电影



Found on the desert planet of Tatooine, the saurian ronto is a huge four-legged beast of burden. Locals, such as the native Jawas, use the ronto to haul cargo and passengers through the streets of port towns like Mos Espa and Mos Eisley. Though a towering 4.25 meters in height, rontos are nonetheless skittish and easily startled.
蜥形的龙驼生活在沙漠行星塔图因上，是巨大的四足役畜。在莫斯埃斯帕和莫斯艾斯利等港口城镇的街头，像贾瓦人这样的当地人用龙驼来运送货物和乘客。尽管是4.25米高的巨兽，龙驼还是很容易激动和受惊的。

Rontos are extremely loyal and easily domesticated. They develop deep bonds with their masters and their keen sense of smell serves as an early warning to riders of imminent dangers. Their size is such that only the largest of Tatooine's predators risk attacking them. Even Sand People keep their distance from rontos, though a hungry krayt dragon fears little from the gentle herbivore.
龙驼极其忠诚，很容易驯养。它们和主人之间会建立很深的纽带。它们敏锐的嗅觉能让骑手预警突如其来的危险。它们的体型导致只有最大的塔图因猛兽才敢攻击它们。甚至连沙民都跟龙驼保持距离，但一条饥饿的克雷特龙对这种温和的食草动物无所畏惧。

Rontos have poor eyesight and are easily startled by sudden movements. They also require a great deal of water, making them something of an expensive investment to a typical moisture farmer or trader. Rontos are well suited for the desert, though. Their skin easily sheds excess heat. The flap-like folds framing their broad faces also radiate heat, and wrap around to cover their small eyes during sandstorms.
龙驼视力很差，很容易因周围突如其来的动静而受惊。它们对水的需求量也很大，因此对普通湿气农场主或行商而言，龙驼是一笔昂贵的投资。然而，龙驼很适应沙漠。它们的皮肤很容易散发多余的热量。在它们宽大的脸两旁长着像翅膀一样的大耳朵。它们也能散热，还能在沙尘暴时遮住龙驼的小眼睛。

幕后



The rontos added into the Mos Eisley scenes for the Special Edition release of A New Hope are entirely computer-generated. It was a cousin of sorts to the digital models crafted for Jurassic Park; the ronto used a brachiosaur as a starting point with enough modification to make it distinctly Star Wars. Throughout the making of the sequence, the ILM animators referred to the otherwise nameless creature as a "bronto." When asked to name the animal, George Lucas dropped the 'b' from the name, and thus the ronto was christened.
加入《新的希望》特别发行版莫斯艾斯利场景的龙驼完全是计算机生成的。龙驼可以说是来源于为《侏罗纪公园》制作的数字模型；龙驼以腕龙为基础，加上足够的修改使之更像《星球大战》里的生物。在整个片段的制作过程中，工业光魔的动画师将这种无名生物称为“布龙驼”。当被问及怎样命名这种生物时，乔治·卢卡斯去掉了名字中的“布”，龙驼就这样被命名了。

新希望真是开创了好多新的生物
