Created by the Mercenary/Bounty Hunter Jarudoo Nein, this form of combat was conceptualized on the planet Hoth. While using a base he had constructed there, he took to conditioning his body in the icy winds of the snow-covered world. During this conditioning, he took note of the behavior of the Wampas, how they moved and fought. It was on this that he based his own fighting style, which he called Wampa Do (pronounced "doe": Literally translated, Way of the Wampa). Wampa Do utilizes incredible strength and constitution, and has no defensive moves whatsoever. It concentrates on inflicting untold amounts of damage, yet leaves the user open to damage himself. For this reason, only those of the utmost strength and conditioning are successful at it. If one has a high enough strength and conditioning, however, the results are devastating. Nein tested the style against actual Wampas, and was capable of defeating them with its strong, decisive blows. Many scars tell of those days of combat, yet its effectiveness is unarguable.

Stance

Most stances of this style mimic the animalistic stance of the Wampa. From crouches to barrel chested, dominant postures set to attack, the Wampa Do practitioner will almost always resemble the animal itself.

Striking

Heavy handed blows which batter and pound with almost no trace of elegance. The style is lost on the weak as they will be utterly non-effective should they attempt such a style.

Defense

Virtually no specific defense maneuvers which leaves the combatant frequently open. Those of low Constitution should not even attempt this style.
