Kangadillo

The Kangadillo is an NPC that can be found in Barley. This NPC plays music like all NPCs, and can be found on the shelf of the mountain just above the ground.

Ecology
Kangadillo is based on a kangaroo and an armadillo. In Primordial, kangadillos come from very arid and dry places. Their plating is hard and spiked, and while they don't allow the wearer to curl into a shielded ball, they are hard and can prevent most bites from the more vital parts of their body. Underneath kangadillo's boney plates is a dense mash of fur, fat, blood and tissue. Water is stored here, along with excess fat to keep the kangadillo going in their harsh environment.

Kangadillos are extremely violent, and won't hold their punches and kicks against even their own young. If a kangadillo survives the punishment as a pup, they'll grow to be powerful predators. In groups, a female, often referred to as the matriarch, will rule over a familial group. Rarely do Kangadillo groups accept outsiders, and loners rarely wish to rejoin a group.

Kangadillo rarely hunt their kill, instead using a set of powerful flat teeth to break open bones and eat the marrow inside. Even aged bones with little marrow can be turned into calcium to strengthen their body plates. When little bone can be found, kangadillos hunt prey larger than them- Felis and even Parvus are possible prey to these vicious groups. The kill is often too large for the group to eat, but they carry it back home and bury it after eating what meat they could. Once the meat rots from the carcass, the bones are in prime condition for eating later.
