Hover pram

Ahover pram, orhover-pram, was a hovering device used for transporting, providing protection and shieldingyounglings. The device was a valuable tool for guardians with children too young to protect themselves.^[1]

TheMandalorianbounty hunterDin Djarin foundGrogu inside a pram onArvala-7.^[2] When Grogu was attacked, first by bounty hunters and later by aMudhorn, Djarin was able to move the pram remotely to protect him.^[3] Djarin continued to use it to transport Grogu until handing him over tothe Client. When Djarin returned to rescue Grogu, he found the capsule discarded in a dumpster.^[4] Then decided to use it.

Returning to Arvala-7 to recruitKuiil, Djarin used ahovercrate to transport the child. On board theRazor Crest, Djarin asked Kuiil to pad the container so Grogu could sleep better, but theUgnaught offered instead to fabricate a better hovering pram himself. Kuiil's version retained the egg shape and closing cover of Grogu's original capsule, but was fashioned out of metal.^[5] Djarin used Kuiil's capsule to transport Grogu until it was ripped open byKoska Reeves so she could retrieve Grogu after saving him from amamacore.^[6]

Sometimes after, Grogu received a new spherical pram, and used it while visitingHigh MagistrateGreef Karga onNevarro.^[7]

Behind the scenes[]

A pram first appeared in thefirst episode of the2019Disney+ television seriesThe Mandalorian, which aired onNovember 12, 2019, and was directed byDave Filoni.^[2] After Filoni metJon Favreau, the creator of the show, he was trying to figure out interesting moments for the pitch of the series. While being on a plane he sketched the first drawing of the pram, which featured Grogu inside a pram with a floating ball and the Mandalorian looking at him. According to Filoni, that drawing sold the idea of the show. Concept art of the pram was later created byChristian Alzmann,Doug Chiang andRyan Church. The designers also considered keeping Grogu in a big hood instead, thinking that kids covered in big clothes look cuter, but they couldn't keep his ears in the hood. They also thought about making the pram a backpack to copy the effect of the hood, but decided against it, as they wanted theLone Wolf and Cub quality of the pram.^[8]
