Millesaur

Millesaurs are gigantic dinosaur-like enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X under the Theroid classification.

The long neck is actually a false head; it functions more like a trunk for them to drink water. The real head is located underneath the neck and is only seen when the false head is removed.

Description
''Millesaurs are among 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 in 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.''

In combat
Millesaurs typically start battles with powerful attacks like Multi Dino Mortar first, and have high offensive stats in general (although very little evasion). Resistance to Physical, Thermal and Gravity is highly recommended to prevent immediate death.

In general, millesaurs take 25% more damage from Ether attacks and 50% more damage from Thermal attacks.

Variations
Millesaurs come in two variations depending on their color. Unlike most indigens, the color doesn't change the s dropped.


 * Most Millesaurs are brown with mainly dark colors.
 * There is one white Millesaur: Luciel, the Eternal. It is the strongest Millesaur in the game (though not the one with the most health: that's Gradivus, the Headless Emperor).

In general, all Millesaurs drop these items:
 * Thick Millesaur Hide from the long neck.
 * Millesaur Larynx from the true head underneath the neck.
 * Millesaur Dung from the tail.
 * Obsidian Cluster from the back.
 * from the four feet.
 * Obsidian Fragment from the main body.
 * Rugged Skin from the main body.

Trivia
In the Wii U - Monolith Soft Trailer, the Millesaur's original Japanese name was, or "Amphicoelias", referring to an ancient species of sauropods that lived during the Late Jurassic period.
