Ankylosaurus

The Ankylosaurus is an armored dinosaur enemy found in The Jurassic (Act 3, Chapter 3) with 16 HP and 6 damage. Its wide melee attack deals massive knockback of 10 tiles and has a chance to Stun every target it hits, making it one of the most disruptive melee threats in the chapter. Its Champion variant boasts 32 HP and 7 damage, doubling its already considerable durability.

The Ankylosaurus's most dangerous mechanic is its reactive spin attack: whenever it takes damage, it immediately performs a spin attack that strikes all adjacent units. This means every melee hit against the Ankylosaurus risks triggering a free AoE counterattack that can hit your other cats positioned nearby. The 10-tile knockback on its primary attack can send cats flying into walls or environmental hazards for additional damage, or scatter your formation across the entire map.

Ranged or long-range abilities avoid the spin counterattack entirely, making them the safest approach. If melee is your only option, ensure no other cats are adjacent to the Ankylosaurus when you attack, as the spin will hit them too. The extreme knockback on its main attack can be mitigated with Brace status or by positioning cats with their backs against walls (though wall collision damage is a risk). Single high-damage strikes are better than multiple weak hits, as each hit triggers a separate spin.
