  • 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]

  • 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] Its name means "Pestle Tail", referring to how, if the spikes were removed, it would resemble a pestle. The carapace was firmly anchored to the pelvis but loose around the shoulder. Its front bore an additional smaller dome. This has been interpreted as a fat-filled space, similar to a camel's hump, which would have stored energy for the dry season and cushioned blows of the tail of rival animals.[4] Fossils of D. clavicaudatus are found in North America and South America, especially the Ensenada Formation in Argentina. Given the late date of its disappearance, it was encountered and probably also hunted by the first human settlers of South America.

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. For a normally peaceful herbivore, Doedicurus is a very frightening animal. It will occasionally stop to roar, possibly to scare away any potential predators. The animal's call is a very loud roar, similar to the roar of a modern-day bear. Doedicurus is dangerous if wounded, and will attack the hunter by charging (at a very slow pace) and swinging its huge, spiked tail in self-defesnse. This is hardly a problem, however, as the Doedicurus is so slow it can easily be outrun. If a Doedicurus actually manages to catch up to a hunter, it will kill the hunter by clubbing him/her with its massive tail.
