Exiogcus
This species has unusual head-dress.
There are 6 horns on the head. On the
top, between the ears are 2 small,
knob-shaped horns. The 2 on the
middle of the muzzle are bent
forewards. The 2 longest horns at the
end of the muzzle curve up toward
each other. This is a plains-dwelling
species that feeds on grass.

Cerosus
One of the largest species in this family.
The head has a helmet-like plate
covering the front, to protect the eyes
from a rival's horns when sparring for a
mate. It also helps to ram a predator.
They are plains-dwellers.

Proceras
The largest species, and it has the
smallest horns. This species is much
larger than an African elephant, yet the
horns are only about a foot long and
face outward. The horns in fact are
more for show than actual sparring.
Males waft their horns at each other,
and clash them only when necessary.
