Sci-Fi Animal Pelts

The Tauntaun Skin Rug Lets You Decorate Your Home in Skywalker Style

— June 20, 2013 — Art & Design
"Epic" is the only way to describe the tauntaun skin rug. For those who are unfamiliar with the tauntaun, it is the alien animal that Luke Skywalker rides in Episode V. Luke's tauntaun ends up dying, and the enterprising Jedi cuts its belly open and sleeps inside of it for warmth. Yeah, it's gross.

That grossness hasn't stopped fans from loving the tauntaun. That love led Autumn Massey to dream up the idea of a tauntaun skin rug. Malaki Keller decided to make that dream a reality, and the result is the awesome faux skin you see here. Not much is know about this work of art, but what we do know is that it's head is 1:1, which means that there's a good chance the tauntan skin rug can cover your living room floor and then some.
