Beyond the game
The real Mylodon
Mylodon was a ground sloth with a heavy body and strong clawed limbs. It is also known through unusually informative preserved material beyond isolated bones.
Unusually informative preserved material complements its skeleton. The claws and foot posture are parts of a ground-sloth construction rather than a conventional bear-like body plan.
