Aptonoth

Aptonoth are Herbivores introduced in 2004 video game called Monster Hunter. Aptonoth are cow-like creatures with leathery gray skin. They have black stripes along their backs and a head reminiscent of a Hadrosaur. They have a large, two-pronged crest protruding from their heads and a flat, spiked tail. These docile creatures are hunted for their meat by humans and other monsters. They always travel in groups. When one Aptonoth is threatened, others will run away for safety, but sometimes the alpha male of the Aptonoth will attempt to fight back before fleeing himself. Sometimes the fleeing Aptonoth will walk over the River in Forest & Hills Area 1, probably to return back to their herd. Aptonoth are found in a wide range of habitats, from dense Jungles to humid Swamps and even tropical islands.
