ILM CLASSIC IMAGE: SIDESHOW WAMPA!

A rare side angle view of the legendary beast of Hoth-the fearsome Wampa, newly created in late 1979 by Phil Tippett at ILM to replace the unconvincing shots of the "snow shark", originally constructed by Stuart Freeborn and his team, previously filmed at Norway and Elstree earlier in the year, for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.
