Triceratops

Triceratops is the only herbivorous dinosaur in-game. This ceratopsian ranges from 6000kg to 12000kg. it has around 2800 health.

 Behavior 

Triceratops are generally docile animals, but they will become aggressive if the player attacks or walks too close to it. It will flee from the player when it's health is reduced to 50% or less.

You can easily hear them once they are near you, as their footsteps aren't as loud as those from a T. rex, but they still are pretty easily distinctive from those made by smaller dinosaurs like Utahraptor. You can hear them grunting, breathing and occassionally calling other near Triceratops. If you get too close, they will run a few meters away before turning towards you and standing still, their horns up and ready to gore you to death. They will then rush you like a bull, but this attack can be dodged by jumping to the sides. They cannot hurt you if you're standing behind their crest and out of range from their massive horns, so use this to your advantage if you possess a meele weapon like a machete. Like all prey, they will let out a dying cry before falling dead.

 Hunting 

Triceratops can be hunted effectively with all weapons in-game. At the moment, it takes only a single shot to the heart with the basic wooden bow to take this creature down.

Its heart is located just before its shoulder and directly above its elbow. A small skin wrinkle on the side of the Triceratops can be useful for shot placement, as it leads directly into the chest area where the heart is located.

 Appearance 

Triceratops is a big ceratopsian dinosaur with a large head, which possesses three massive foward facing horns; one small atop its nose, and the other two just above its eyes, and a big bony shield with small triangular osteoderms. Male Triceratops are generally larger than its female counterparts, and have a few distinctive rows of bent spikes or quills near their tails and back. Females are smaller, and possess fewer quills than males.

The Uncommon Triceratops is a large orange male. It possesses the same model as a regular Triceratops, but his skin is way brighter and colorful, with its head possessing a bright orange and dark orange/red stripes on his crest.

The rare Alpha Triceratops is a gigantic battle-worn male, much bigger than the rest of its species. Its crest is a different shape than the uncommon Triceratops (another dominant male), possessing big osteoderms. Its quills are also much larger and sharp. Much like the uncommon Triceratops, his body is covered in colorful orange scales, but it possesses darker and bolder orange/red stripes on its crest and body. Killing an Alpha Triceratops will give you a bonus chest, often possessing a beacon, special ammo, and an axe.
