Extinct (April 5th, 2020): Outcompeted by Megaslontus dencaneus

Evolved from M.acribrachium their spike shoulders shorten so they are able to run away faster from their predators(V. audioacrus and V. audiotigerus).

Found in zone B they grow up to 4feet long. They feed on L. tallalla, L.clearensis,saplings of U. dicaulis,saplings of U. firmumsus, saplings of U. stellafrons and saplings of U. sustensa. They graze on most of the grass vegetation. When provoke by a predator they will flee but when the predator catches up to them they would kick with their back legs to try to use their spikes on their heels to stab at their predator.

Their coloration sports a green coloration with the males having colorful rudders with bright green,yellow and red stripes but the females have duller rudders as a form of sexual dimorphism as they do not need pointy rudders to make themselves stand out.

When breeding they will mate and the female lays up to 15 soft eggs near trunks of trees and cover them up with foliage as camouflage and to keep the eggs moist so they do not dry out(this also makes it easier for the sexes to distinguish each other in a large herd. After 6 weeks each young will hatch and travel together in herds and will join the fist herd they come across for protection
