Description
The avudi is one of the cursorial ceratopsians that have a long history in the known world. This clade is descended from basal coronosaurs. Although their ancestors were robust low-browsers, these animals became excellent sprinters and endurance runners while fleeing the tyrants. During the later part of the dynasty of the tyrants, this clade found success as mountaineers, adapting their cursorial anatomy into becoming agile leapers and developing strong digits. This is also when they developed forward-facing eyes. After the dynastic extinction, these mountain-dwellers returned to their cursorial roots, leading to the avudi and their immediate kin, which have spread beyond the known world. These animals have adaptable diets, mostly preferring bark, tubers, berries, and leaves, but during the dry season, as much as 80% of their diet is carrion and small game. With thick hides, aggressive temperaments, impressive speeds, a bone-crushing beak, and barbed quills on their backs, these generally solitary animals enjoy a life with no regular predators.
