Description War Pig: At the size of seven rhinos, War Pigs are derived from ceratopsids, specifically Styracosaurus, they usually live alone in the dense woods and forest of the island. The characteristic bony frill of his ancestors seems to have merged with his neck and back, forming a hardened bony layer reinforced with sharp spines, its true neck is underneath this structure. Each plate that covers its skin, each osteoderm and each thorn and horn is reinforced with mineral and metalic elements that the creature is able to consume and incorporate into its body, making the War Pig an extremely difficult beast to kill, but what makes it even more dangerous for predators is the fact that its an omnivorous species, even preferring vegetations and rocks, so an alleged predator can be seen as prey, it will kill the attacker with its main horn (capable of traversing a steel wall) and will not hesitate to devour the body with his powerful beak. They are aggressive in defending their territory from which they only go out to find and bring a partner to form monogamous pairs, in the dispute for females, males can severely injure their opponent. Male are larger, females lay 3 to 5 eggs for a lifetime, chicks are much more exposed and be easily be caught by sneaky predators, so they are rigorouly and aggressively guarded by their parents through infancy, until they are mature, when they are expelled from the territory by their parents and set out on their own journey. They have a small population thanks to their low reproduction rate.
