Bovimastyx

Bovimastyx are large, slow, dinosaur-like creature that dwell in all tunnels under Daemonheim. Their skin is sought after for making excellent Ranged armour. It's also used to make bags, making a higher level skin quite valuable. They can be killed, but are often caught with special Hunter traps, that cut off the Mastyx' head when he takes an interest in the trap. Trapping them is generally advised, as it provides the player with about 2-4 hides, while killing it only yields one hide (or none at all).

Species
There are ten known species:


 * Protomastyx
 * Submastyx
 * Paramastyx
 * Archaemastyx
 * Dromomastyx
 * Spinomastyx
 * Gallimastyx
 * Stegomastyx
 * Megamastyx
 * Tyrannomastyx

Hunting Bovimastyx
With the proper Fletching and Hunter levels, a player can make a hunting trap and catch a bovimastyx. Traps are made out of different types of wood. Higher tiers of wood are required to catch higher tiered bovimastyx. Bovimastyx hides will be given as a result of catching a bovimastyx, which can be crafted into Ranged gear. It is possible that the bovimastyx won't be caught in the trap, and it will walk away. Unlike the normal option to dismantle the trap and set it up again, the trap will disappear and in order to catch the bovimastyx, a new one must be made.

Trivia

 * The Tyrannomastyx is the highest level bovimastyx, and its name might be a reference to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Some other names do as well. E.g.: Stegomastyx → Stegosaur and Protomastyx → Protoceratops.
 * Their appearances somewhat resemble that of a Stegosaur.
 * It was possible for free players to obtain Tier 6-10 hide by killing these monsters, and can even craft them. By crafting these, they will have created a members' object.
 * They are the only monsters in Daemonheim with fixed combat levels.
 * Killing them is not required to pass through Guardian doors, and doing so has no effect on the Dungeoneering XP reward at the end.
 * The name Archaemastyx resembles Archaeopteryx.
