right vantage point and brought it 
down with arrows aimed at careful 
locations. After bringing it down, I 
cut away the most edible cuts of 
meat, some of the osteoderms, and 
the spikes. Once home, I attached 
the osteoderms and spikes with 
osteoderms I had already 
obtained from Typothorax, and 
created a chestplate from the 
armor! The spikes I fixed to the 
shoulders of the armor make it 
wonderfully strange and sharp 
looking.

Although I selected the mountains 
as a home due to considering the 

dangers of flooding, they do 
present problems in their wildlife, 
namely, Placerias. They are 
relatives of the Ischigualastia to 
the south, with more prominent 
tusks and colorful fleshy faces. 
They are herding animals which 
prefer the uplands, and are quite 
dangerous, because of how readily 
they will attack a threat to any 
member of the group. Their strong 
beaks and bulk always make me 
worry about my body language in 
front of them. This is not helped 
by the fact that they sleep on 
random brief shifts throughout the 
day, so the herds are never 
wholly fast asleep. Because of 
them I have built my timber home 
on stilts to keep out of their way,
