The Apceros are herbivores and the evolutionary cousins of the Aptonoth.
Overview[]
They resemble the dinosaur Ankylosaurus and have thick armor plates on their heads and backs. They have evolved spiked club-like tails for defense. Apceros are territorial monsters and will attack any intruder on sight, unlike the more docile Aptonoth. Their hard shell and thick skin protect them from heat. Normally, they can only be found in hot areas like Deserts and Volcanos. They won't give up fighting until the enemy has fallen or they are dead. Usually, they attack by headbutting and whipping foes with their spiked tails.
