Brutalodon

Likely one of the strangest dinosaurs in the cataloged list. Of the dinosaurs on Te'za, this one takes the cake for the strangest bodily build. A powerful set of arms accompany this creature along with a long head that curves into a strange snout with a set of wide facing eyes. It looks more of a cross between a larger carnivore and herbivore than a simple grazer upon mountainsides. Despite it's gentle nature and larger gait, it packs a hell of a punch, and has...strange defense mechanisms against attackers, much more than simple claws or teeth, but brutal punches and brute force unmatched in most cases.
