Ankylosaurus

[Back to creatures]

Ankylosauruses are lumbering, quadrupedal dinosaurs with tough, armored hide on their backs and an enormous clubbed tail. They are known to have poor eyesight and are herbivorous animals, making a diet of tough roots, soft ferns, and other vegetation they can root out from the forest floor. They usually travel in small herds that rarely consist of more than two mating couples and their young. Ankylosauruses can be found virtually anywhere except the far north or south, where it is too cold for them to make a home. Some nations have figured out how to tame ankylosauruses, using them in their dinosaur cavalry to ward off kaijan or lay ruin to enemy fortifications during a siege.
