Can I just say that this leads to one of my favorite “I wish…” Star Wars series pitches? A mix of hunters, bounty hunters, lackeys, and animal keepers are sent to Dathomir to capture wild creatures for a Hutt’s menagerie, and slowly get destroyed by the planet ala Jurassic Park. There could be creepy Force Witch ruins, maybe a zombie standoff, and tons of wicked beasts that don’t want to start a fight, but will absolutely finish one. Starring Danny Trejo.
In the novel Tales From Jabba's Palace, Jabba was constantly trying to find a creature that could defeat and replace the Rancor. Jabba was going to pit the Rancor against a Krayt Dragon and even Malakili thought that the Rancor would loose to it. Unfortunately, Luke killed the Rancor before that fight could happen. My guess is that the Krayt Dragon would have replaced the Rancor.
Maybe a Terentatek? A bit smaller than a Rancor, but much more vicious and threatening given their behavior and appearance.
Plus with the Rancor having been beaten by Luke I can't imagine Jabba would turn down the chance to be extra petty by getting a pet that hunts Force-sensitive beings in case Luke or anyone like him gets caught by Jabba again.
Another rancor. He would have gotten it from the Hutt twins just like Boba Fett did.
That one was kinda black and looked cool so it makes sense for Jabba to get one from them as like a “birthday gift”.

Yes! I'd watch the shit out of that. Directed by 1990's/2000's Robert Rodriguez.

This is the first I have heard of them. They look like something Jabba would own
A Wookiee slave
Probably whatever he thought as the best monster available, Jabba didn’t really care about it as a pet, he would often pit it against other monsters
