Similar to the Ankylosaurus for protection, it is one of the most armored animals on the island, being able to keep itself safe from packs of Sabertooths. But this size should not hinder its capability in battle, due to its thick outer shell and spike covered, club-like tail, the Doedicurus can be a tough target for even the larger animals on the island. Similar to an armadillo in appearance, the size of the Doedicurus is fairly small, being about 3–4 meters long and 1–2 meters high. When set to wander, the Doedicurus will autonomously gather stone from nearby rocks until it reaches 50% weight. Once tamed, the Doedicurus can curl up into a ball while being ridden and roll forward. They uncurl after regenerating enough health to feel safe, and there is the possibility for a player to find themselves being chased by a vengeful Doedicurus unless they can get out of the creature's territory quick enough or simply make it lose interest.Ī Doedicurus will only roll into a protected shell once it has lost 2/3 of its health. After taking a significant amount of damage they will roll into a protected shell, which reduces the damage they receive significantly. In case their quarry gets raided, Doedicurus-riders have a very difficult-to-kill mount!ĭoedicurus is a defensive creature that will attack when provoked. In addition, its affinity for rocks has allowed it to carry stone at a reduced weight.

Its spiked tail is ideal for quickly shattering the large rocks, so Doedicurus is a very efficient quarry worker.

Against larger predators, however, it pulls its tail underneath itself to form a solid armored ball that is nearly impossible for creatures to pierce, from which it can actually 'roll' away to relative safety! Domesticatedĭoedicurus is a highly prized work animal on the island. Against smaller foes, it generally uses its spiked tail to inflict as much damage as possible. Large and well-armored, it has a supply of fat under its plates to keep it warm and fed in the cold.ĭoedicurus has adapted well to the dangers of the Island, perhaps even better than the Ankylosaurus.ĭoedicurus has two very different reactions to predators. Doedicurus custosaxum is one of the Island's non-aggressive herbivores, generally found in the mountains and grasslands.
