Kestodon is a monster first introduced in Monster Hunter: World.
Physiology
Kestodons have an appearance similar to a Pachycephalosaurus. Male Kestodons are bright orange in color and have a large head crest, which is used for headbutting rivals. Female Kestodons are bronze in color though lack the head crest found in males.
Behavior
Kestodons are an aggressive species that will turn hostile once spotted. Females will alert the pack of danger, while the males will violently charge would-be threats. They immediately become hostile when approached closely, but will not attack other monsters.
If the Intimidator skill is rank 3, Kestodons will not engage you in battle. However, males will still try to headbutt the player.
Habitat
Kestodons are known for living in arid places, like the Wildspire Waste and Sandy Plains. They can also be found in the Ancient Forest.
