  • Doedicurus was a prehistoric animal featured in Walking with Beasts.
  • The animal inhabited woodlands and grasslands and was herbivorous. Its name means "pestle tail", referring to the shape of the tail with the spikes removed. Given the late date of its disappearance, it was encountered and probably also hunted by the first human settlers of South America.
  • Doedicurs was an armadillo that got to the size of a small car, it lived in South America during the ice age.
  • thumb Además de estar protegido por un solidísimo caparazón tenía la cola armada por grandes puntas: una especie de maza muy parecida a la empleada por los caballeros medievales, con la que se defendía de sus enemigos. Medía 4 metros de longitud y 1 metro y medio de alto. Categoría:Mamíferos Categoría:Placentarios Categoría:Edentados Categoría:Armadillos Categoría:Fauna del Pleistoceno
  • The Doedicurus is a turtle-like mammal that appears Turok: Evolution. It makes appearances in Chapters 1 and 3 and also in the "Zoo" level.
  • The Doedicurus is an Glyptodont that appears in the expansion pack in Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals.
  • Doedicurus was updated on December 20, 2013 along with Andrewsarchus. It's release came as a surprise to players as there was no announcement about it being released. Doedicurus is a medium-sized herbivorous mammal. It is arguably the slowest mammal (or even the slowest animal) on FMM UV-32, as it waddles about at a very slow pace, even when fleeing. It is much slower than the other armored animal of the planet, Ankylosaurus. To compensate for its lack of mobility, Doedicurus can take several hits thanks to its armor plating. Because of this, Doedicurus becomes an easy target to anyone with a sniper rifle, especially if it's out in the open. Unlike the other mammals inhabiting the planet, Doedicurus can swim.
  • D. clavicaudatus inhabited woodlands and grasslands and was herbivorous. Its tail club was probably used in intraspecific conflict rather than defense against predators like Smilodon unlike the superficially similar club of the Ankylosaurs. For one thing, the latter use would have been difficult since the animal's field of vision was so limited that it would essentially have had to blindly thrash the tail club. In addition, carapaces have been found which show fractures that were produced by roughly the same amount of energy as could be produced by the tail muscles.[3]
