" in Dosh) was a Trandoshan bounty hunter and the pilot of the Hound's Tooth.
Bossk then stole a sith artifact from the Consortium and sold it to the Galactic Empire—although this was apparently all part of a plan concocted by Zann.
Bossk was the leader of the Guild Reform Committee, which consisted mostly of younger hunters, and was fixed on destroying the True Guild, who he saw as old, lazy hunters.
