What we know about Dantooine comes from the Expanded Universe. It is a pleasant world of grasslands, rivers and lakes, very much like the savanna of Africa.

A Jedi training enclave established by Master Vodo-Siosk Baas was in operation on Dantooine during the Great Sith War. After Darth Revan was captured by the Jedi, the Dantooine Jedi Council decided to give Revan a new personality — one of a simple Republic soldier — and use him as a weapon against his former apprentice, Darth Malak. Revan was eventually retrained in the ways of the Jedi; when, together with Bastila Shan, a Padawan assigned by the Council to watch him, they discovered the incomplete Star Map, the Council told them to investigate planets shown on it — namely, Tatooine, Kashyyyk, Manaan and Korriban — and find other Star Maps.

Kath hound

Kath hounds are creatures indigenous to the planet. They are about the size of a large dog or small horse. They are generally not very hostile unless provoked. When Darth Revan was being retrained as a Jedi, one of the tasks Dantooine's Jedi academy council ordered him to complete was to remove a dark side taint, which has made the Kath hounds more violent. There is also a larger variation of the Kath hound called a horned Kath hound, which has two horns very much like oxen, in that they are fairly broad and curve more sharply toward the tip.
