Evellos are enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X under the Theroid classification, known for their large neck wattles and fast movement. These horned flightless birds run freely through the lands of Mira, with the ability to powerfully kick through anyone that gets in their way.

Description

Inhabitants of Mira's southern lands, these giant birds sport highly developed beaks that occupy most of their head and effectively serve as horns. Their diet consists primarily of insects, the exoskeletons of which can be easily pierced by a single sharp peck.

Evellos are pair-bonding creatures, often sighted in groups of a single male and female. Reproduction occurs every two years, with hatchlings raised by both the genetic parents and another closely related couple with no young of their own for that year. Evello eggs are unusually large, and a favorite food of many predators.

In combat

Evellos only have physical attacks, although they do have the ability to fire rocks at faraway enemies if need be. The evello's strongest attack is the Drop Kick, which hits pretty hard and inflicts Knockback on any enemies in its way.

Variations

There are two variants of evello:

• Light evellos primarily live in Primordia. These evellos drop the Meaty Evello Egg from the main body.

In general, all evellos drop these items:

• Robust Evello Horn from the horn.
• Bone-In Thigh Meat from the posterior.
• Chipped Talon from the main body.
• Worn Muscle Fiber from the main body.
