Ardun
Arduns are an enemy species in Xenoblade Chronicles, Future Connected, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Torna ~ The Golden Country, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3. They are stocky quadruped mammals with armadillo-like plating across their back, legs, and heads, with a row of hair around their torso and chin, and a set of triceratops-like horns on their head.
Juvenile Arduns appear much like their female counterpart, Armus. Collectively, the two are Armuidae.
Xenoblade Chronicles[edit]
Arduns can be found exclusively on the Bionis' Leg. They also appear on the Bionis' Shoulder in Future Connected.

Arduns are unchanged from their previous games. They can occasionally be seen ramming their horns into trees, knocking some fruit into the ground. Arduns can be found at Ribbi Flats, Rae-Bel Tableland, the Great Sword's Base and Erythia Sea. The superboss Kilocorn Grandeps is a heavily armored Ardun that is found at Dumas' Jaw.
