Horned Dynastid Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a horned dynastid! I'd hate to hear it honk that schnoz!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The horned dynastid's head is shaped like a samurai warrior's helmet, hootie-hoo!

 It would be a most impressive fact if their large size wasn't so horrifying!

 Adult males use their huge horned heads for fighting and digging, while the females have no such need.

 Ad for their larvae and pupae, they too are quite large and feed on rotting wood at a tremendous pace...

 A foul feast, indeed!
