Relating to or characteristic of the Amblypoda, describing animals with short, thick, blunt-hoofed feet.
From 'Amblypoda' + the adjective suffix '-ous'. This paleontological term emerged alongside formal classification of early mammal fossils in the 19th century.
The word 'amblypodous' perfectly captures the absurd engineering of these animals—they were built like they were designed to be immovable objects rather than sprinters.
