There's a scene in Attack of the Clones where Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padme are captured on Geonosis and put in a coliseum-like arena to be brutally killed by three strange beasts. What the heck are they? Is there any mention anywhere in regards to what species they are or any other information about them at all? Anyone?

The arena beasts are the reek (the bull-like creature), the nexu (the cat-like thing) and the acklay (the green one).

The AotC visual dictionary has more information on them.

nice, thanks chilled monkey

The Reek was cool.....

No problem. Glad I could help.

Personally, I thought they were all pretty cool.

I liked the claw one *toc toc toc*

Rhino meant to be like rhino
Ackley meant be like a spider insect
Nexu meant be like a wild cat

I agree with Gollum. BTW I loved the Reek. That one rocked!

i loved the doom of the reek

I think the Nexu looks more like a big rat than a wild cat (mostly because of the tail).

Ackley was cool. How it made those weird noises , perfect

yah, I used to luv the nexu, but now i like the Acklay better.

The official SW website has all the info them, their background, their species, their homeworld.
