I think that's what they're leaning toward (I feel like we had a thread on this subject a while ago actually haha), but I can't help seeing them as something more akin to a rhino or one of those prehistoric horned mammals. :) I suppose they don't have to be either since they're a fictional creature, but it is easier to see the reptilian/dino like traits on the newer mount.

No, it's clearly wearing scale mail armour ;)

It does seem to be the way they're going with this. Like Veph I always thought of them as akin to rhinos or at least early mammal-like reptiles. They've never been scaly like this before.

Armadillos have scales, and they're mammals.

So do pangolins.

Many dinosaurs had scaly skin, and they were warm-blooded. They were also not reptiles, but bird-like.

Just sayin'. ;)

Yups, there are many mammals that have pattern/segmented/scale like patterns to their skin that are not reptilian. :)

Elephant hide.

Rhino Hide

I'd lump them in with Rhinos and Elephants and what not as well.

To me, they're like one of those dinosaurs. You know...like a stegosaurus, just minus a few key features. I do see Kodos as some kind of lizard/dinosaur hybrid. They lumber as they walk, something the herbivores of the Jurassic world would do as they plodded along.

I must say, pangolins are adorable. I'd rather ride a giant one of those than a Kodo, I will be honest there. :lol: then again, as pointed out, a Kodo could well be a scaly-looking mammal. Imagine a Kodo egg. The sheer size of it.

Yeah, it's just the old kodo skin looks VERY much like elephant hide, but the new model's scales look more like, say, a snake. Very non-mammalian. :(

Perhaps it's a mammal-like reptile like a Therapsid.
