The conclusion of the second episode of the third season of The Mandalorian shows us Din’s Redemptive Bath. The bounty hunter thinks that by entering the underground waters of the Mandalore mines, he will get make amends for breaking the rules of the Mandalorian Way. Well, despite reaching his goal, while submerged, he becomes unconscious and Bo-Katan has to enter the lake to save him. When she gets to him and tries to drag him to the surface, she runs into a creature that shouldn’t exist, one of the legendary mythosaurs.
What are the mythosaurs in The Mandalorian?
- If you’ve paid attention to the series and Star Wars in general, you probably already know what I’m talking about.
- Son of Los Mythosaurios the creatures that Mandalore’s emblem shape is based on.
- These titanic monsters roamed the planet and could become the size of a small town.
- Primitive Mandalorians hunted them to prove their strength and valor.
- Due to these practices, they began to be fewer and fewer until They disappeared and were thought to be extinct..
The Armory Prophecy and the Future of Mandalore
In Boba Fett’s Bookspecifically in its fifth episode, the armorer tells Din an ancient prophecy Mandalorians: “Songs of eons past predicted that the Mythosaur would rise to usher in a new era of Mandalore”. Despite the fact that she herself states that she does not believe this legend, it is interesting that she mentioned it for no apparent reason.
In my opinion, the authors wouldn’t have included this reference if it wasn’t relevant, so most likely let’s see how the prophecy materializes throughout the season. The Mandalorians may have given up hope of reclaiming their former glory, but the appearance of the mythosaur and the dark saber seems to point in another direction. It is not yet known if the resurgence of Mandalore will come from the hand of Din or if, on the contrary, it will be Bo-Katan who will lead them.
