Well, I just had an epiphany. I know why Kreetles are the scourge of all Rangers. We all know that it is possible to walk amongst the Rancors of Dathomir, and they cannot smell us. We can hide our natural scents from virtually every animal in the Galaxy... except the Kreetle.

In a previous thread, Fodder and myself were discussing Kreetles, and Fodder mentioned that it was the heat that made these little buggers so angry with us.

That got me thinking...

I remember from my high school science classes that smells travel farther, and quicker in heated air than in cold air, since the air molecules are moving faster when heated (Brownian Motion). Tatooine is a very hot planet, so the air molecules MUST be moving quickly.

Kreetles live on Tatooine. It is hot on Tatooine. Hot Kreetles equal Angry Kreetles. Angry Kreetles want to kill stuff because they are so angry.

so:

Angry Sun-Scorched Kreetles + Quick Moving Smells in Hot Air + Nearby Ranger = Kreetle smells Ranger.

So by the use of simple scientific principals, I have finally solve the mystery.

Ranger is not a profession. It's a lifestyle.

FOOTNOTE:

Here is a footnote to my theory in case anyone asks why other aggro creatures on Tatooine don't smell you.

If you lived in a shell, like Kreetles do, 24/7, wouldn't you be pretty angry too if you were stuck on a sand covered rock like Tatooine? I know i would.

It's an interesting theory, I'll grant you, but it assumes that kreetles 'smell' molecules moving through the air with noses like most other creatures are wont to do. WRONG! Lacking noses, the kreetles 'smell' by sensing minute vibrations in the sand which are then conducted through the specially-adapted carapace and redirected, in a process which can be likened to reverse echolocation, back toward the original source of the vibrations, i.e., Rangers.

Oh, and they're psychic.
