# Glypto
The **Glypto** is a genus of giant mammals related to the extinct *Armodae* and lives on the vast Plains of Dûn on the edge of the Silent Waste.
Like its extinct relatives, the Glypto is encased from head to tail in thick, protective armour composed of bone plates. Its armour-clad tail is a lethal club, sometimes spiked with sharp horns. An animal with a surprisingly fast action radius, the common Glypto is primarily used by the Urthnaki for transportation and agriculture. The Glypto are known for their regenerative qualities, which quickly recover damaged shells. In times of war, the Glypto have been used in modern warfare as part of a "moving wall"; a semi-defensive unit of Glypto positioned so that they form a half-moon shape of moving protection.
