Hoennian Lairon
When two Lairon meet in the wild, they fight for territory by bashing into each other with their steel bodies. The sound of their collision carries for miles.
Altaran Lairon
If Altaran Lairon feels threatened, it will charge its attacker and ram it with the sharp spikes on its shell. A single one charging at full speed can shatter boulders.
