== Notes == | |||
* Drashig is an anagram of "dish-rag", because in order to focus the actor's attention during filming, they had hung a white dish rag from a pole and had the actors look at it while giving their lines to make it seem like they were looking at the Drashigs, which would be added in post-production. | |||
* Drashigs' heads were also created using the skulls of deceased dogs, but Colin Mapson clarified that for many years some people believed they had put down dogs to get the skulls when really they were donated by people with the skulls already taken after the animal was deceased. | |||
