The Hebeosaurus torvus ("fierce blunt lizard") is a large, slow-moving, almost ankylosaur-like aetosaur from the jungles of Skull Island. They measure 18 feet long or 5.4 meters.
Facts[]
Hebeosaurus is slow-moving and myopic, but surprisingly difficult for Carvers to quickly kill. A thick neck and reinforced throat pipe make delivering a fatal bite harder than for most similar-sized prey.
Generally the large herbivores are brought down by pairs of Carvers acting together to subdue and maim. Hebeosaurus tend to die messily and slowly at the hands of a predator.
Hebeosaurus largely served the role as the island's cattle.
Trivia[]
- Aetosaurs were a family of proto-crocodilomorphs that were nearly all largely comprised of herbivorous specimens and were almost all armoured in scutes and spikes.
