Kestodon are Herbivores first introduced in Monster Hunter: World.

Physiology

Kestodon heavily resemble the Pachycephalosaurus, a dinosaur famous for its unique-looking skull. Male Kestodon are bright orange in color and have a large head crest for headbutting rivals, whereas females are bronze in color and lack the head crest found in males.

Behavior

Kestodon are an aggressive species that will turn hostile once spotted. Females will alert the pack of danger, while the males will violently charge would-be threats. They immediately become hostile when approached closely, but will not attack other monsters.

Habitat

Kestodon are known for living in arid places, like the Wildspire Waste and the Sandy Plains. They can also be found in the Ancient Forest and the Citadel.
