Hammertails are herbivorous, four-legged dinosaurs.[3]
Description[]
They are heavily armored, with a bony shell covering the back and sides. Protruding from this shell are a number of spikes, acting as a defensive barrier to attacking predators. The hammertail's wide, flat armored head juts from the hammertail's body. On the other side, a heavy tail with a club-like end is used to defend the hammertail from attackers. Because of its armored nature, the hammertail can live comfortably in a multitude of environments, from forests to humid marshes to dry grasslands. Hammertails are 25 to 35 feet (7.6 to 11 meters) in length, stand approximately 4.5 feet (1.4 meters) tall, and are about 7 to 8 feet (2.1 to 2.4 meters) wide.[3]
Behavior[]
Hammertails are herbivores, and do not hunt. They will defend themselves when attacked, using their club tail. They will also frequently travel in packs, giving themselves more protection in numbers. If a hammertail is attacked and outpowered, it will attempt to flee, trying to trample its attackers as it escapes. Hammertails, like other dinosaurs, track by scent and possess both low-light vision and darkvision.[3]
