Each true leg has seven segments&colon; coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, metatarsus, and tarsus. The articular branches supply the articulations of the tarsus and metatarsus. This gives lasting correction of the forefoot, preventing metatarsus adductus and foot inversion. It also had long pennaceous feathers on its tibia and metatarsus. The calamistrum is found on the upper margin of the metatarsus of the hind legs. They are placed between the middle and distal thirds of the metatarsus. The pedipalps have only six segments&colon; the metatarsus is missing. The metatarsus was short and not arctometatarsalian, as in most other theropods. Like other peacock-pheasants, Palawan males and some females exhibit multiple spurs on the metatarsus. The metatarsus of the foot had a feather covering also. Protofeathers were also found on the metatarsus (upper part of the foot). It contains a compact, homogeneous metatarsus, thought to be adapted for bearing extraordinary weight. They often have a calamistrum on metatarsus IV associated with a cribellum. Its right metatarsus was damaged during life and had healed incorrectly. The foot was also long, especially in the metatarsus.
