Description: The evolution of Cranidos, Rampardos is a prehistoric Pokémon brought to life in the modern era by science. The spikes protruding below its skull dome are larger with two new ones in the front. It has additional spikes on its shoulders and knees. In addition to the blue streak down its back, it has blue rings around its shoulds, arms, legs, and tail, and a black ring below its dome.

Like its previous stage, Rampardos relies primarily on headbutting attacks both in hunting and battling. As a result, its skull has grown incredibly hard and a foot thick. It's thick skull left very little room for its brain, leading people who discovered its fossils to conclude that it lacked intelligence. In ancient times, humans who found Rampardos fossils would use the skulls as helmets.
