Kestodon is a monster first introduced in Monster Hunter: World. They can be seen in small groups around the Ancient Forest and Wildspire Waste.
Physiology
Kestodon has an appearance similar to a Pachycephalosaurus. The male Kestodon are bright orange in color and have a large head crest, which is used for headbutting rivals. Female Kestodon are bronze in color though lack the head crest found in males.
Behavior
Kestodon are aggressive species that will turn hostile once spotted. Female Kestodon will alert the pack of danger, while the males will violently charge would-be threats. Their rushing charges can be blocked, however, leaving them open to attacks. They immediately become hostile when approached closely. They will not attack other monsters.
If the Intimidator skill is rank 3, Kestodon's will not engage you in battle. Males will still try to headbutt you.
