dengar

Dengar is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, a human bounty hunter who operates as a member of the Bounty Hunters Guild. He first appears in the 1980 film The Empire Strikes Back as part of the group of bounty hunters hired by Darth Vader to locate the Millennium Falcon. Dengar is depicted as experienced and tenacious, often described as ruthless and resourceful, with skills in tracking and combat.

In terms of design, Dengar is typically shown wearing a heavily armored suit and distinctive headgear, sometimes with bandages or a helmet that conceals his face. Over the years, his backstory and equipment have been elaborated in various Star Wars media, including comics and animated series, with variations between the films’ canon and the broader Expanded Universe; in Disney-era canon, he remains a recurring but less central figure among bounty hunters.

Dengar is one of several well-known bounty hunters in Star Wars, frequently associated with other guild members such as Bossk and Boba Fett in depictions of the bounty-hunting profession. The character contributes to the galaxy’s portrayal of law enforcement by reward, illustrating the mix of skill and ruthlessness that characterizes much of the bounty hunting profession in the Star Wars universe.

Note: Dengar also exists as a Malay/Indonesian word meaning to hear or listen, unrelated to the Star Wars character.
