Millesaurs
Millesaurs (Japanese: ミレザウロ, Mirezauro) are enormous, dinosaur-like creatures in Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Description[]
Millesaurs are amongst the largest, physically, of all Miran fauna. Their long trunks can move in any direction to strip trees of their leaves and plains of their grasses, while rocks they have swallowed grind up this vegetation in their stomach, aiding digestion.
Though gargantuan in size, a significant portion of the millesaur anatomy is dedicated to an air sac, making them much lighter than they first appear. As adults are seldom targeted by predators, they will almost never attack other creatures--except when their offspring are in danger. For this reason, several millesaurs keep watch over their young at all times. Interestingly, direct incubation is impossible due to their size, so they use geothermal heat to keep unhatched eggs warm.
Color Variants[]
Millesaurs fall into two color variants. There are no differences in the materials dropped by them.
- Brown millesaurs are a dull brown with dark shading.
- White millesaurs are light grey.

Characteristics[]
The overall appearance of a millesaur is similar to a brontosaurus, with a head resembling that of a hammerhead shark, large bony protrusions above the front shoulders and along the tail, and a volcano-like appendage on the back. However the apparent head and neck are actually a trunk; the true head is concealed by a large flap on the chest, and is only exposed when the false head is severed.
Etymology[]
The name is likely derived from the Latin word "Mille", meaning a very large number, and the Greek word "Sauros", meaning lizard.
The original name from early beta versions, アンフィコエリアス (Anfikoeriasu), may have been derived from Amphicoelias, a genus of sauropod and one of the largest animals ever discovered.
