8D8 was a Roche Hive 8D-series smelter droid, originally built for industrial ore-extraction work before being lobotomized and reprogrammed for cruelty. Standing 1.83 meters tall, he served in the droid torture chamber of the Hutt crime lord Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine, assisting the supervisor droid EV-9D9 in terrorizing the palace droid pool.
Deactivated after Jabba's death, 8D8 was later reactivated by the bounty hunter Boba Fett, whom he served as a majordomo, translator, and diplomatic assistant after Fett claimed the throne as Daimyo of Tatooine. He first appeared in Return of the Jedi and returned to live action in the series The Book of Boba Fett.
