Slinger Ammo

Smoke Bomb (10g)

You can throw a Smoke Bomb at a point within 30 feet of you. It creates a 30 foot radius cloud of smoke, heavily obscuring the area for one minute. Winds of 10 miles per hour or more will blow the smoke away.

You can only use a Farcaster if you have tamed a Wingdrake. After using a Farcaster, a Wingdrake will arrive at the start of your next turn.

Shock Trap (100g)

You can set this trap within 5ft. of you and it arms at the end of your turn. A Shock Trap electrifies a 5 foot radius area on the ground for one minute.

You set this trap within 5ft. of you and it arms at the end of your turn. A Pitfall Trap covers a 10 foot radius area on the ground and is permanent until a creature triggers it. A creature of size large or larger that steps into the area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or fall into the trap. While in the trap a creature is incapacitated and considered prone. At the end of their turn a creature can attempt a DC 15 Strength check to pull itself from the trap. Creatures with a fly speed automatically succeed on this check. Elder Dragons are immune to this trap.

Tranq Bomb (20g)

You can throw a Tranq Bomb at a creature within 30 feet of you. If the creature has equal to or less than 20 hit points it falls unconscious for one minute or until it takes damage. A creature in one of the above traps fall unconscious for 1d12 hours instead. Elder Dragons are immune to Tranq Bombs.

Raw Meat (1g)

Raw Meat can be placed as bait for carnivorous creatures. An exhausted carnivorous creature must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw to avoid eating the meat.

Can be harvested from any living creature made of flesh.

Drugged Meat (10g)

Drugged Meat works just as Raw Meat does. However a creature that eats it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or fall unconscious for one minute or until it takes damage.

Tinged Meat (10g)

Tainted Meat works just as Raw Meat does however a creature that eats it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed until the end of their next turn.

Poisoned Meat (10g)

Small Barrel Bomb (30g)

When placed a Small Barrel Bomb detonates after 1d4 turns. Any creature within 10 feet of the bomb must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d10 fire damage.

Large Barrel Bomb (120g)

A Large Barrel Bomb is a medium object with an AC of 5 and 1 hit point. It is immune to poison, psychic and necrotic damage. It detonates upon taking any damage. When it detonates, any creature within 15 feet of the bomb must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d10 fire damage on a failed save or half as much on a success.

Mega Barrel Bomb (250g)

A Mega Barrel Bomb is a medium object with an AC of 5 and 1 hit point. It is immune to poison, psychic and necrotic damage. It detonates upon taking any damage. When it detonates, any creature within 20 feet must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 8d10 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

Bounce Bomb (20g)

This bomb shoots into the air 1d4 turns after being placed. The Bomb detonates if it impacts a creature, an object or if it reaches 60 feet into the air. Any creature within 10 feet of the bomb when it detonates must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw taking 1d10 fire damage on a failed save or half as much on success

Mega Bounce Bomb (80g)

Same as Bounce Bomb above. Any creature within 15 feet of the bomb when it detonates must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d8 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

You are immune to the prone condition, cannot be moved against your will and are immune to the effects of monster roars while wearing this mantle. You also reduce all damage taken by your proficiency bonus while wearing this. However you have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws. This mantle recharges on a long rest.

Lasts one minute

You gain the Evasion ability and all attacks have disadvantage against you. This mantle recharges on a long rest.

Immunity Mantle

Lasts one minute

You are immune to the Poisoned, Paralyzed and Unconscious condition while wearing this mantle.

Strength of Mantles

Mantles may tip the balance of encounters too heavily in the party's favour. In this case you can change it so that all Mantles recharge on a long rest, limit players to one mantle, make them require attunement or simply omit them entirely. Remember however that mantles are generally hard to obtain and are only given to those who deserve it.

However any humanoid creature can use them, so consider boss monsters utilising mantles to combat the party if they have the means to acquire them.

Lack of Bandit Mantle

I felt that the Bandit Mantle did not fit into dnd 5e at all. The only ability I could think of was that it would grant advantage on Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks to steal things, but that is quite far from the in game versions role.

Ammos

Coatings

Ballista

Large Object

Armour Class: 15

Hitpoints: 50

Damage Immunities: Poison, psychic

A ballista is a massive crossbow that fires heavy bolts. It must be loaded before being fired. It takes an action to load it and an action to aim and fire it. Two types of ammo can be loaded into a Ballista. Up 10 large Bolts can be loaded in the Ballista at a time (A character can load all 10 with a single action) or a single One-Shot Binder, a specialised piece of ammunition that is used to restrain flying or fast moving monsters.

Bolt: Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 120/480 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d10) piercing damage.

One-Shot Binder. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 100/460 ft., one target. Hit: This attack deals no damage but if it hits a creature of size Large or Larger they are restrained. At the end of each of its turns a restrained creature can make a DC 18 Strength saving throw to break free.

Cannon

Large Object

Armour Class: 19

Hit Points: 100

Damage Immunities: Poison, psychic

A cannon uses gunpowder to propel heavy balls of cast iron through the air at destructive speeds.

A cannon is usually supported in a wooden frame with wheels. Before it can be fired, the cannon must be loaded and aimed. It takes one action to load the weapon, one action to aim it, and one action to fire it. A cannon can hold five Cannon balls at a time, each one taking an action to load. When a creature uses an action to fire the cannon it must make a number of attacks equal to the number of loaded cannon balls at the creature they aimed at.

Cannon Ball. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 300/500 ft., one target. Hit: 44 (8d10) bludgeoning damage.

Roaming Ballista

Large Object

Armour Class: 18

Hitpoints: 175

Damage Immunities: Poison, Psychic

The Roaming Ballista is a large rotary gun that fires bolts at an incredibly high rate of fire. A Roaming Ballista is normally attached to a track of some sort, which it can move along. A creature can move the Roaming Ballista up to 40ft. along the track as a Bonus Action while they are on it.

The Roaming Ballista is loaded with 200 bolts. A creature can aim the Ballista and fire a volley of 50 bolts at a target using an action. A Roaming Ballista automatically reloads its ammunition after a minute if there is ammo available

Volley Fire: The target creature must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 35 (10d6) piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

Dragonator

Huge Object

Armour Class: 22

Hitpoints: 350

Damage Immunities: All

A Dragonator is the pinnacle in anto-dragon weaponry. These massive machines consist of one or two enormous iron spears, which are often covered in spikes and spin much like drills when fired. When activated a Dragonator utilises a coal fire and pressurized steam to fire these enormous spears with immense power.

Dragonators cannot be aimed, instead they face in a fixed direction and often require the users to lure the target to the front of the weapon in order to be used. A Dragonator requires an action to be fired, using the manual lever at the top. Once fired, the Dragonator cannot be fired again for a full minute. Dragonator's often require time to charge before being fired and will often not be available at the beginning of a fight.

Dragonator. When fired, the Dragonator extends two 20 foot long, five foot wide spinning spears in a straight line (with a 15 ft. space between them). A creature in the area of one of these spears must succeed on a DC 24 Dexterity saving throw, taking 65 (10d12) piercing damage and being knocked prone on a failed save. On a success a creature takes half damage and is not knocked prone. A creature that is in the area of both spears must make the save against both.

Monsters make up the animals in the ecosystem of the world of Monster Hunter. The term "Monsters" is not used in the same way as the term 'Monstrosity' is in the Forgotten Realms, but instead is used simply as an over-arching term for all the different species lumped together, much like animals is used for everything ranging from a bear to a goldfish.

Natural Creatures. All the monsters listed in this supplement are considered beasts, except for Elder Dragons, which are considered Dragons (except certain ones such as Kirin). For all other monsters however, spells such as Dominate beast, or Animal Friendship affect them, and a druid can wildshape into any they have seen (CR restrictions still apply) etc. It is up to the DM's discretion however whether they wish to see these creatures as beasts or monstrosities, it is simply recommended they be seen as beasts as in Monster Hunter the Monsters are a part of the natural world, not magical creatures as monstrosities often are. I also made this decision as after CR 3 the Beast category is extremely lacking, and there are no official beasts after CR 8, making spells such as Dominate Beast obsolete by around level 8 and giving the Druid very few high CR wildshape option outside of elementals (CR 4 has only two and CR 6 has one. CR 5 has four, however one is the Giant Shark which is useless unless the party is underwater).

Enrage All monsters of size large and larger (aside from herbivores) listed in this supplement have the enrage feature, This is to simulate how in the games, monsters would enrage and gain a brief boost to their damage and, for certain monsters, other abilities.

The basic rules for Enraging are as follows: When a monster starts its turn with half its maximum hitpoints or less and has taken damage since its last turn it enrages for a number of rounds depending on its CR. While enraged it deals an extra dice of damage on all attacks and is immune to exhaustion. When the rage ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. The monster cannot enrage again for a number of rounds equal to 2d4.

(Credit to reddit u/wandering-monster for the basic enrage rules used in this supplement).

Legendary Actions Most monsters that are CR 5 and over have Legendary Actions. This is because they are, for the most part, solitary cratures. As such, if a party of adventurers were to fight them they would have the advantage of action economy. To make combat more fair for the monsters they have been given Legendary Actions, unless they are monsters with smaller minion equivalents, such as Daimyo Hermitaur or are CR 0-4, where Legendary Actions would make them too powerful.

Subspecies

Subspecies are generally quite similar to their normal counterpart in many ways. They will often only really differ in colouration (Azure and Pink Rathian, Red Khezu) and little else, although they will often be more powerful (Pink Rathian's tail flip covering a wider area). These subspecies are usually due to a genetic mutation (although Black Diablos is an exception, being a female Diablos in heat)

However, some subspecies are more than simple colour variations. One main form of subspecies are ones that utilise different elements to their normal counterpart due to adapting to a new environment (Glacial Agnaktor, Coral Pukei-pukei) These subspecies are generally a lot more interesting than simple recolours (although they do differ in colouration to their usual species).

Rare Species

Rare species are similar to subspecies in that they come about through genetic mutation or adapting to a new environment. Where they differ is their power level, as Rare Species are often far more powerful than their base form or subspecies, and they can often have new abiities never seen in their normal counterpart (Molten Tigrex using blast blight, Lucent Nargacuga turning invisible). Overall they are far more interesting than subspecies most of the time.

Variants

Variants are usually a member of the usual species that has changed in some way after birth due to strange circumstances. Examples include Rusted Kushala Daora (A Kushala that is ready to molt), Savage Deviljho (A Deviljho driven mad by hunger), and Chaotic Gore Magala (A Gore Magala that was interrupted during shedding by the presence of a Shagaru Magala). They are often quite powerful, have a select few new abilities and can utilise the abilities of their normal species to a far greater potential.

Deviants

Deviants are extremely different to their usual species and can come to be through many different circumstances, though often they are very old monsters that have survived multiple fights with hunters and have gained new abilities through mutation (such as Malfestio gaining invisibility).

Placing them in this document

I am still undecided about whether I am going to stat up the subspecies, variants etc. mostly because a lot of the earlier generation ones were basically re-skins (like Blue Kut-Ku). On the other hand, I really want to stat up the new Iceborne subspecies because they're so good. If I do make stat them up, I may end up giving a new ability or trait to the subspecies that were simply reskins.

Variants and Rare Species are more likely to get stats as they have a good few changes to their base form and it shouldn't be too hard think up their abilities in 5e.

Deviants are something I want to do stats for, but am worried that they may be too insane to transfer over to 5e, especially ones like Bloodbath Diablos or Dredking/Queen Raths.

Then again, I did say I wanted to stat up EVERY non-frontier monster, and I technically haven't done that until I do all the subspecies etc.

Bleed

A creature afflicted by bleed takes 1d10 damage from blood loss for every 10 feet it moves and every time it makes an attack or casts a spell. If a creature moves at half speed it does not take the damage from moving. Bleed only affects creatures capable of bleeding, so Constructs, Elementals, Plants and Undead are immune to this status. A creature can end this affect on itself or another creature as an action by succeeding on a Medicine check of DC 15. Magical healing also ends the effect.

Defence Down

A creature afflicted with defence down takes an extra dice of damage from all sources.

Poisoned

A poisoned creature now also takes 1d6 poison damage at the start of each turn in which it is poisoned.

Soiled

A creature that has been afflicted by soiled cannot use consumable items such as potions, food etc. for the duration of the effect. The creature also has disadvantage on Charisma checks made while soiled. The spell Prestidigitation can remove this effect with a successful DC 15 Spellcasting check.

Stunned

The stunned condition now ends when an affected creature takes any damage or a creature within 5ft. takes an action to snap them out of it.

Blights

Different monsters can inflict elemental blights on their opponents. These blights have various effects depending on their element. Only monsters that have elemental attacks can inflict a blight. If a monster has an ability that inflicts a particular blight, it will say so in the creature's stat block, however the details of the blights effect will be here. A creature can only be affected by the same blight once per turn, however it can be affected by multiple blights at once.

• Some monsters such as Mizutsune have their own blights, which will be detailed in their stat blocks rather than this page.

Enrage. When Tetranadon starts its turn with half its maximum hit points (50) or less and has taken damage since its last turn, it enters a rage for a number of rounds equal to 1d4. While enraged, it gains immunity to exhaustion, and rolls an extra damage die on attacks. When the rage ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Hold Breath. The Tetranadon can hold its breath for 30 minutes.

Actions

Multiattack. The Tetranadon makes two Slam attacks or two Water Glob attacks.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack +7 to hit, Reach 5ft., one target. Hit 8 (1d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

Water Glob. Ranged Weapon Attack +2 to hit, range 50ft., one target. Hit 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage and the target is afflicted with Waterblight.

Swallow Debris (Recharge 4-6). Tetranadon swallows gravel, rocks and other debris to increase it's size. Tetranadon increases to Huge size and gains access to

new abilities. It also deals an extra 4 (1d8) damage to any target it hits with a Slam attack and they must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or fall prone. However, it loses 5ft. of movement. If the Tetranadon takes 20 points of bludgeoning damage in a single turn it must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or return to normal size as it vomits the debris.

Water Beam (Only when Huge, Recharge 5-6). Tetranadon fires a large gout of water and gravel from its mouth in a 40 foot cone, emptying its stomach. Any creature in the area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) bludgeoning damage and being afflicted with Waterblight on a failed save. On a success a creature only takes half damage. After using this ability the Tetranadon returns to normal size.

Legendary Actions

The Tetranadon can take 2 Legendary Actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature's turn. Spent legendary actions are regained at the start of each of its turns.

Glutton. The Tetranadon uses the Swallow Debris ability.

Roar (Only when Huge) The Tetranadon roars loudly. Any creature within 15ft. must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be Deafened for one minute. A creature concentrating must make a Concentration check of the same DC.

Spit. The Tetranadon makes a Water Glob attack.

Ground Pound (Only when huge, Costs 2 Actions). The Tetranadon leaps to a point it can see within 30 feet of it without provoking attacks of opportunity. It makes a Slam attack against any creature within 5ft. of it when it lands. Any creature within 10 ft. of where the Tetranadon lands must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.

Physiology

Tetranodon is the heaviest of the three known amphibians. It has a large shell on its back for protection and a platypus-like bill. It's stomach can inflate when full, much like a Great Jagras, allowing it to increase its size and power. While its stomach is bloated it will transition from its normal

quadrupedal stance into a bipedal one, allowing it to swing its stomach around as a weapon. It has a crest on its head shaped similar to a bowl, much like a Kappa although it can be hard to see under the algae-like fur that grows on the top of its body.

Abilities

Tetranadon can fill its stomach with gravel to increase its size. This allows it to deal more damage when it attacks, as well as making it appear larger and more threatening. It is capable of spitting globs of water and, when bloated, it can also fire a high pressure beam of water, although this reverts it to normal size. Due to being bipedal when inflated, it can pick up objects and grapple with creatures of similar size.

Tetsucabra is capable of lifting up large boulders like a forklift and tossing them at attackers. It will also use the boulders as

shields against attackers and to block off paths in areas. Utilizing its extremely powerful jaws, Tetsucabra can crush boulders, sending shards flying to damage enemies. It is also capable of spitting a green globular substance that can decrease its prey's stamina.

Behaviour

Tetsucabra are highly aggressive, territorial monsters though their ecology is much like a frog. The amphibians are well-known for attacking and eating anything that moves in their line of sight and leaping from ponds in order to grab potential

If the boulder cuts through a creatures space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the boulder (Tetsucabra's choice). The boulder is an object made of stone that can be damaged and destroyed. The Boulder has AC 15 and 100 hit points. Reducing the boulder to 0 hit points destroys it. At the end of the Testucabra's next turn the boulder explodes.

Physiology

Zamtrios is a large, quadrupedal monster with grey-blue skin and yellow fins. It is superficially shark-like in appearance, with a long, pointed snout and a mouth filled with multiple rows of sharp teeth. Zamtrios is sometimes seen encased in an ice-like armor, which forms many spines and horns all over its body. As the adult form of Zamite, its limbs are powerful and fully-developed. Its skin is extremely elastic in order to accommodate its inflation abilities.

Abilities

Zamtrios is capable of shooting powerful torrents of water from its mouth to blast away enemies. It can also travel beneath the ice to launch ambush attacks on prey. Using a specialized reactive fluid that is secreted through its skin, it is capable of encasing itself in an icy armor.. The armor also forms a long and jagged spear at the end of its snout. In addition, it can also fill itself with fluid and swell up to massive proportions. In this state it is capable of rolling and jumping on top of targets in an effort to crush them.

Enrage. When Aknosom starts its turn with half its maximum hit points (31) or less and has taken damage since its last turn, it enters a rage for a number of rounds equal to 1d4. While enraged, it gains immunity to exhaustion and rolls an extra damage die on attacks/ When the rage ends Aknosom gains 3 levels of exhaustion, to a maximum of level 3 exhaustion. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

When in defensive shape, it gains +2 tp AC and advantage on all Intimidation checks. In offensive shape it can use the Parasol charge

action and its peck attack deals extra damage as it swings the hardened crest rather than pecking.

Actions

Multiattack. The Aknosom makes two Peck attacks or uses two Bouncing Fireballs. It can replace a Peck attack with a Wing attack.

Peck. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, Reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage or 8 (1d10 + 3) bludgeoning damage when its crest is used offensively.

Wing. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, Reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage and if the target is a creature it must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or fall prone.

Creatures within 5 ft. of Aknosom have advantage on the save. The area remains lit on fire until the end of the Aknosom's next turn. Creatures in the area cannot end the Fireblight effect on themselves and any creature that ends its turn in the lit area takes 2 (1d4) fire damage.

Parasol Charge. The Aknosom moves forward up to its walking speed. It can pass through the spaces of creatures smaller than it during this movement. If the Aknosom passes through the space of a creature or impacts a creature of the same size or larger it can make a Peck attack against them.

Abilities

Aknosom are quite unique bird wyverns, as they can attack using a large parasol shaped collar on the back of their head as well as using it as a make-shift shield, similar to some dinosaur frills. This allows them to charge into enemies to damage them and despite their light frame, Aknosom are quite dangerous in melee. On top of their crest, they can also attack with their wings to knock opponents over or fire bouncing balls of fire. These are actually a type of flammable venom that the Aknosom creates and then lights with a flame sac before firing. Uniquely, these fireballs will bounce along

the ground and light it on fire, rather than being fired straight at a target like other wyverns.

Behaviour

Aknosom is quite a territorial monster, using its large crest to make itself seem larger in order to intimidate other creatures. If this doesn't work, it will choose to fight them if the intruder is percieved to be of a similar size or power to it. If it is deemed too powerful, then Aknosom will retreat instead.

Reactions

Feign Death. When the Gypceros reaches 20 percent health (12) it can feign death, as though it had cast the spell Feign Death on itself, as a reaction.

Any creature within 5 ft must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 26 (4d12) bludgeoning damage, be thrown 10 feet away and knocked prone. On a success creatures take half damage, remain where they are and are not knocked prone.

Physiology

Gypceros is among the largest and heaviest known Bird Wyverns. Its most notable features are the lamp-like crest on top of its head and a rubbery, shock-resistant hide. It has a long pink tail with a bulbous tip, and is a uniform blue-grey across most of its body. It possesses a poison sac which allows it to produce toxic fluids for use against attackers.

Abilities

Gypceros can use its luminous crest to produce dizzying flashes and temporarily disorient foes. Its elastic tail can extend and be used as a whip, and it can spit large globules of poison to intoxicate attackers. Due to its shock-resistant hide and flashing crest is resistant to lightning and is immune to being blinded.

Behaviour

As stated before, Gypceros are naturally timid wyverns and very curious in nature. However, they are not stupid, as when fighting enemies, they occasionally pretend to be dead in order to fool enemies into approaching. With the foes fooled, they will thrash around and hurt their usurpers. Gypceros are highly attracted to shiny and sparkly objects. They have been seen to chase after hunters who hold large shining crystals and rocks from them being attracted to shiny objects. This is due to them mistaken the shiny objects for Flashbugs and Thunderbugs, which leads to them sometimes stealing shiny objects.

Purple Gypceros

Purple Gypceros are a subspecies of the more common Gypceros. They have a more vibrant purple colour, with a bright green tail, likely to ward off predators. They are more resilient than a normal Gypceros and have deadlier poison. The Purple Gypceros has the following changes:

Hit Points: 99 (11d10 + 33)

Deadly Poison. When the Purple Gypceros poisons a creature the creature has disadvantage on saving throws to end the effect on itself and also takes 7 (2d6) poison damage at the end of its turn while poisoned.

to exhaustion, and rolls an extra damage die on attacks. When the rage ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Actions

Multiattack. The Hypnocatrice makes any combination of three attacks but only one can be a claw attack.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 18 (2d10 + 3) slashing damage.

Peck. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage.

Sleep Gas. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, Range 20/70ft., one target. Hit: The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or fall unconscious for one minute, until they take damage or until another creature takes an action to shake them awake.

Physiology

Hypnocatrice is a medium-sized Bird Wyvern covered in bright, colourful feathers. It has extremely powerful legs with large feet, and a hard, sharp beak. Despite its feathered appearance, Hypnocatrice flies using bat-like, membraned wings, leaving its feather arrangements strictly for display purposes. It possesses a sleep sac, which allows it to produce a colourless mist that can cause attackers to fall unconscious.

Abilities

It is equipped with a sleeping sac that can put hunters and other monsters to sleep. Its strong legs allow it to deliver powerful kicks, and its small size and light weight allow it to move with speed and agility during battle.

Behaviour

Hypnocatrice, true to its passive nature, doesn't tend to kill its foes. Rather, it prefers to put them to sleep and run from the fight. However, when enraged, it will put its enemies to sleep, then do everything in its power to kill its foe. Although, if it's hunting for its offspring, it might put a small monster to sleep and carry them back to its nest. As stressed before, Hypnocatrice perform mating rituals to find a mate. Once a Hypnocatrice is fully mature, and breeding season begins, its feathers will change color, from a rusty orange to a bright red and bluish mix. These extravagant colors are perfect for attracting a mate, much like most real birds.

Niche

Hypnocatrice are scavengers content to feed on the remains

of carcasses with their specialized hooked beaks tearing off pieces of flesh small enough to swallow whole. When carrion isn't available these Bird Wyverns feed on insects, small animals, Sleepy fish and Sleep Herbs.Hypnocatrice have to be wary of predators in their habitats such as Nargacuga, Rathian, Tigrex, Yian Garuga and Zinogre (as the fanged wyverns favor eating bird wyverns). However if cornered these creatures will unleash vicious kicks and dances slashing and stomping their target with their sharp talons and utilize their unique yet very effective "sleeping fumes".

Biology

Unlike other bird wyverns, the Hypnocatrice seems to grow feathers which are used to attract mates. The Hypnocatrice produces sleep-inducing powder from its Sleep Sac and usually mixes it with some saliva though they can blow it in fumes of gas. This concoction is used to put aggressors or prey to sleep so that that it can leave without a scratch. Its powerful legs contain very strong muscles which are used in killing prey and performing mating dances. Its tail seems to be the only remnant of being a true wyvern. As Hypnocatrice is the closest-looking monster that fits the "Bird-Wyvern" description, it has a strong beak but lacks fangs or even molars for grinding its food, unlike Gypceros or Qurupeco. Thus, it has to swallow pebbles or smooth soil into its stomach to help it crush and break down its food. These pebbles and soil might be introduced to the Hypnocatrice at its moment of birth, and matures along with it to form a prized stone known as 'Hypno Bezoar' that hunters can obtain after killing the creature.

13 (3d8) fire damage and being afflicted by fireblight on a failed save. On a success creatures only take half damage.

Call Monster (Recharge: When the called monster flees or dies). The Qurupeco uses its action to call a Beast. The monster/monsters appear at the start of the next round. Roll a d8. On a 1, three appropriate monsters of CR 1/2 appear. On a 2 an appropriate monster of CR 1 appears. On a 3-4 an appropriate monster of CR 3 appears. On a 5-6 an appropriate monster of CR 6 appears. On a 7 any monster of a CR higher than the Qurupeco appears. The DM chooses this monster or chooses randomly. On an 8 a Deviljho appears. Any monster summoned by the Qurupeco acts as though charmed by the Qurupeco for one minute. It then acts as it normally would. Deviljho is immune to this charm effect.

Buffing Song (Recharge 4-6). The Qurupeco sings a song. All allied creatures that can hear the Qurupeco including itself either immediately enrage, gain a +2 to AC and resistance to bludgeoning piercing and slashing damage or regain (3d6 + the creatures CR/level) hit points, Qurupeco chooses. All monsters gain the same benefit. Effects last for 1 minute but do not stack (except healing).

Enfeebling Song (Recharge 5-6). The Qurupeco sings a song. All hostile creatures that can hear the Qurupeco must make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or either have disadvantage on attack rolls and deal half damage, all attacks have advantage against them, or have their speed reduced to 0 and be unable to take reactions. Qurupeco chooses the effect. All creatures suffer the same effect. On a success a creature is unaffected. Effects last for 1 round.

Reaction

Backline Fighter When a creature moves within 5ft. of the Qurupeco it can use its reaction to move its full movement away from the creature without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Physiology

The Qurupeco resembles a large bird with Pterosaur-like features, such as a fanged beak and leathery wings. It is mainly lime green with some scales being tinted yellow, it also has a clump of iridescent purple feathers on its back between its shoulders. The Qurupeco has a short, stubby brown crest extending from the back of its head. The Qurupeco's soft crest stretches over the top of its head and when calling opens out into the shape of a megaphone, amplifying its calls. Its most notable feature however is its bright red vocal sac which inflates when calling. The Qurupeco also has a pair of thick, bulky growths on its wings which produce sparks when struck against each other, much like flints. It uses these to ignite its mucus, causing fiery explosions.

Its tail is shaped like a fan and can unfold revealing brightly colored skin, most likely as a warning for any would-be attacker. The Qurupeco's feet seem to have only 3 frontal digits on each foot. It may also have a back digit,but its stubby appearance makes it looks more like a heel. Its feet are also partially webbed.

Abilities

It uses its masterful vocal mimicry abilities to summon aid from various monsters, as well as healing them and boosting their abilities. The Qurupeco's soft crest and throat sac make it a very delicate monster.

Keen Eyesight. The Malfestio has Advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Actions

Multiattack. The Malfestio makes two attacks with its wingblades and one with its talons.

Wingblade. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) slashing damage.

Talons. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 10 (1d12 + 4) slashing damage.

Hypnotic Hoot (Recharge 4-6). The Malfestio sends a wave of ultrasonic sound out in a 5 ft wide, 60 ft long line.

The creature wakes up if it takes any damage or if another creature takes an action to shake it awake.

Confusing Dust (Recharge 5-6) The Malfestio creates a 5 foot radius sphere of dust and pushes it forward in a 30 ft line. Any creature hit by the cloud must make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or become confused for 1 round as though affected by the confusion spell.

Physiology

Malfestio superficially resembles an owl. Its body is covered in blue plumage with a grayish belly, a yellow collar, and a white face with a small beak and red eyes. On its head are long tufts that point back and are tipped with yellow. There are hints of yellow on its legs that end in scaly feet that have two talons and one small vestigial toe. Its wings have bright blue membranes. Along its wings are long blade-like claws. Its flattened tail ends in a three-pointed shape. Like a real owl, it can turn its head around to see directly behind itself

Abilities

From its feathers Malfestio can produce yellow scales that disoriente prey and put them in a confused state. It can produce an ultrasound beam that can easily put prey to sleep. The claws along its wings are usually hidden but are revealed once the Bird Wyvern becomes enraged. In rage mode it will begin to use these claws as weapons.

Behaviour

Malfestio prefer to venture out at night without being disturbed by other threats. Malfestio are known to attack prey under the cover of night. They'll use their talons and

wing claws to attack prey. Generally, Malfestio sleep in trees to avoid ground-based threats.

Niche

Malfestio are mid-sized predators that feed on Herbivores, such as young Larinoth and Kelbi. Malfestio also occasionally feed on carrion of dead animals. Though Malfestio are top predators in their own right, they have to compete with other predators like Nargacuga, Tetsucabra, and Glavenus.

Due to the way Malfestio's eyes are positioned, it will rotate and maneuver its head to allow it to see better. Despite looking as though it has normal wings, Malfestio has long sharp claws that are usually hidden while Malfestio isn't using them on its wings. From how they overlap over each other, most wouldn't notice them easily. Malfestio will reveal them once enraged before beginning to use them as both weapons and tools. The claws allow it to fly better yet quieter. Its wing membrane are very unusual compared to other species. If touched, scales will puff out. These scales gather sound and emit a strange echo pattern. Inside its feathers are strange yellow scales that are released when it erects its feathers.

Enrage. When Pukei-Pukei starts its turn with half its maximum hit points (48) or less and has taken damage since its last turn, it enters a rage for a number of rounds equal to 1d4. While enraged, it gains immunity to exhaustion and rolls an extra damage die on attacks. When the rage ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion.

Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Actions

Multiattack. The Pukei-Pukei makes two attacks with its tongue or two attacks with its poison spit. It can also use its poison gas if it is available.

Tongue. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage.

Poison Spit. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 60/80 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d8) poison damage. If the target is a creature it must succeed on a DC 15 Consitution saving throw or be poisoned for one minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw to end the poisoned condition at the end of each of its turns.

Poison Gas (Recharge (4-6). The Pukei-Pukei sprays a toxic mist from its tail in a 30 foot cone. The area is heavily obscured and any creature that starts its turn in the cloud must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for one minute. The gas remains for one minute, until the Pukei-Pukei uses its Poison Gas ability again or until a strong wind disperses it.

Physiology

Pukei-Pukei slightly resembles a chameleon, and its eyes are similar to frogs. It has a pair of wings and is covered in green scales that vary in color throughout its body excluding its underbelly. Its underbelly is covered in white osteoderm-like protrusions. Despite being reptilian in nature, Pukei-Pukei has vibrant feathers around its neck and wings

Abilities

Pukei-Pukei is known to store the properties of its food within its mouth and tail before combining them with its own poison. By doing so, it can spew poison from its mouth and tail for protection. This poison varies depending on its previous meal.

Behaviour

Observational reports state that Pukei-Pukei will bully weaker monsters but cower before bigger, stronger monsters. It's prone to retreating at the first sign of danger. When enraged, the head and wing feathers of the Pukei-Pukei will turn red. When fatigued, feathers on its head and wings are faded, its eyes are also narrowed.

Niche

Pukei-Pukei is a herbivore that feeds on various plants like scatternuts, sporepuffs, and poisoncups. In some instances, Pukei-Pukei has even been observed eating stones. Despite being a herbivore, it will attack weaker monsters like Mosswine and Jagras, but will flee from larger, stronger monsters like Anjanath and Rathalos.

Many of the plants in the Ancient Forest have a low germination rate due to them being covered by a shell, but Pukei-Pukei increases the germination rate by feeding on them. Pukei-Pukei mainly eats these plants for food and defensive purposes, though leaves behind the seeds which makes more vegetation for its environment. From the Pukei-Pukei eating the plants, it allows for the Ancient Forest's habitat to further grow and spread.

Biology

Like some Bird Wyverns, Pukei-Pukei has feathers covering some portions of its body (Wings and neck). Inside of these feathers are small crystals that reflect light, changing color depending on the light's angle. The color of Pukei-Pukei's feathers, as well as its face, will change color to reflect the Bird Wyvern's emotions, showing how it feels at the moment.

Aggressive. As a bonus action, the Yian Garuga can move up to its speed toward a hostile creature that it can see.

Enrage. When Yian Garuga starts its turn with half its maximum hit points (84) or less and has taken damage since its last turn, it enters a rage for a number of rounds equal to 1d6. While enraged, it gains immunity to exhaustion, rolls an extra damage die on attacks and its movement is increased by 10 ft. When the rage ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds. Also when the Yian Garuga first reaches half its maximum hit points it can immediately use the roar action, even if it hasn't recharged, as a reaction.

Erratic Behaviour. Due to the random nature of its movements, all of Yian Garuga's attacks are made with advantage.

Keen Hearing. The Yian Garuga has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing.

Actions

Multiattack. The Yian Garuga makes 3 attacks. Any number of these can be with its fireball or peck.

Peck. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

Fireball. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 50/100 ft., 1 target. Hit: 11 (3d8) fire damage and the creature is afflicted by Fireblight.

Tail Flip (Recharge 5-6). The Yian Garuga does a back flip, hitting enemies in front of it and behind it with its tail. All targets 5ft behind and in front of the Yian Garuga must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 13 (2d8+4) piercing damage and 5 (1d10) poison damage and be poisoned for 1 minute. While poisoned in this way the creature takes 5 (1d10) poison damage at the start of each of its turns. On a success creatures take half damage and are not poisoned. Creatures can make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw to end the poisoned effect at the end of their turn.

Roar (Recharge 5-6). The Yian Garuga can roar as a bonus action. Any creature within 10 ft of the Yian Garuga and not deafened when it roars must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be deafened and stunned until the end of their next turn or until they take damage. On a success the creature is unaffected.

Legendary Actions

The Yian Garuga can take 3 Legendary Actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature's turn. Spent legendary actions are regained at the start of each of its turns.

Defensive Screech. The Yian Garuga uses its Roar if it's available.

Disengage. The Yian Garuga moves up to half its movement speed without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Diving Peck (Costs 2 Actions). The Yian Garuga moves up to 30 feet into the air before diving at a creature within 30 feet of it and making a peck attack. If the Yian Garuga dived at least 20 feet toward the target and then hit with the peck attack, the attack deals an extra 7 (2d8) damage to the target.

Physiology

Yian Garuga has a striking purple coloration, large defensive spikes and an extremely tough shell. Its beak is sharp and jagged, and it possesses a silver mane around the edge of its face.

Abilities

Yian Garuga possesses a poisonous tail club and can produce ear-splitting roars to stop foes in their tracks. It can also produce and fire long range fireballs much like Rathian.

Behaviour

Very war-like in nature, Yian Garuga are a monster that is best avoided. Yian Garuga are very solitary creatures, although they have rarely been seen in groups possibly during the mating season. After mating, a female will sometimes seek out a Yian Kut-Ku nest, destroy the eggs, and then lay its own eggs in the nest for the oblivious Kut-Ku to raise and care for. This shows that a female Garuga can be a Brood Parasite like a cuckoo bird. Yian Garuga perform this behavior due to their poor parental behavior.

Enrage When Yian Kut-Ku starts its turn with half its maximum hit points (48) or less and has taken damage since its last turn, it enters a rage for a number of rounds equal to 1d6. While enraged, it gains immunity to exhaustion and rolls an extra damage die on attacks. When the rage ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Keen Hearing. The Yian Kut-Ku has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing.

Sensitive Hearing. If the Yian Kut-Ku takes thunder damage or hears a very loud noise and is not deafened, it must make a constitution saving throw with a DC equal to half the damage dealt or 10, whichever is higher. On a failure, it is stunned until the start of its next turn and is deafened for 3 rounds. After the stun ends the Kut-Ku immediately enrages. While enraged it loses this trait.

Actions

Multiattack. The Yian Kut-Ku makes 2 melee attacks with its peck or fires two fireballs.

Peck. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit 12 (2d8 + 3)

Fireball. Ranged Weapon Attack +5 to hit, Range 40ft., one target Hit 11 (2d10) fire damage and the target is afflicted by fireblight.

Clumsy Charge (Recharge 4-6). The Yian Kut-Ku charges in a straight line up 40 ft. without provoking attacks of opportunity. The first time the Kut-Ku moves through any creature's space, that creature must make a DC 14 dexterity saving throw, taking 19 (3d10 + 3) bludgeoning damage and being knocked prone on a failed save. On a success creatures only take half damage and aren't knocked prone. The Kut-Ku falls prone at the end of the 40 ft.

Physiology

The Yian Kut-Ku is characterized by its large, fan-like ear frills that unfurl when excited and enlarged lower bill. They have a large, yellow beak with a pink stripe running central down the length of the upper beak. The lower jaw of its beak is significantly larger and bulkier than the top jaw. Yian Kut-Ku's body is covered in orange-pink plating and beige scales. Its wing membranes are deep blue and its eyes are bright yellow. These wyverns are small and relatively light, making them quick and agile. They have an extremely powerful sense of hearing, thanks to the large frills circling their ears.

Abilities

The Yian Kut-Ku is capable of moving at high speeds thanks to its light weight and small stature. It is also able to produce flaming projectiles coming from its flame sac, which can be shot from the mouth at attackers.

Behaviour

A somewhat temperamental, skittish, and inquisitive wyvern. Yian Kut-Ku have a tendency to want to appear bigger than they really are by spreading their wings,

flaring out their ears, and shriek out a loud squawking roar. The Bird Wyverns hope that this show of bravado will discourage predators but if it fails Kut-Ku will immediately flee the area. Though some individuals are more powerful than they appear as they age. During the breeding season female Yian Kut-Ku grow feathers on their abdomen and use them to keep their nests of eggs warm. After the eggs hatch and Yian Kut-Ku chicks are born the mother watches over them and feeding them honey and insects till they reach a certain age. Depending on the weather during the year, Yian Kut-Ku will breed all year round.

Niche

Yian Kut-Ku are omnivorous creatures that eat a wide variety of different things. Kut-Ku will eat lots of insects, such as Konchu, nuts and honey. While they are fully capable of defending themselves against smaller predators such as Velocidrome and their packs Kut-Ku are often preyed upon by larger predators like Rathian and Najarala. Kut-Ku are well known for getting into territorial conflicts with the extremely agressive Yian Garuga. Sometimes a Garuga will take over a Kut-Ku's territory and even kill the smaller bird wyvern.

While enraged, it gains immunity to exhaustion and rolls an extra damage die on attacks. When the rage ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Pack Tactics. The Giadrome has advantage on an Attack roll against a creature if at least one of the Giadrome's allies is within 5 ft. of the creature and the ally isn't Incapacitated.

Standing Leap. The Giadrome's long jump is up to 30 feet and its high jump is up to 10 feet, with or without a running start.

Leaping Pounce. If the Giadrome long jumps at least 20 ft towards a medium or smaller creature and then hits it with a kick attack, the creature must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw. On a failure the target is knocked prone and the Giadrome can make a bite attack as a bonus action against it.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage

Pack Command (Recharge 5-6). The Giadrome issues the following commands to all Giaprey within 30 feet of it that can hear it. Using their reaction the Giaprey can either move up to their movement and make an attack, or can move up to twice their movement speed towards the Giadrome without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Physiology

It is physically very similar to the Velocidrome, the only key difference being the pale blue colouration and the presence of a frost sac

Abilities

Not only does it sport more powerful attack power and higher defense than ordinary Giaprey, it is also capable of spitting a frozen substance that can immobilize prey and foes alike.

Behaviour

Giadrome are quite social compared to its cousins. Unlike most other Velociprey species, Giadrome and Giaprey are quite social. They are known to be made up of more than one pack. Both Giadrome will live together and even control each other's pack while together. By being together, their packs are much deadlier and larger than before.

Niche

Giadrome is a reasonable predator, and can use its Giaprey to outflank a prey item, such as a Popo and Anteka.

However, they can also fall prey themselves to Tigrex, Blangonga, Rajang, Zamtrios, the invasive Deviljho, Kushala Daora,Khezu, Lunastra and Ukanlos.

Biology

From the scales of Giadrome being white and blue, they are able to blend into the snow. This allows it to hunt better in the cold. Unlike the other species of Velociprey, Giadrome can spit a freezing cold liquid at prey. This spit can freeze in prey in their tracks. Their fangs are very cold and sharp to the touch.

Habitat

The Giadrome can be found in freezing cold areas such as mountaintops and arctic regions. This is evidence that the Dromes are warm blooded.

Enrage When Iodrome starts its turn with half its maximum hit points (28) or less and has taken damage since its last turn, it enters a rage for a number of rounds equal to 1d4. While enraged, it gains immunity to exhaustion, has a +1 bonus to attack rolls, and rolls an extra damage die on melee attacks. When the rage ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Pack Tactics. The Iodrome has advantage on an Attack roll against a creature if at least one of the Iodrome's allies is within 5 ft. of the creature and the ally isn't Incapacitated.

Standing Leap. The Iodrome's long jump is up to 30 feet and its high jump is up to 10 feet, with or without a running start.

Leaping Pounce. If the Iodrome long jumps at least 20 ft towards a medium or smaller creature and then hits it with a kick attack, the creature must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw. On a failure the target is knocked prone and the Iodrome can make a bite attack as a bonus action against it.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage and 2 (1d4) poison damage

Kick. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft, 1 target. Hit: 11 (2d6+4) slashing damage

Poison Spit. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 30/60 ft., 1 target. Hit: 5 (1d8) poison damage and the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. The target can make the saving throw again at the end of its turn. While poisoned in this way the target also takes 3 (1d6) poison damage at the start of each of its turns.

Pack Command (Recharge 5-6). The Iodrome issues one of the following commands to all Ioprey within 30 feet of it that can hear it. Using their reaction the Ioprey can either move up to their movement and make an attack, or can move up to twice their movement speed towards the Iodrome without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Physiology

It is significantly larger than normal Ioprey and possesses a larger crest. Unlike other pack leaders, Iodrome has a more amphibian look, with salamander-like skin that seems to glisten with moisture, and a frog-like throat sac. It also lacks the sharp claws of its relatives, relying more on poison to bring down prey like Aptonoth and enemies.

Abilities

Although not as strong as Flying Wyverns, it can quickly cripple hunters with the power of its pack and poison. Iodrome is a threat due to its speed, agility, considerable strength and poison. When threatened, Iodrome spits Poison from the poison sac in its throat.

Behaviour

The Iodrome is territorial and is known as a deadly trouble for miners as it loves tunnels. It always travels with its pack for protection, and leads them during battle, co-ordinating their actions.

Niche

Iodrome primarily feed on Neopterons, which is the reason why they have developed their poisonous sac, along with Apceros, Slagtoth, and carrion. However, these theropods must avoid being preyed upon themselves by larger predators immune to their poison such as gypceros in the swamps etc.

Biology

Unlike other their relatives, Iodrome have a poison sac inside their throat that allows them to spit toxic poison at prey. This has also made their small fangs poisonous when biting into prey. Even their scales and bones are filled with poison for defense against predators. Iodrome poison is stronger than Ioprey poison and it can even kill Ioprey in near minutes. The crest on their head is said to have some type of use but what it is used for is unknown.

Habitat

It is often seen in the various different Swamp and Volcano areas, but can also be found in large forests or rarely in mountainous regions.

Kick. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 7 (2d4 + 3) slashing damage.

Pack Command. The Velocidrome issues one of the following commands to all Velociprey within 30 feet of it that can hear it. Using their reaction the Velociprey can either move up to their movement and make an attack, or can move up to twice their movement speed towards the Velocidrome without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Physiology

Its large, bright red crest over its blue hide signifies to other Velociprey that it is fit to be their leader.

Abilities

Due to its usual weak physical strength, Velocidrome are forced to group up into packs whilst hunting.

Behaviour

Velocidrome give orders to the Velociprey while it constantly patrols its territory in search of intruders that have entered it. If an intruder is spotted, the Velocidrome will call for its pack before attacking the threat. Velocidrome acts as the leader of the Velociprey, taking responsibility of the pack. Velocidromes sometimes prefer two leaders in a pack because it improves the hunting strength of the pack and they can split into two groups for huntinh.

Niche

Velocidrome are in the middle of the food chain, feeding on Herbivores like Aptonoth. Though they can feed on weaker predator and herbivore species, larger predators are known to occasionally feed on them such as Astalos. Rathian have even been seen carrying Velociprey back to her nest to feed her young.

Biology

Its speed and agility are its main strengths. Using these advantages, the Velocidrome will leap around in order to kill prey in a single slash of their hook-like toe claw. The Velocidrome is heavily set in its pack mentality and will rarely fight alone. To try to scare away potential predators, Velocidrome have colorful scales that act as warning colors.

Habitat

Velocidrome are amost exclusively seen inhabiting forested regions as well as thick jungles and open grassland.

Velociprey

Velociprey are essentially a Velocidrome in miniature. Being the weakest of the Bird Wyverns outside of Gargwa, they are forced to pack up for hunting purposes. Despite being a predatory species, Velociprey are low in the food chain. They may even become food for other large species of wyvern, although their speed and agility will discourage most larger predators. They prey mostly on small herbivores such as Kelbi, Mosswine, and occasionally Aptonoth. Velociprey are weak, but together they pose a credible threat to hunters or even small wyverns. Rathian sometimes preys on Velociprey to feed her young, this indicates that some other predatory wyverns also prey on Velociprey for food.

Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Pack Tactics. The Great Baggi has advantage on

attack rolls against a creature if at least one of the Great Baggi's allies is within 5 ft. of the creature and the ally isn't Incapacitated.

Ice Walk. Difficult terrain composed of ice or snow doesn't cost the Great Baggi extra movement.

Actions

Multiattack. The Great Baggi makes two melee attacks: one with its tail and one with its bite.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage.

Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. Hit 7 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage.

Tranquilizing Spit. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 30/60ft., one target. Hit The target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or fall unconscious for 1 minute, until it takes damage or until another creature takes an action to shake it awake.

Pack Command (Recharge 5-6). The Great Baggi issues one of the following commands to all Baggi within 30 feet of it that can hear it. Using their reaction the Baggi can either move up to their movement and make an attack, or can move up to twice their movement speed towards the Great Baggi without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Physiology

Great Baggi are matured male Baggi that have taken over a pack of their own. Great Baggi is also slightly larger than the Great Jaggi.

Located on its head is a crest that can be obtained in a way similar to Great Jaggi's frill. Its eyes will glow yellow in the dark.

Abilities

It has developed its own unique ability; it can spit a tranquilizing liquid that inflicts sleep on its prey or hunters. It also has developed the ability to command Baggi to surround prey or hunters and spit tranquilizing liquid at them with a roar.

Behaviour

Great Baggi are extremely territorial, defending their nests from anything except the stronger monsters of the Tundra. Using their tranquilizing spit they are able to drive almost any monster away.

Niche

The raptor and its pack often compete with Gigginox for caves to nest in. Sometimes, Great Baggi prey on the

Gigginox's offspring, Giggi, depending on the availability of other food. Popos make up their main prey alongside insects.

Biology

The average size of an adult Great Baggi is roughly 1048.9cm. Unlike the Great Jaggi's spiky tail, Great Baggi have a fan-like tail, which is weaker and shorter, but is made to stun prey with a blow to the head. They make up for this with their unique ailment: Sleep. Much like the foreign Hypnocatrice, they have an organ that produces sleep-inducing materials which, when mixed with the Baggi's saliva, can tranquilize almost anything. They shoot these blobs at their prey, and wait until it falls to sleep. One can say that Baggi literally eat their prey alive. They are also slightly bigger than their relatives, and also living in the Tundra has in hardened their skin making it also harder than their relatives as well.

Habitat

Great Baggi and its pack will generally live in tundra regions as they are adapted to cold climates. They are sometimes seen in warmer coastal areas however this is rarer.

Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. Hit 8 (1d10 + 3) bludgeoning damage and the target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Pack Command (Recharge 5-6). The Great Jaggi issues one of the following commands to all Jaggi within 30 feet of it that can hear it. Using their reaction the Jaggi can either move up to their movement and make an attack, or can move up to twice their movement speed towards the Great Jaggi without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Physiology

Great Jaggi's distinctive feature is its frill and the lavender scales with the crimson and tangerine overrides on the frills and the abdomen part, but also the furs that grow on its neck and along the back down to the middle tip of the tail. Great Jaggi's muzzle are particularly thinner and much more wrinkly than the other Bird Wyverns. While the tail has some barbs on each sides, they are notably blunt and definable even used for its tail whip attacks.

Abilities

Great Jaggi, along with the Great Baggi, may attack other large monsters indicating a highly competitive and intelligent demeanor. It can also call its pack of Jaggi to its aid at any time with a loud, resonating roar. Being a larger and more powerful dominant male of Jaggi and Jaggia, it is considered to be the boss of these monsters. Its alpha status is much more prominent than that of previous Dromes, as its physical differences are much more evident.

Behaviour

When a Jaggi leaves its pack and finds a new one to lead, it gains the title of Great Jaggi and eventually gets the body of one too. As leader of a large pack of smaller raptors, the Great Jaggi can take on prey bigger than itself, fend off predators without too much difficulty, and cover great distances looking for food.

The Great Jaggi fits the role of a leader perfectly, as other Jaggia or Jaggi are loyal to their leader. The Great Jaggi is highly territorial, and may sometimes attack other monsters that enter its territory. The Great Jaggi, however, has to be wary of challenges from rivals, as if it´s title is usurped, it will be chased away from the pack and will be forced to live alone until it can find a new pack it can gain control of. It is unknown what happens if it can´t find a new pack, but it´s likely that this unfortunate Great Jaggi will have to live alone and the odds of it surviving are very slim.

Niche

The Great Jaggi are in the middle of the food chain. They hunt many animals, some larger than itself. Its prey include Aptonoth, Kelbi, Rhenoplos, Delex, Fish, Giggi, Slagtoth, and Moofah. It also may prey on eggs of other animals, along with those of larger predators such as Rathian. Great Jaggi meat has a high nutritional value to larger predators, so it tends to stay away from them, including the likes of Lagiacrus, Gore Magala, Rathalos, Tigrex, Deviljho, and Zinogre as these predators would easily kill it. However, should any monster stray too far into Great Jaggi territory, the raptor will try to get rid of the intruder. The Great Jaggi hunts in packs, which helps in the success of its hunt and the previously mentioned hunts of larger wyverns.

Biology

The average size of a Great Jaggi is approximately 934.3cm. The Jaggi is sexually dimorphic, meaning that the Great Jaggi can only be male. The Raptor can summon its pack by a loud

Tail Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, teach 5ft., 1 target. Hit: 7 (1d8+3) bludgeoning damage

Physiology

The Great Maccao's feathered crest sets them apart from its Maccao pack. Although superficially similar to its younger brethren, a Great Maccao is bigger and bulkier, with more brightly-colored plumage. It also has powerful legs it uses to kick threats and to move with great speed, and its spiked tail allows it to propel itself forward and jump with tremendous force.

Abilities

Great Maccao has powerful legs it uses to kick threats and to move with great speed. It can stand on its tail and launch itself forward. Should its tail be damaged, it will be heavily restricted due to relying on its tail for offense and movement.

Behaviour

Great Maccao are shy monsters that prefer to stay away from most threats. Despite Great Maccao being the leader of its Maccao pack, it barely has any control over its lesser counterparts, unlike other Bird Wyverns such as the Great Jaggi. A Great Maccao's pack will rarely assist it in if it is in danger. Great Maccao would rather run than fight, much like its smaller counterparts.

Niche

Great Maccao are scavengers that feed on corpses and eggs belonging to larger predators. Though primarily scavengers, Great Maccao will also feed on smaller monster species. These scavengers are forced compete with larger carnivorous monsters like Glavenus, Tigrex, and Rathian.

Biology

Only male Maccaos or Great Maccaos have feathers on their head. A Great Maccao's tail is similar a kangaroo's tail. Its tail allows it to propel itself forward and jump with tremendous force. The Great Maccao has the ability to stand on its tail without any support from its legs, allowing it to balance itself on its tail with its legs in the air. While standing on its tail, its bright, red underbelly is revealed. The red underbelly acts as a warning sign, and is used to intimidate predators. Because its tail is such an important tool, breaking it will severely handicap the Great Maccao, preventing it from using its tail for attacking and movement. Even if the tail is broken, Great Maccao can still use its unusually shaped hands to ward off foes. These hands are shaped in such a way that doesn't allow them to grab prey, but rather are designed to hold eggs and punch foes.

Habitat

Great Maccao is often seen in areas such as deciduous forest and open plains. As it is a scavenger it tends to live in areas frequented by larger predators, and as such resides in places with high quantities of food.

Poison Gas (Recharge 5-6). The Great Wroggi exhales a 15ft. cone of poisonous gas. Any creature in the area, must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) poison damage and be poisoned for 1 minute. On a success creatures take half damage and aren't poisoned. While poisoned in this way, creatures take 2 (1d4) poison damage at the start of each of their turns. A target can repeat the saving throw at the end of their turn to end the condition.

Pack Command (Recharge 5-6). The Great Wroggi issues one of the following commands to all Wroggi within 30 feet of it that can hear it. Using their reaction the Wroggi can either move up to their movement and make an attack, or can move up to twice their movement speed towards the Great Wroggi without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Physiology

The Great Wroggi has a slick salamander-like skin similar to the Iodrome, and, like its close relatives the Great Jaggi and Great Baggi, Great Wroggi are usually accompanied by a group of their smaller kin - in this case, Wroggi.

Abilities

The most prominent feature of a Great Wroggi is its delicate, translucent sac-like organ around the neck. Because of its translucence, poison can be seen in the sac before it spews out as a toxic mist.

Behaviour

Great Wroggi are territorial by nature, and will defend their territory and nests with aggression. They will send their packs to attack foes and hunters alike. When reaching a certain age, male Wroggi will leave their packs in order to search for and lead a pack of their own.

Niche

Great Wroggi are deadly pack hunters that prey on Aptonoth, Bullfango, Bulldrome, Rhenoplos, and Slagtoth.

However these creatures can be preyed upon themselves by larger predators consisting of Lagiacrus, Brachydios, Brute Tigrex, Plesioth, Rathalos, Rathian, Gobul, Stygian Zinogre, Royal Ludroth, and Deviljho. But if in large numbers these raptors can harass larger predators out of their territories by utilizing strength in numbers and by spitting their deadly toxic fumes.

Biology

Great Wroggi are not strong by themselves, so they form packs much like Great Jaggi and Great Baggi. This survival strategy proves useful when facing larger monsters and hunting prey. On their neck is poison sac used to produce toxins that they use to kill prey. This toxin is sprayed at prey in a mist form, poisoning prey from a distance. Venom is also contained in their fangs. To warn predators that they are poisonous, Great Wroggi have an orange colored-hide as a warning to potential predators.

Habitat

The swamp is their preferred habitat and they are most commonly seen there. Rarely are they seen in other areas such as jungles.

Reactions

Block. If the Kulu-Ya-Ku is holding a rock it can use its reaction to block a ranged or melee weapon attack made against it, gaining resistance to the damage. Roll a d100. On a roll of 25 or less the rock breaks.

Physiology

Kulu-Ya-Ku has a body shape similar to other raptorial Bird Wyverns, such as Velocidrome. This monster is covered in light brown scales and has a face that greatly resembles a Dodo. Though it is mostly covered in scales, it also has feathers on its head and arms.

Abilities

Kulu-Ya-Ku is able to pick up small boulders and use them to protect itself from incoming attacks. It can also toss said boulders at foes from a distance.

Behaviour

They are commonly spotted stealing eggs from Monster nests, especially those of the Rathian. It is relatively weak however and will only steal eggs when it is certain the Rathian is not nearby.

Niche

The Kulu-Ya-Ku is relatively low in the food chain. While it could likely defend itself from smaller carnivores but anything larger represents a great threat. As such it has developed large grasping forearms so as to be able to carry large monster eggs, allowing it to fill its own unique Niche, as it will eat the eggs of any monster available to it.

Habitat

Kulu-Ya-Ku is found only in forest and desert environments, although it could easily be found in any environment with egg-laying animals, privided the temperature is not too extreme. It is likely that Kulu-Ya-Ku could survive in areas other than Volcanoes or Arctic regions.

Enrage. When Tzitzi-Ya-Ku starts its turn with half its maximum hit points (28) or less and has taken damage since its last turn, it enters a rage for a number of rounds equal to 1d4. While enraged, it gains immunity to exhaustion, has a +1 bonus to attack rolls, and rolls an extra damage die on melee attacks. When the rage

ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Pounce. If the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku moves 20 feet directly towards a creature and hits it with a kick attack on the same turn the creature must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku can make one Claw attack against it as a bonus action.

Actions

Multiattack. The Tzitzi-Ya-Ku makes two attacks: one with its claw and one with its kick or two with its claw.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage.

Kick: Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage.

Flash Crest. The Tzitzi-Ya-Ku generates a blinding flash in a 40 foot cone. Any creature in the area must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for one minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of its turn to end the condition on itself.

Physiology

Tzitzi-Ya-Ku is a medium-sized Bird Wyvern of navy blue coloration. It has long, powerful back legs, and muscular forelegs complete with three claws for grasping prey. Perhaps its most unique feature is the pair of retractable frills that line either side of its head, which are bright and vividly colorful in appearance. Its back is lined with a row of short spines, and it has wide sturdy feet.

Abilities

Tzitzi-Ya-Ku is able to emit bright flashes of light from the fins on the sides of its head. This can be used to disorient attackers and prey alike, allowing the monster to gain the upper hand in combat. Its powerful hind legs can be used to deliver potent kicks during battle.

Behaviour

This monster is comparatively low on the food chain, so it uses the dark coloration of its body to blend in and stalk its prey amongst the shadowy undergrowth of the Coral Highlands, far below the jurisdiction of the powerful Wyverns that rule the local ecosystem. When threatened by stronger monsters it will use it's flash attack to stun them then run away rapidly.

Habitat

Tzitzi-Ya-Ku is only found in the unique environment of the Coral Highlands, and is found nowhere else. However it is likely that it could survive in any habitat with small prey to sustain it, outside of the temperature extremes such as arctic or desert environments.

Physiology

Anjanath resembles a Tyrannosaurus; it has black and grey feathers on its back which coupled with its flesh-toned scales, make it look similar to the archetypal image of a vulture. Primarily pink in color, a dark pelt covers its back and ends in a ruff at the neck, leaving the head bald. Large fangs protrude from the monster's lower jaw, giving it the appearance of an under-bite. Anjanath's massive jaws are counterbalanced by its bulky tail, the underside of which is lined with quills. Compared to its powerful hind legs, the monster's forearms are extremely small. Hidden beneath the monster's pelt is a pair of dorsal sails, which only flare out at select moments. Anjanath can also unfold a prominent nasal crest, which it uses to mark its territory via mucus, sniff out prey, or indicate

heightened aggression. Once primed, the flame sac located in Anjanath's throat will glow a fiery red.

Behaviour and Abilities

Anjanath has powerful jaws that allow it to rip apart foes, along with a powerful nose used for smelling out prey. It also has the ability to breathe fire from its mouth utilizing an organ in its throat. Anjanath are relentless predators that will chase down anything that dares attack them.

Physiology

Banbaro is a large and heavy-set Brute Wyvern. Most of its body is covered in stout white fur, with portions on its head, legs, and arms being covered in gray scales. Its giant horns are its defining characteristic. These stout, pinkish horns end in broad, moose-like antlers. When enraged, a small horn-like projection emerges from its snout.

Abilities

Banbaro can use its large antlers to scoop up large amounts of debris when charging. It can then either throw this debris or use it to smash an enemy into the ground. The debris varies depending on the environment the Banbaro is in.

Behaviour

Banbaro is a peaceful herbivore and tends to ignore creatures it does not see as a threat. However, when large carnivorous monsters such as Beotodus are around, the Banbaro becomes quite agitated and aggressive. It behaves quite similarly to Barroth in this regard.

Niche

The Banbaro is a large, herbivorous monster, feeding on whatever plant matter is available in its frigid habitat. Despite its large size, it is actually towards the lower end of the food chain in its natural environment, due to the myriad of powerful predators that it shares its home with. It must be

Debris

The Debris that Banbaro can pick up in its Antlers during a Charge action varies depending on its environemnt.

• If the Banbaro is in a cold area, then creatures that fail the Dex save against its charge are afflicted with iceblight, and its Slam and Throw Debris attacks also inflict iceblight.

• In a volcanic area they inflict fireblight instead of iceblight

• In a forest with trees then the width of Banbaros charge is increased by 5 feet on each side.

• In a wet environment (swamp etc.) the charge, slam and throw inflict waterblight.

• In other environments (urban, desert, grassland) they simply do the damage in the description as the debris will be simple rocks or earth.

Shake (Costs 2 Actions). The Barroth uses its Mud Throw ability.

Physiology

Barroth is a large, bipedal monster characteristic of the Brute Wyvern class. It is noted for the large crown structure atop its skull, which houses its nostrils. Its body is covered in rigid plates of armored hide that help protect it from the harsh desert environment. Barroth possesses a pair of small red eyes and a mouthful of long, peg-shaped teeth.

Abilities

Barroth is capable of using its heavy head as a plow to smash through the environment, as well as cause damage to any living thing caught in its way. Because its nostrils are located on top of its head, Barroth can completely submerge itself in the cool mud during the scorching desert days.

Behaviour

Although docile when undisturbed, Barroth become extremely territorial when a creature interrupts its sleep. It will release an initial warning roar. If that fails,

it will continuously attack until the threat is exterminated. Barroth engage in exceptionally brutal fights when looking for bogs of their own. The bogs that Barroth prefer are rare in the desert, therefore these fights happen often. The breeding habits of the Barroth consist of males allowing numerous females to reside with them in their bogs before mating with them. After mating, the female will make a nest and lay ten or more eggs. After hatching, the young stay close to where they were born eating insects around their home until large enough to travel on their own.

Niche

Barroth mostly eat Neopteron such as Altaroth and Bnahabra. Extremely territorial, they will lie in wait underneath their bogs and lash out at anything that disturbs them. Due to their aggression and power, only the most powerful predators of the desert such as Tigrex, Brute Tigrex, Sand Barioth and Nibelsnarf would dare fight one. Despite coexsisting with such powerful predators, Barroth have been witnessed fighting and defeating Rathian.

While enraged, it gains immunity to exhaustion, has a +2 bonus to attack rolls, and rolls an extra damage die on melee attacks. Also, Brachydios' slime and blastblight takes only two rounds to detonate when enraged. When the rage ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Slime. All of the Brachydios' melee attacks inflict Blastblight. If the Brachydios misses an attack it leaves a 5 foot diameter puddle of slime within 5 feet of the original target. After 3 rounds the puddle explodes. Any creature within 5 feet of the puddle must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 27 (5d10) bludgeoning damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. The Brachydios loses this trait when it is exhausted or if the Brachydios is doused in water (such as by a Tsunami spell) until it takes an action to reapply it (cannot reapply until exhaustion ends). The DC to remove Blasblight caused by Brachydios is 18.

Actions

Multiattack. The Brachydios makes three attacks with its Brach Hammer.

Brach Hammer. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 18 (2d10 + 7) bludgeoning damage

and the target is afflicted by blastblight.

When a creature starts its turn in the area or when a creature first moves into the area on its turn they must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or be afflicted by blastblight. After 3 rounds this area explodes. Any creature in the area when it explodes must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take the damage of a normal slime detonation. On a success creatures take half damage.

Detonate (Recharge 5-6, Must be enraged). The Brachydios causes the ground around it to explode. All creatures within 20ft. of the brachydios must make a DC 18 dexterity saving throw taking 49 (14d6) fire damage on a failure, half damage on a success. Or the Brachydios causes a chain reaction of explosions in a 10ft wide, 30ft. long line. The effect is the same as the first effect.

Leap (Costs 2 Actions) The Brachydios leaps to a point it can see within 40 feet of it. If a creature is within range of it when it lands it can make one Brach Hammer attack.

Physiology

Brachydios are easily identifiable by their glowing, green slime-covered horns and "fists," as well as their shiny, armored hide covered in many plates and ridges that are made of obsidian. Unlike other Brute Wyverns, Brachydios sports a pair of long, highly developed forelimbs that it

uses as its primary means of defense. Brachydios' forelimbs and horn seem to secrete a mysterious slime. Brachydios "primes" this mucus to explode with its saliva, hence why it licks its arms, making it appear brighter green.Despite initial appearances, Brachydios does possess claws on its forearms that are tucked away underneath, and serve no apparent purpose in battle.

Duramboros' slow lifestyle often results in a layer of moss and algae growing upon its hide, most noticeably along the back.

Abilities

Duramboros is a herbivore, subsisting primarily on fallen tree trunks. Using its ram-like pair of horns, as well its hammer-like tail club, it is known to push or knock down weak or dead trees in order to comfortably feed on them. Though generally docile, Duramboros has a capacity for aggression if provoked. It is known to use its tail club, horns, and overall mass to attack foes. One of its most unique tendencies is to twirl in place, using its tail club as a counter-balance to build up momentum, allowing it to hurl itself at an attacker and crush them with its body.

This changes the state of its tail from Rusted to Sharpened or from Sharpened to Heated.

Slice (Costs 2 Actions) The Glavenus makes a Tail Slam attack.

Physiology

Glavenus is a large Brute Wyvern with dark red scales covering its body. Two rows of blue, bony plates run along its back, going from the eyes to the tail. Its underside is more of a cream color. The main feature of Glavenus's physiology

is its huge, sword-like tail. The tail is originally the same color as its back plates, although it will turn a rusty color or a fiery red during the battle. Its hind legs are powerful and muscular, while its front legs are much smaller and mostly useless. The face and mandibles are covered in sturdy plating, particularly resembling a Carnotaurus' head

Enrage When Uragaan starts its turn with half its maximum hit points (120) or less and has taken damage since its last turn, it enters a rage for a number of rounds equal to 1d8. While enraged, it gains immunity to exhaustion, has a +2 bonus to attack rolls, and rolls an extra damage die on melee attacks. When the rage ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Roll. When the Uragaan takes the Dash action it rolls itself into a ball. While rolling the Uragaan has an AC of 21. The first time the Uragaan moves through a creature's space while rolling, the creature must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take 17 (2d10 + 6) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. On a success a target takes half damage and is not knocked prone. At the end of the movement the Uragaan can make a Chin Slam against a target within range.

Actions

Multiattack. The Uragaan makes two chin slam attacks.

Chin Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 19 (2d12 + 6) bludgeoning damage and the target must succeed on a DC 16 Strength saving throw or

be knocked prone. Any blast stones within 30 ft. of the Uragaan when it makes this attack detonate.

Tail Swipe (Recharge 5-6). The Uragaan swipes its tail along the ground, dislodging molten rock from its body. Any creature within 5 ft of the Uragaan must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage. 3 blast stones appear within 30 ft of the Uragaan in spaces it chooses. When the Uragaan makes its chin slam attack, the stones detonate. Any creature within 10 ft of the stone must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take 28 (8d6) fire damage. On a success creatures take half damage.

Emit Gas (Recharge 5-6). The Uragaan emits a tranquillizing gas from its body. All creatures within 5ft of the Uragaan must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be knocked unconscious for 1 minute ,until they take damage or until another creature takes an action to shake them awake. When enraged this gas instead requires a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, deals 22 (4d10) fire damage and inflicts fireblight on a failed save. Targets take half damage and are not afflicted by fireblight on a success.

Legendary Action

The Uragaan can take 3 Legendary Actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature's turn. Spent legendary actions are regained at the start of each of its turns.

Move The Uragaan moves up to double its movement spped. It can use its Roll for this.

Crush (Costs 2 Actions) The Uragaan makes a Chin Slam attack.

Minefield (Costs 2 Actions) The Uragaan uses the Tail Swipe action if available.

Roar (Costs 3 Actions). The Uragaan roars loudly. Any creature within 10 feet of the Uragaan must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be deafened until the end of their next turn. A creature maintaining concentration in the area must also make a Concentration check of the same DC. It can then make two chin slam attacks, but not against the same target. Each attack deals half damage.

Physiology

Uragaan is covered in a lustrous gold-colored hide. Its back is lined with hard crystals and its chin is plated with a rock-like shell. Its underbelly is covered in a sticky, tar-like substance which it uses to affix explosive rocks to itself.

Abilities

Uragaan's signature ability is to roll its body into a wheel to increase its speed and agility. It will do this often in an

attempt to crush the hunter. It can also produce sleep gas or, when enraged, emit flames, much like Gravios. This will put Hunters to sleep or inflict Fireblight. The effect depends on the color: ghost-blue or red-orange respectively. Uragaan will use its large jaw to attack, primarily by slamming it into the ground. It may also attack with a wide tail sweep, which flings explosive rocks into the area. If this has been done, the next time Uragaan uses a heavy jaw smash, all explosive rocks in the area will explode

While enraged, it gains immunity to exhaustion, has a +1 bonus to attack rolls, and rolls an extra damage die on melee attacks. When the rage ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. It cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Hermit Shell. If the Daimyo Hermitaur takes 50 or more bludgeoning damage in one round , it's shell breaks. When its shell breaks, the Daimyo Hermitaur's AC becomes 16 and it can't use the Erupt or Shell Block action. If the Daimyo Hermitaur burrows it can use an action to try and find another shell. Roll a d100 and on a 50 or higher it finds a new monster skull to use as a shell.

Actions

Multiattack. The Daimyo Hermitaur makes two claw attacks.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage damage and the target is grappled (Escape DC 16). The Daimyo Hermitaur has two claws, each of which can only grapple one target.

Water Spout (Recharge 4-6). The Daimyo Hermitaur spits pressurized water in a 10 ft wide, 20 ft long line. Any creature in the area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw taking 27 (6d8) bludgeoning damage and being afflicted by Waterblight until the end of their next turn on a failed save. On a success creatures only take half damage.

Erupt. If the Daimyo Hermitaur is underground, it can erupt shell-first from the ground. Any creature above the Daimyo Hermitaur when it emerges must succeed on a DC 16 dexterity saving throw or take 28 (8d6) piercing damage and be knocked prone. On a success, creatures take half damage and are not knocked prone.

Reactions

Shell Block. The Daimyo Hermitaur can use its reaction when targeted by a ranged or melee attack roll to retract further into its shell and bring it's claws up to guard. Until the start of its next turn the Daimyo Hermitaur's AC becomes 22, it has immunity to being knocked prone and resistance to all damage except thunder, it's movement becomes 0 and it automatically fails dexterity saving throws. This affect ends if the Daimyo Hermitaur takes thunder damage.

Physiology

Daimyo Hermitaur has a large, crab-like body. It is covered in a red and white carapace and wears the skull of a Monoblos as a protective shell. It has broad, shield-like claws and long antennae.

Abilities

It can use its claws as shields to defend itself from attackers, and, as with the Monoblos, can also use them to dig into the earth in order to attack foes from below. It can shoot pressurized jets of water and can use its massive weight to crush enemies.

Behaviour

Despite their size, Daimyo Hermitaur are fairly calm, when undisturbed. However, Daimyo Hermitaur will turn aggressive if they feel threatened or attacked. Most of time, they can be seen foraging for food as they roam around their environment.

Niche

Daimyo Hermitaur primarily feed on smaller creatures and other resources for survival, including carrion and rarely humans. Though they prey on other creatures, Daimyo Hermitaur can sometimes serve as prey for monsters, although it is rare that a monster can breach its defenses.

While enraged, it gains immunity to exhaustion, has a +1 bonus to attack rolls, and rolls an extra damage die on melee attacks. It's claws also fully extend. This increases the reach of its claws to 10 ft, makes them deal slashing damage, and targets hit must make a DC 16 constitution saving throw or start Bleeding for 1 minute. When the rage ends, the monster gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. The Shogun Ceanataur cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Spider Climb. The Shogun Ceanataur can climb on any surface, including upside down on ceilings, without making an ability check

Actions

Multiattack. The Shogun Ceanataur makes two claw attacks

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 17 (2d12 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

Clothes Line (Recharge 4-6). The Shogun Ceanataur walks its full movement forward with its claws held out. This increases its width by the reach of its claws. Any creature the Shogun Ceanataur walks through the space of must make DC 16 dexterity saving throw. On a failed save creatures take 17 (2d12 + 2) bludgeoning damage and are knocked prone. On a success creatures take half damage and are not knocked prone. While enraged, this action gains the same benefits as its claws.

Water Blast (Recharge 5-6). The Shogun Ceanataur fires a pressurized stream of water at a point it can see within 40 feet of it. All creatures within 5 ft of the point must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw taking 31 (9d6) bludgeoning damage and being afflicted by Waterblight until the end of their next turn on a failed save. On a success, creatures only take half damage.

Physiology

Shogun Ceanataur's body is covered in a blue carapace. Its head is long and knife-shaped, and features a pair of lengthy antennae. Its folding claws act as sickles, and in rage mode are fully extended, adding a significant amount of range to its reach. Shogun Ceanataur is known to inhabit a variety of shells, among them: A Gravios skull, a snail-like shell, and a skull belonging to an unknown wyvern.

Abilities

Shogun Ceanataur is capable of firing a stream of pressurized water from its shell. In addition, it is able to climb

on walls and ceilings, and can extend and retract its scythe-like claws.

Behavior

Each Shogun Ceanataur has their own personality. Some are more aggressive than others. When undisturbed, Shogun Ceanataur are usually fairly calm, however, if threatened, they will turn aggressive in an instant. They’ll unsheath their claws and will attempt to kill a foe. If the skull on Shogun Ceanataur's backside is broken, it'll immediately go looking for another one, so it can protect its vulnerable bottom.

Niche

Shogun Ceanataur are somewhat high in the food chain. They primarily feed on small creatures that live in dark environments like shrimp and insects, but will also feed on carrion. Despite this, they can more than hold their own against larger species.

Tremor Step. Whenever the Shen Gaoren moves, any creature within 5ft., must succeed on a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.

Enrage. When Shen Gaoren starts its turn with half its maximum hit points (200) or less and has taken damage since its last turn, it enters a rage for a number of rounds equal to 1d8. While enraged, it has a +3 bonus to attack rolls, and rolls an extra damage die on melee attacks. When the rage ends, it gains 3 levels of exhaustion. Subsequent rages do not increase its exhaustion level over 3. When the rage ends Shen Gaoren cannot re-enter rage for 2d4 rounds.

Long Legs. If the Shen Gaoren crouches its size changes to Huge until it stands tall again. If the Shen Gaoren takes 70 bludgeoning, piercing or slashing damage in one turn the Shen Gaoren falls prone.

Actions

Multiattack. The Shen Gaoren makes three melee attacks or three ranged attacks.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, Reach 15ft., one target. Hit 30 (4d10 + 9) bludgeoning damage and the target is grappled (Escape DC 20). The Shen Gaoren has two claws, each of which can grapple only one target.

Stomp. Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, Reach 15ft., one target. Hit 25 (3d10 + 9) bludgeoning damage. All creatures within 5 feet of the target including the target if they are size large or smaller must succeed on a DC 20 Strength saving throw or fall prone.

Legendary Actions

Shen Gaoren can take 3 Legendary Actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature's turn. Spent legendary actions are regained at the start of each of its turns.

Move The Shen Gaoren moves up to its movement speed without proviking attacks of opportunity.

Crush (Costs 2 Actions). The Shen Gaoren crushes a creature its grappling. The creature must make a DC 20 Strength saving throw, taking 36 (6d8 + 9) bludgeoning damage on a failed save. On a success the creature takes half damage.

Physiology

Identifiable by their grey skin, towering legs and the gigantic green-yellow balls of acid that they generate and hurl from the rear of their bodies. Shen Gaoren are so large they use a Lao-Shan Lung skull for protection. Their colossal size helps them to defeat most creatures. The diet of Shen Gaoren is unknown; however, it is likely to be omnivorous, like most crabs.

Abilities

Shen Gaoren is able to fire large globs of acidic fluid from their back, which they use to soften the armour of their enemies. Due to their immense size, Shen Gaoren's main

weapon is to either simply step on smaller creatures or crush them in its immense claws. Unlike Lao-Shan Lung, Shen Gaoren will often attack agressors rather than simply ignoring them, which makes it a lot more dangerous for those hunting it.

Behaviour

Shen Gaorens are relatively passive by nature. They move about without noticing hunters; however, when enraged, it may attempt to attack hunters by using their huge sturdy claws or by moving their legs and pincers wildly. It was recently discovered that Shen Gaoren attack villages and cities because they are in its territory. Shen Gaoren were found to attack any foe that pose any threat to them, showing that these passive giants can be aggressive when they feel that their life is in danger. When Shen Gaoren get old enough, or injured in battle, they'll molt.

Physiology

Alatreon are monsters capable of destroying the world. Some locals even believe that the Alatreon is a god or demon which is transformed into an Elder Dragon.

Abilities

Alatreon is elementally unstable, possessing control over the Dragon, Fire, Thunder, and Ice elements. Alatreon will only use the Ice and Thunder elements while in the air. It is said that it has the abilities of all the True Elder Dragons (Kushala Daora, Chameleos, Lunastra and Teostra), although, since it is elementally unstable, it is unable to truly harness that power.

It has the ability to call lightning down much like White Fatalis, Fire columns of fire at its enemies, cause massive shards of ice to rain from the air or simply empower its own strikes with the Dragon Element.

Behaviour

Alatreons are very territorial. This may be the reason why no other monsters live in the Sacred Land, the area it calls its home. Alatreon might attack most of its prey from the air, giving it an advantage over most other monsters. It also is very aggressive towards flying objects, mainly airships.

Biology

An Alatreon's average size is 3105.8cm. Known as the Blazing Black Dragon, Alatreon possesses control over the Dragon, Fire, Thunder, and Ice elements, and is said to be elementally unstable. In its scales are each of the four elements which it constantly produces, even when it is dead. However, it is unknown how its scales are able to harness the elements. If its scales weren't deadly enough, they are also extra sharp, comparable to a blade. These backward-facing scales can rip into the flesh of those that dare attack Alatreon while its shell repels attacks from enemies. On top of Alatreon's head are two large horns that can break through some of the toughest rocks. Like most other Elder Dragons, these horns seem to play some part in Alatreon's control over the four elements, however, it is unknown to the Guild if they do. Many of Alatreon's abilities seem to be unnatural, much like the Fatalis, but not much else is really known about the Elder Dragon.

Niche

From Alatreon living isolated from all other monsters, it is hard to say where it fits in the ecological niche.

Due to Alatreon living in the Sacred Land, it has changed the area into an inhospitable environment. No living things, including plants, can live in the area due to the constant weather changes that occur in the Sacred Land.

Habitat

Alatreon tend to live within volcanoes, where they are isolated from other creatures.

Alatreon's Lair

The Alatreon's lair is in constant turmoil as the Alatreon's mere presence sends the weather into a freak storm. The monster itself tends to remain deep within a volcano or on a remote island where all vegetation has died due to the storms.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Alatreon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Alatreon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• A 5 foot radius, 40 foot tall Geyser of lava erupts from a point the Alatreon can see within 60 feet of it. A creature in the area must make a DC 18 Dexterirty saving throw taking 36 (8d8) fire damage on a failed save. On a success creatures take half damage.
• A large shard of ice falls on a creature the Alatreon can see. The creature must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take 22 (4d10) piercing damage and 10 (3d6) cold damage and be restrained until the end of their next turn. A successful DC 15 Strength check as an action ends the restrained condition.
• A bolt of lightning strikes a point within 120 feet of the Alateeon. Any creature within 5 feet of the point must succeed on a DC 18 Dexteritry saving throw or take 38 (7d10) lightning damage

Regional Effects

The region containing a legendary Alatreon’s lair is affected by its elemental instability, which creates one or more of the following effects:

• The area around an Altreon's lair is racked by freak weather for miles around. One day there may be a catastrophic thunderstorm, another raging wildfires and extreme heat and the next freezing hailstorm and snow as temperatures plummet.
• Due to the irrational weather, settlements within 5 miles of the Alatreon's lair may be abandoned, crops will fail, plant life will die and wildlife will flee or be killed.

If the Alatreon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d4 days.

Physiology

Amatsu have a unique body structure. The head itself is quite small, though it is adorned with massive golden horns, flanked by tendrils of flesh. Amatsu's body is largely pale white in color, and covered entirely in fins that stretch along all four limbs. From its back rise more pointed fins, whereas its underside is grey and scaled. Because it flies through the air and spends no time on land, Amatsu has almost vestigial feet and small, nearly useless back legs. The front legs are bordered by more white fins. When enraged, red veins stand out more prominently in its wing membranes, and when near death, its chest, horns and eyes shine with a faint golden luminescence.

Abilities

In battle, Amatsu hovers above the ground. Its movements are reminiscent of fighting the Leviathans underwater. It also has a wind barrier around its body, but unlike Kushala Daora's wind barrier, it cannot blow the hunter over. However, ranged attacks are less reliable while the barrier is active. The barrier is also less stable than Daora's, as it temporarily disappears when Amatsu uses its Vortex ability. One of its most dangerous attacks is when it creates a small twister that begins to suck in nearby creatures, then hits them hard with a tornado-shrouded charge. When weakened enough, Amatsu uses its other most powerful move: it flies high into the air and uses three massive water beams. The attack consists of two parts; the beams themselves will strike the ground, and then the areas where the ground was struck explode with water.

Behaviour

Living mainly in the sky and mountain tops, the Amatsu is a mainly passive Elder Dragon, but the frequency that it creates storms is dependent on its mood. It does not take kindly to anything invading its airspace, as it will shoot down airships etc that enter the area. When truly angered, it does not calm down easily. It is also known to take claim of a resting ground for its territory going as far as chasing out predators as powerful as groups of Zinogre if it wants their home as its own.

Niche

Like most other Elder Dragons, Amatsu's role in the ecological niche is unknown. However it can be assumed to be at the top if not cose to it, as it scares Apex predators such as Zinogre.

Biology

The average size of an Amatsu is 3133.8cm. The Amatsu has a large number of fins and wings along its body, which contribute to its ability to fly smoothly through the air. Its horns are large compared to the size of its head, much closer to the size of the fins. These horns show that nothing will attack Amatsu due to its sheer power. Its forearms are long, they are slender and designed for flight, not for walking. The amount of webbing in its fins and wings makes the Amatsu seem larger than it actually is, as they billow out in the wind. Its actual body structure is very close to a Leviathan, long and curvy, with small back legs and a fairly large tail. Its control over storms surpasses even that of Kushala Daora, this power comes from a unique jade colored organ called the "Storm Vesicle". This organ stores large amounts of water and is how Amatsu is able to produce its terrifying storms. Its most deadly form of attack is a massive beam of wind and water fired from its mouth; when the beam hits the ground, it releases a torrent of water on anything nearby the point of impact.

Once a Amatsu dies, the storm it made will dissipate within seconds. Showing this unique hard jade colored organ has great power.

Habitat

The Amatsu has only ever been seen in the Sacred Pinnacle, at the top of very tall mountains.

Amatsu's Lair

The Amatsu makes its lair at the top of a tall mountain, called the Sacred Pinnacle. The area within 5 miles of the mountaintop is wracked by powerful storms. While within its lair the Amatsu is CR 26.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Amatsu takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Amatsu can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• A bolt of lightning crashes to the ground at a point the Amatsu can see within 120 feet of it. Any creature within 5ft. of this point must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 27 (5d10) lightning damage.
• A crash of thunder sounds across the battlefield. Any creature that can hear within a mile of the Amatsu's lair must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) thunder damage and be deafened until the end of their turn.
• A large gust of wind sweeps across the battlefield. The gust of wind spell is cast from a point within 60 feet of the Amatsu and persists for one round.

Physiology

Ceadeus resembles a giant whale with a face similar to a Dunkleosteus. It has a prominent beard of fur and two massive horns, which constantly grow and eventually overtake the creature’s eyes, leaving it blind. Luminous organs line the monster's underside, which turn from blue to red when it is enraged.

Abilities

The Ceadeus makes use of its large body size to crush creatures that would do it harm. It can also fire an extremely powerful torrent of water from its mouth that is capable of cutting straight through stone.

Behaviour

The Ceadeus is known to be a rather peaceful creature until provoked. It won't take notice of hunters until it is greatly damaged by them. If Ceadeus is provoked, it'll try to kill its enemy with its immense strength.

Niche

It is unknown what the feeding habits of a Ceadeus is, like most other Elder Dragons, so it is hard to say where it fits in the ecological niche. Recently, it was discovered that young Ceadeus only have one known predator, Nakarkos. This predator is believed to also become a food source for adult Ceadeus, albeit a highly dangerous one due to its ability to exploit the Dragon element

Biology

Ceadeus is up to 5837.2cm in length. Ceadeus has a special relationship with an algae, which is the reason why it has its beard. It farms for the algae with its beard and uses the glow from the luminous bacteria as a form of photosynthesis. With this algae, Ceadeus can spend longer times under the depths without having to come up for air. When it needs air, it will swim up with a burst of speed and jump out of the water for a breath. It is estimated a Ceadeus can hold its breath for about several months. Ceadeus has powerful fins and a tail fin designed for swimming in the sea with both power and grace. The horns of a Ceadeus never stop growing, and at times, the Elder Dragon will grind them against the sea floor, with enough force to produce earthquakes and tsunamis. It is believed that this behavior resulted in the destruction of an island on at least one occasion. Throughout their years, Ceadeus are able to use an organ called the Luminous Organ. This organ is used to help farm the algae it uses to breath. The luminous bacteria on its body reacts to the organ by reflecting the light.

Habitat

The Ceadeus lives exclusively in the ocean. It spends most of its time deep in the ocean feeding, however it comes up for air every few months. It will also venture close to shore in order to rub its horns on rock to help deal with their constant growth.

This however can cause earthquakes and tsunamis because of the creatures immense strength, leading to it being hunted for people's safety.

Subspecies

The only known subspecies of the Ceadeus is the Goldbeard Ceadeus, which is not really a subspecies but simply a very old Ceadeus. The golden colour comes from the bacteria having matured and spreading along its entire body. The Goldbeard is effectively blind, as its horns have grown so large that they now cover its eyes, yet it is still capable of sensing its surroundings.

Physiology

Chameleos's body is covered by a purple and white hide, and its head ends with a protruding horn at the tip of its nose. Its eyes are similar to a real life chameleon's; large and orb-like, with the ability to control eye movement individually. The long and elastic tongue can extend to grasp and steal items from a distance. Its wings are a purple color with a grayish white membrane, and are used for flight and controlling the direction of its poison fog. Chameleos's large tail is reminiscent of a leaf and has a curled, spiraling tip.

Abilities

Chameleos has the ability to camouflage itself by using the electric currents running through its skin, refracting light in the mist and thus making its body invisible. This camouflaging ability is disabled if its horn is broken, and the tail severed. Known for using mist for protection, Chameleos's breath can create a thick fog to impair visibility as well as form dangerous toxic clouds. The stretching tongue is adept at stealing items from hunters. It can also spit out acid blobs to reduce defense, and expel gas that inflicts stamina-lowering fatigue.

Behaviour

Chameleos are very intelligent creatures. They will wait patiently at a spot of importance such as a water source or natural crossroads, waiting for prey to pass by. Chameleos are well known for stealing items from hunters. Chameleos do this in order for the hunter to lose motivation in hunting them down.

Niche

Chameleos are ambush hunters, waiting patiently for prey to pass by while they blend perfectly into their surroundings. Chameleos can and will eat almost anything, and can use different tactics to take down varying sizes of prey. Should its prey be a Neopteron such as a Vespoid, Altaroth, Bnahabra, or Konchu it will simply snatch it out of the air using its long sticky tongue. If it is a supply camp, it'll steal with each opportunity it gets.

Biology

Chameleos are different from other Elder Dragons, as they are not nearly as "elegant" in their appearance as other Elder Dragon species. Chameleos have a number of biological adaptations that make them extremely unique. Most notably is the Chameleos's trademark camouflage mechanism. Each species of Chameleos has a different way of camouflaging itself.

By generating a weak electric current in its skin that interacts with the mist it can breathe, the Elder Dragon can bend light around itself, rendering it effectively invisible. Some Chameleos use special ore to enable their camouflage. This illusion is not, however, perfect; If Chameleos sustains significant damage or dismemberment to its tail and or horn, it can lose this ability altogether. Chameleos have independently moving eyeballs that protrude from the sides of its head to create a wider field of vision. Chameleos have several nasty defenses should it ever come under attack. Its acid is incredibly potent, capable of dissolving all but rock. For hunters this often means severe armor degradation. They possess an extremely strong poison, which can be released from its mouth at will and often whipped into a thick cloud by the dragon's wings. Finally, it can exhale large amounts of mist to further hinder the vision of hunters, allowing it to either make a swift getaway or launch a surprise attack with ease.

Chameleos' Lair

The Chameleos makes its lair deep in the heart of jungles and forests where very few creatures can reach. Its lair is always hidden by mist and the Chameleos' presence makes tracking and travelling near its lair very difficult. A Chameleos is CR 22 in its lair.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Chameleos takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Chameleos can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

-The Chameleos causes the entire area to fill with a light mist. The area is lightly obscured and sound is muffled for all creatures except the Chameleos. Affected creatures have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight or hearing until initiative count 20 on the next turn.

-The Chameleos causes a 20ft. radius pool of poison to form in an area it can see within 120 ft of it. Any creature that starts its turn in or enters the pool on its turn must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned as though by the Chameleos' poison gas ability. The pool lasts until initiative count 20 the following round.

-If there is a cloud of poison gas within 60 feet of the Chameleos it can pull it 30 feet towards itself. Any creature that the cloud passes through is subject to the effects of the cloud.

Regional Effects

The region containing a Chameleos’ lair is filled with the mist it uses to hide, which creates one or more of the following effects:

-The area within 1-5 miles of the Chameleos' lair is lightly obscured by mist at all times regardless of weather.

-All creatures within the area find it very difficult to get their bearings. Any creature within 5 miles of the Chameleos' lair have disadvantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks.

-A Rangers Natural Explorer trait is negated while within 5 miles of the Chameleos' lair.

If the Chameleos dies, the mist fade over the course of 2d6 days, while the other effects fade immediately.

Physiology

Dah'ren Mohran is a large, whale-like dragon that is covered in armor plating. Unlike its relative, Jhen Mohran, its body is jagged and sharp, with spine-like protrusions on the forelegs and back. In addition, Dah'ren Mohran's face features a single gigantic, knife-like horn that extends several meters from its head rather than the pair of horn-like tusks found on Jhen Mohran.

Behaviour

Dah'ren Mohran are a lot more aggressive than Jhen Mohran. They are actively aggressive and will attempt to kill anything that threatens their life. Dah'ren Mohran are even willing to destroy whole towns if attacked by sand ships.

Niche

An adult Dah'ren Mohran is at the top of the food chain in the Great Desert. Like the Jhen Mohran, these Elder Dragons use their massive mouths to filter in any type of nutrients found within the sands.

Biology

A fully grown Dah'ren Mohran can grow up to 11446.5cm long, even longer than a Jhen Mohran. Unlike the Jhen Mohran, that have two massive tusks, the Dah'ren Mohran have only a titanic singular horn. They use this horn for obliterating any objects that are in the way while swimming through the sand. The horn of a Dah'ren Mohran is also used as a drill when the creature spins its body in a spiral-like motion. Over the years, the horn will harden in an extraordinary fashion and will become powerful enough to pierce through any substance. Due to swimming in the desert sands all their lives, many different types of minerals and ores have formed onto the Elder Dragon's body. The ores and minerals give a Dah'ren Mohran's scales their rusty reddish coloration. Dah'ren Mohran have a blowhole, similar to whales. This blowhole is used to expel minerals from outside their body along with shoot large clumps of sand from their body. These clumps can be used as projectiles against predators and ships if Dah'ren Mohran is threatened.

Habitat

Dah'ren Mohran lives exclusively in massive deserts, where it spends the majority of its life underneath the sand eating ore and other minerals, as well as any nutrients in the sand itself.

Subspecies

Although Dah'ren Mohran has no known subspecies, it is extremely closely related to Dah'ren Mohran and its subspecies, Hallowed Dah'ren Mohran. These species are functionally identical to Dah'ren Mohran in all ways, except instead of having a single largr horn they have two large tusks. They also tend to be less aggressive than their one horned cousin. Hallowed Jhen Mohran is also lined with purple crystaline structures due to its time "swimming" much deeper in the earth and being subjected to much higher pressures.

Physiology

Its appearance is similar to Najarala in terms of body type. It has a snake-like face, with bright red eyes, numerous fangs, and many hook-like spikes along its body which start out clustered around its head and neck, and becoming more spread out along its long body, with a small cluster near the tip of its tail, which is topped with a pair of red barbs that it can rattle in a manner similar to rattlesnakes. Its has a pair of large clawed forearms like Najarala, but the only remnant of hind legs it has are small spurs, similar to pythons, boas, and anacondas. Its chest has glowing vents, which huff steam when it is enraged. Its face and tail will also glow red when in its Raged state.

Abilities

It is capable of using Fire to attack, and can shoot bright blue balls of flame at the hunters, as well as summoning meteors, similar to Dire Miralis. When enraged it will use a powerful Flamethrower-like attack, first firing straight at the area and then with a sweeping blast, similar to Ceadeus' water blast.

Behaviour

Dalamadur are quite aggressive in nature, willing to destroy hunters at all cost. Though slow, Dalamadur can easily destroy whole mountains with their coils and cause pieces of rumble to fall from them. For unknown reasons, large numbers of Dalamadur are known to raise from underground during certain times of the year, which is usually when Shah Dalamadur are known to appear (Dalamadur which have recently shed their skin).

Biology

This massive serpentine beast possesses two powerful clawed forearms that are used for support, climbing, and burrowing in its mountainous environment. The claws on each hand are powerful enough to cause entire mountain spires to collapse with a single strike. While they still possess forelegs, Dalamadur have gradually lost their back legs and all that remains are two small spurs, similar to those of anacondas or pythons. The forked snake-like tongue of a Dalamadur has paralyzing properties that can easily immobilize hunters. Dalamadur are also capable of spewing an unknown fiery substance from their maws. On the chest of these beasts are vents that glow and huff steam when enraged, hinting at incredibly high internal temperatures. One ability that can't be explained about Dalamadur is its ability to summon meteors. It is unknown how it is able to summon meteors, but this is being researched.

Niche

It is unknown what the feeding habits of a Dalamadur is, like most other Elder Dragons, so it is hard to say where it fits in the ecological niche.

Habitat

Dalamadur makes its home at the highest peaks of Mountains. Occasionally, these monsters can be seen in the Forests. Upon death, it will become a habitat itself, due to the immense size of adults.

Dalamadur's Lair

Dalamdur makes its lair within the largest mountain in the region by carving out enormous caverns where it can comfortably fit. A Dalamadur's presence is generally easy to notice due to this digging.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Dalamdur takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Dalamdur can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• The Dalamadur causes a 20 foot square it can see within 120 feet of it to quake. Any creature in the area must succeed on a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.
• Large chunks of rock fall at a point within 120 feet of Dalamadur. Any creature within 10 feet of the point must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 33 (6d10) bludgeoning damage on a failed save, half as much on a success.

Regional Effects

The area srrounding a Dalamadur's lair is often wracked by destruction as the enormous creature moves around the area.

• The Dalamadur creates sprawling caves through mountains and can even level them. Mountains surrounding a Dalamadur's lairs will be littered with enormous caverns and might collapse randomly.
• As the Dalamadur moves around underground, its sheer size can create earthquakes. Areas around the Dalamadur's lair may experience earthquakes at random, which themselves may cause other problems, such as landslides or volcanic eruptions, depending on the area.

Physiology

Dire Miralis is a very large, semi-aquatic Elder Dragon. Its body structure is reminiscent of Fatalis, with relatively short limbs and a long tail and neck. Its body is filled with a magma-like substance which pools at the base of the tail, the chest, and at each shoulder. Each of these pools directs magma flow to certain parts of the body. On its back are a pair of wing-like appendages. Seemingly useless in terms of flight, these "wings" feature cannon-like chutes which can extrude globules of magma, both as a means of defense and as a way to jettison excess magma. Dire Miralis's head features a frill-like structure and an upturned snout.

Abilities

Dire Miralis is unique; it can shoot magma balls out of its highly specialized wing plates, which fly into the air and land explosively around the area. Dire Miralis can also be fought both on land and underwater, frequently changing between the two. It is known to use its massive, heavy tail to crush and smack opponents.

Behaviour

Dire Miralis is extremely hostile to all living things and can destroy an entire ecosystem just from its intense heat. A Dire Miralis actually destroyed the Tainted Sea and killed all living things in the area, filling the water with blood, until it was driven off in ancient times. This monster is one that many hunters don't live to tell about.

Niche

Dire Miralis has never been seen to interact with other monsters. However, from the way its teeth are designed it could be assumed that Dire Miralis is of a carnivorous nature.

Biology

The overall body shape of Dire Miralis is very similar to the stance of Fatalis. However, unlike Fatalis, this monster lacks the ability to fly, though it has wings. The wings of Dire Miralis have formed into specialized plates that releases magma, ejecting it into the atmosphere. This allows for Dire Miralis to summon meteors from the sky, raining down on all foes around it. Due to the hot fluids inside of Dire Miralis, an intense heat is known to come from its body, boiling any sources of water around it. This intense heat can easily wipe out all living creatures within Dire Miralis's range.

Interestingly, long after a Dire Miralis dies, its heart continues to beat even if removed--just as legend states. It is said that Dire Miralis can regenerate its whole body with its heart alone, and that Dire Miralis is even immortal.

Habitat

Dire Miralis has only been encountered in the Tainted Sea, but it is said in old tales that the Dire Miralis may venture to islands causing total destruction as far as sinking small islands.

Dire Miralis' Lair

Dire Miralis makes its lair in the Tainted Sea, a large sea that has been completely boiled over time due to the immense body heat of the Dire Miralis.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Dire Miralis takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Dire Miralis can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• The Dire Miralis causes the water around itself to boil. Any creature within 40 feet of the Dire Miralis and partially submerged in water must make a DC 22 Constitution saving throw, taking 33 (6d10) fire damage on a failed save, half as much on a success. Being submerged in water does not grant resistance to this damage.
• The Dire Miralis causes the Water around itself to become so hot it begins evaporating.Creatures who end their turn within 5 feet of the Dire Miralis automatically take 33 (6d10) fire damage. Being submerged in water does not grant resistance to this damage. The Dire Miralis is also heavily obscured until the steam dissipates at the start of the next round. The Steam can be dispersed by a wind of sufficient speed.
• A meteor falls from the sky on a creature that the Dire Miralis can see within 100 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw, taking 36 (8d8) budgeoning damage on a failed save, half as much on a success.

Regional Effects

The region containing a Dire Miralis' lair has completely boiled. The ocean is full of blood as every other living creature has lng since died as it slowly boiled alive. The lair itself is relatively empty, as Dire Miralis rarely shows itself, allowing ships to pass through relatively easily

• The region containing a Dire Miralis' lair is earily quiet and unsettling. Creatures have disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws while within the Tainted Sea.
• All water in the tainted sea is slightly boiling. Any creature that starts its turn in the water takes 7 (2d6) fire damage. Being submerged in water does not grant resistance to this damage.

If the Dire Miralis dies, these effects may take months to end, as an ecosystem tries to establish itself after the devastation to the habitat.

Physiology

Fatalis is a traditional black dragon, with a long, serpentine neck and tail, along with a pair of large wings. Its body is covered in rigid black scales and lined with white spines. Its head features four backwards-facing horns and a row of enlarged bottom teeth.

Abilities

Fatalis is an extremely powerful monster, able to wipe out entire hunting parties with relative ease. Its primary means of defence is its ability to breathe a stream of fire and launch flaming projectiles, which explode upon impact. It is also able to release a cloud of flammable dust, similar to Teostra, and set it alight. It is known to use its whip-like tail to batter enemies, and its powerful bone crushing jaws to bite at nearby attackers.

Behaviour

Fatalis is extremely hostile to all living things. It threatens the very existence of not only the Castle Schrade, but the very world around it. In legend, it is said Fatalis could scorch the whole world with its flames in a few days, burning all lands to a crisp. Due to this, the Guild will secretly send hunters to hunt it down to prevent public panic. However, most hunters never return. Due to many incidents surrounding Schrade Kingdom and Fatalis, the Hunter's Guild has classified everything about both away from the public. Fatalis's armor and quest are only allowed to those that have proven they are quite credible. For those hunters that are trying to reach new heights of power, Fatalis is also looked at as A Hunter's Ultimate Goal.

Disturbingly, it is said that Fatalis melts the remains of fallen Hunters together and wears them as armor- a practice that can only be described as a mockery of how hunters use monster parts for equipment. While it is possible this behavior is purely instinctive in the same sense as the Nerscylla's habit of wearing the hides of its prey, witnesses have claimed that the process is thorough and deliberate enough to be called intentional on the Elder Dragon's part. Should this be true, it would mean Fatalis possesses both great intelligence and an unfathomable hatred of humankind.

Niche

In legend, it is said that all living things fear Fatalis, including other Elder Dragons, such as Teostra and Lao-Shan Lung.

All monsters are said to try to avoid Fatalis at all costs, leading to some leaving areas altogether simply to avoid it.

Biology

The Fatalis is a powerful, unnatural beast. The Fatalis's scales are extremely thick, while its shell is very durable. This is due to Fatalis melting the armor of its fallen prey on its shell, increasing its protection against some attacks. Fatalis doesn't seem to have very good eyesight, though this maybe partially be due to what its eyes are made of. Creepily, a Fatalis's eyes are made out of crystals. It is unknown how the Fatalis is able to see, considering this eerie feature. Fatalis's wing membrane is flexible, but as hard as metal. From this, Fatalis's wings don't break very easily, allowing it to fly at high speeds and support itself as it becomes airborne. Even on the ground, Fatalis is able to walk on all fours and rush prey at shocking speeds with sheer power behind its bulk. The most powerful feature is its powerful fiery breath. This fire is some of the strongest fire breath out of all monsters and can kill most enemies almost instantly. Recent encounters have revealed that Fatalis possess control over fire on par with Teostra and Lunastra. Its fire breath extends well beyond the length and height of the already large dragon and it can also release a reactive powder as well. This powder is more expansive than Teostra's and can be ignited. The exact workings of Fatalis's explosive attacks is still unknown. The Fatalis also possesses the extremely rare and deadly Dragon Element.

One thing that all the legends share about Fatalis is its equipment. This equipment is much more than what it appears to be. When hunters wear this monster's armor, they are known to disappear mysteriously without a trace or even die if the armor is worn for too long. Some who have worn the Fatalis's armor report having terrible nightmares, unsettling strength, and a feeling as if they were being possessed by something. They also report feeling a familiar pulse coming from the armor, a feeling as if their legs were taken from them. With some hunters wearing the armor of the Black Flame, they report feeling as if their body was taken over while they were unconscious. It is said that this equipment might be alive, meaning that Fatalis might not truly be dead. In Pokke Village, a giant black blade embedded in the ice is known to regenerate days after being mined once, which supports this claim that Fatalis is still alive. Other Fatalis weapons also seem to suggest that Fatalis is still alive in some form. Some weapons despair eat at the user's hands while other weapons, when held, have hideous abyssal screams coming from them. Some weapons even have a thirst for blood. From this, it is said that it's best to not to use any equipment from Fatalis in any form at all.

Fatalis appear to be egg-layers, but thus far only one instance of a Fatalis hatching has been observed. The newborn was observed to grow at alarming rates, reaching its adult form in mere hours. Nothing else about their life cycle is known.

Physiology

Crimson Fatalis is a Fatalis whose shells and scales have become a reddish-crimson color after generations of exposure to the Volcano. One of its four horns is extremely overgrown in comparison to the rest.

Behaviour

Extremely aggressive and violent, even by Fatalis standards. Crimson Fatalis' rage is nearly everlasting. It will kill anything in its path without a second thought. Like Fatalis, it also threatens the lives of all living things. In legend, a Crimson Fatalis could scorch the whole world with its flames in a few days while also bring hellfire from the skies, burning all lands to a crisp. Due to this, the Guild will secretly send hunters to hunt it down to prevent public panic. From this, it is said that it's best to not to use any equipment from Crimson Fatalis in any form at all. Like its cousins, it is said that Crimson Fatalis melts the remains of fallen Hunters together and wears them as armour.

Niche

As with Fatalis. all living things fear the Crimson Fatalis.

Biology

Just like Fatalis, Crimson Fatalis has extremely thick scales and a durable shell. This is due to Fatalis melting the armor of its fallen prey on its shell, increasing its protection against some attacks. Unlike Fatalis though, its scales and shell glow crimson faintly in darkness. It is believed the scales glow crimson, because of the Crimson Fatalis's anger. Since it was once a normal Fatalis, Crimson Fatalis's colors might change due to its immense rage though this hasn't been confirmed as of yet. Crimson Fatalis's wings are as hard as metal yet also flexible. As with Fatalis it has incredibly strong and durable wings. Crimson Fatalis possess explosive powder similar to the reactive scales produced by Lunastra and Teostra. One of its most powerful feature is its powerful fiery breath. This fire is the strongest fire breath out of all monsters. Its fire breath extends well beyond the length and height of the already large dragon and it can apparently release reactive powder similar to, but more expansive than the flame dragons's and ignite it. The exact workings of Fatalis's explosive attacks is still unknown. The most bizarre and supernatural part about Crimson Fatalis is its ability to summon meteors. These meteors come from outer space and it's unknown how Crimson Fatalis is able to summon these meteors. These meteors seem to be summoned by Crimson Fatalis by it performing certain gestures.

Many years ago, a Fatalis retreated from Castle Schrade after being defeated in battle by hunters. It was unknown what happened to this Fatalis after its defeat, but some years later this Fatalis was found living in Ingle Isle. In those few years, this Fatalis had changed into a Crimson Fatalis though this individual was quite different from known legends. Its scales were blood red in color, its underbelly was golden in color, the spikes on its back was golden in color, and it had golden eyes. This Crimson Fatalis also had abilities that weren't seen before in any legends. It could make its own heat waves using its scales and its wings, just like Lunastra and Teostra. It was able to manipulate lava into bursting from the ground in unusual patterns yet was still able to summon meteors. It is unknown what caused this Fatalis to change into such an unusual Crimson Fatalis, but the Guild is trying figure this out now.

Habitat

The Crimson Fatalis exclusively lives within volcanoes, however one day it may leave, in order to turn the world to ash.

Crimson Fatalis Lair

The Crimson Fatalis makes its lair deep within a volcanoe or on a single volcanic island. All other things living there are killed or flee, even Ancient Red Dragons and Teostra.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Crimson Fatalis takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Crimson Fatalis can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• A 5 foot radius, 60 foot tall geyser of lava erupts from the ground at a point the Crimson Fatalis can see within 60 feet of it. A creature in the area must succeed on a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw, taking 35 (10d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.
• Four meteors strike the ground at points the Fatalis can see. Each creature in a 20 foot radius sphere centered on each point must succeed on a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw, taking 27 (5d10) bludgeoning damage and 27 (5d10) fire damage on a failed save. Creatures take half damage on a success. A creature in the area of more than one meteor is affected only once.
• The ground within 20 feet of the Fatalis becomes superheated. Any creature that ends their turn in the area automatically takes 16 (3d10) fire damage. This lasts until initiative count 20 next round.

Regional Effects

Overall, the Crimson Fatalis' presence has little effects on the physical area, as for some reason it does not cause an eclipse as the other two Fatalis do, likely as it has not unleashed the same power as it did in Schrade. However it does have some effects

Physiology

White Fatalis is strikingly different in appearance from its relatives. It is covered in luminous white scales, and a line of fur runs down its back and tail. Its horns are antler-like in nature, and the structure of its head is significantly less reptilian than that of its counterparts. Like Kirin, the coat of a White Fatalis produces a bright white aura. When enraged, the throat and chest of the White Fatalis glow a menacing red and becomes surrounded with red lightning sparks.

Abilities

It has the ability to call forth red lightning storms. The White Fatalis possesses an extremely powerful thunder sac that can be used to produce massive electrical projectiles from its mouth. It can also imbue its claw with red lightning to attack its adversaries.

Behaviour

Like all other Fatalis, it is highly aggressive. Some would go as far as to call White Fatalis a king or even a god.

As with the other two forms of Fatalis, it is said that the White Fatalis melts down hunter's armour and melds it to its own skin, likely using its lightning powers to melt the armour.

Biology

White Fatalis has many different adaptions from its brethren. Unlike its cousins, White Fatalis is covered in glowing scales and a white mane flowing from its head to its tail. This appearance sort of resembles Kirin in some aspects. Strangely, these parts glow without even touching any type of light. Unlike Fatalis and Crimson Fatalis, White Fatalis doesn't use fire as its element but, instead uses lightning. It can breath powerful red lightning balls from its mouth and even summon giant bolts of lightning from the sky. It is said that its horns allows it to do this due to them constantly being charged. In some ancient documents, White Fatalis is said to have the ability to call for other Elder Dragons, including the other two Fatalis. One thing that all the legends share about Fatalis is its equipment.

This equipment is much more than what it appears to be. When hunters wear this monster's armor, it erases their shadow and makes them glow mysteriously. Some weapons get rid of darkness and evil, while others unlock the darkness inside a person's soul. Most disturbingly, rumor has it that the hunters who wear its equipment for too long are eventually transformed into White Fatalis themselves.

Niche

In legend, it is said that all living things fear Fatalis, including other Elder Dragons, such as Teostra and Lao-Shan Lung. All monsters are said to try to avoid Fatalis at all costs, leading to some leaving areas altogether simply to avoid it.

Habitat

White Fatalis has been observed in highly remote and abandoned areas. The natural environment in which it evolved is completely unknown.

White Fatalis Lair

White Fatalis makes its Lair in abandoned ruins and other remote areas, usually areas it had destroyed itself previously.

Lair Action

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the White Fatalis takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the White Fatalis can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• A bolt of lightning strikes a creature within 120 feet of the Fatalis. A creature must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take 22 (4d10) lightning damage and be paralyzed until the end of their next turn. On a success creatures take half damage and are not paralyzed.
• A feeling of intense dread overwhelms a creature within 60 feet of the White Fatalis. The creature must succeed on a DC 23 Wisdom saving throw or be Frightened until the end of their next turn. While frightened their movement is 0ft.
• A gust of wind pushes a creature in the Fatalis' lair closer to the White fatalis. The creature must succeed on a DC 23 Strength saving throw or be pushed 30 feet directly towards the Fatalis.

Regional Effects

The region containing a White Fatalis’ lair is corrupted by the dragons power, which creates one or more of the following effects:

• The sky becomes a swirling eclipse for miles around
• All creatures instinctively leave the area. All life is absent 10 miles from a White Fatalis' lair.
• No living creatures dare go near the area. The entire kingdom of Schrade is devoid of life aside from the Fatalis and any creature that enters the area is overcome with an intense feeling of dread. Creatures with an intelligence of 4 or lower immediately try and leave the area. A creature with a higher intelligence must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or else they are overcome with an intense fear and wish to flee the area while they remain in the region, as they believe a god-like being resides in the area. Creatures that succeed on the Wisdom save are immune to this effect until they leave the region.

If the White Fatalis dies none of the effects fade.

Physiology

Gogmazios is a massive Elder Dragon with a body structure similar in nature to that of Gore Magala and Shagaru Magala. It has a large, heavy head with red eyes and rows of sharp teeth. When it uses its Oil laser attack, a glowing pattern, reminiscent of a scowl, is present beneath its chin, giving it the semblance of a second face. Its wingarms feature membranes that almost completely retract when not in use, and its body is covered in thick, powerful scales, carapaces, and spines of an indigo colouration. Perhaps the most notable features of Gogmazios's body are the ever-present covering of a sticky, tar-like substance which it uses to incapacitate prey, and the presence of an ancient dragonator lodged in its back.

Abilities

Despite its enormous size, Gogmazios is fully capable of flight thanks to its incredibly powerful wings and presumably light skeleton. It is capable of firing a laser-like beam of superheated oil at attackers, and can use its immense size and weight to batter opponents into submission.

Behaviour

Gogmazios aren't the most aggressive Elder Dragons, but certainly aren't harmless and will attack if threatened. Gogmazios are known to hibernate underground for a very long period of time, spanning to a few years or even several decades, when it has obtained enough food, but waking up to feed again when food is needed. This plus it destroying some villages while searching for food is the reason why it hasn't been seen very much by people.

Niche

Despite Gogmazios's habitat being unknown, Gogmazios are known to feed sulfur, which can be found in gunpowder and explosives. This was discovered after one raided Dundroma's Weapon Warehouse for many years and was seen feeding on the explosives. From this it can be assumed that Gogmazios may also feed on ore though Gogmazios hasn't been seen interacting with other monsters so this is just a hypothesis.

Biology

An adult Gogmazios is approxiamtely 4920.5cm long and standing at a height at about 1708.5cm. Unlike most other Elder Dragons, Gogmazios has an extra pair of limbs that allow it to walk better and allow it to walk upright. From the large amounts of muscles found inside these limbs, Gogmazios is able to walk upright with ease and to battle some threats at close range.

These extra pair of limbs even allow Gogmazios to fly with its powerful wings. The wings of Gogmazios aren't tattered. The oil on its body has actually stuck the wings to its arms due to it hardening. When greatly angered, the heat will cause the oil to evaporate from its wings and Gogmazios forces itself in the air to fly. Gogmazios don't fly easily and rarely ever fly. Gogmazios has oil circulating throughout its body, while some of the oil pours out of its body. The oil coming out of a Gogmazios is impurities, such as waste or sweat, from its skin due to its diet. The oil pours out from its chest and back, dripping onto the ground below it. This oil is very sticky, attaching to anything that it touches. Inside some of the oil is objects that were picked up by Gogmazios accidentally. These objects can be weapons, artifacts, arrows, living organisms, and even Dragonators. Some of the oil has hardened on Gogmazios's body, increasing the strength of its scales and shell, giving it better defense against potential threats. Also, found inside of its body and inside its extra limbs are special organs that allow it to produce heated fire. Gogmazios uses this fire as a tool to ignite the oil and to make its attacks deadlier then before. When greatly enraged, Gogmazios's body temperature will increase greatly, making the oil it produces ignite faster and heat up faster without much warning.

Habitat

It is unknown where Gogmazios exactly lives but it is theorized that it comes from either a swamp or perhaps a mountainous habitat.

Physiology

Kirin resembles a unicorn, though a closer look reveals that it is covered in scales rather than a coat. Its majestic white mane and hair stand on end, as if charged with static. The monster often crackles with stray electricity

Abilities

Kirin can summon lightning to strike attackers, or the area around it. When threatened, it wreathes itself in lightning and its body becomes impenetrable.

Behaviour

Kirin are a highly unpredictable species. Sometimes Kirin are calm, other times they are aggressive. In one legend, it was said that a Kirin actually destroyed a whole village with its electrical powers.

Niche

It is unknown how Kirin fit into the ecological niche, however, they are known to be the natural prey of Rajang.

Even more unknown is the Kirin's status in the New World food chain, as Rajang's presence has never been seen.

Biology

Kirin have white fur used for picking up electricity. When enough electrical currents are picked up in the fur, Kirin will glow brightly and its hide will deflect most attacks. From this, the Hunter's Guild believe that Kirin's high metabolism helps it pick up electricity as well. Equipped with such powerful legs, all Kirin posses the ability to run at speeds so unexpectedly fast they appear to teleport, leaving behind a trail of blue electricity. A Kirin's most vital feature is its long horn. This horn is used to summon lightning from the sky, even when there isn't a storm cloud in sight, to strike any foes that threaten it. However, even if this horn is destroyed, Kirin can still summon lightning bolts with little effort.

Habitat

Kirin have been seen in all sorts of environment from snow capped mountains to deep withing forests and jungles. The only places that Kirin don't seem to venture to are volcanic or desert regions.

Subspecies

Kirin has one subspecies, the Oroshi Kirin. The Oroshi looks vastly different to a normal Kirin, being a more purple-black colour than pure white.

It is also able to control ice rather than lightning. It is theorised that this species evolved in order to make it a less appetising meal to Rajang.

Behaviour

Even amongst Elder Dragons Kulve Taroth is a very passive aggressive monster, it will not attack until excessively provoked and once provoked it will not stop till it's aggressors are eliminated. Kulve Taroth once spotted will do all it can to escape conflict forcing hunters to track it again. Kulve Taroth has some displays of intelligence particularly when driven to a corner when she uses her breath to heat the ceiling in the final area to off-balance the hunters. It is not know why Kulve will lose all will to fight when it's horn is broken but it's possible that it is proud of it's horn and having it broken is a mark of shame though that is a subject to be debated on.

Niche

Kulve Taroth is unique among Elder Dragons in that does not interact with any monsters of any kind apart from the Gajalaka's that reside in the caves who mostly take pieces of her fallen metal coat for their own purposes. However considering her size, power, and speed it would be safe to assume she would be the top of the food chain along with most elder dragons. Curiously she seems to be utterly safe from the rabid hunger of the infamous Nergigante.

Inside her cave Kulve Tarroth acts as a key stone species, bringing high amounts of minerals in with her during her appearances that other species in the area use for their own purposes.

Biology

The most striking trait of the Kulve is the metal coat which it wears like a royal robe fit for a queen. Kulve's body is covered by the same materials that make up it's coat, which all shine a bright golden glow but is not gold itself. Another striking trait is Kulve's size, she is massive far larger than most elder dragons and is strong enough to carry her massive metal coat. Her horns are rather unique in that they must be broken twice the first time to get rid of the coating and the final time to remove the horns themselves. When removed of the coating they are a dazzling color of sapphire and emeralds. Kulve uses both her massive body and her coat as both a means of defense and attack, often diving down to ram her body against hunters while her coat allows her to attack in ranges she wouldn't normally be able to attack. At times Kulve's body will heat up causing her coat to mollify which allows her to move faster but also allows for her coat to be broken quicker. One of her more interesting traits is her breath, which instead of fire she breathes out a stream of hyper heated air like the air from an open furnace. This breath not only has surprising range but speed as well allowing her to attack from a great distance.

This breath also has the ability to heat up the floor causing constant damage to any that stand on the heated floor. It can also melt the metal walls of the caverns with little effort instantly reducing them to molten metal. She uses this breath in a number of ways including using it to heat the golden stalactites to drip molten metal on top of enemies.

It's not until one removes her metal coat that we see the Kulve Taroth's true prowess, not only does she move much more nimbly but also more aggressively as well, using her horned head to ram and smash hunters with extreme aggression. She also uses her breath more offensively heating up the floor and the ceiling to herd hunters into tight spaces to better smash them while they try to break her horns. Curiously once her horns are broken she will lose the will to fight and will retreat immediately.

It is unknown currently if there are male Kulve Taroths as currently all encountered Kulve are female.

Habitat

Kulve Taroth dwells in the Caverns of El Dorado a massive and complex series of tunnels filled with valuable minerals and metals that glitter gold

Kulve Taroth's Lair

The Kulve Taroth makes her lair in a network of caverns known as the Caverns of El Dorado. A huge network of tunnels filled with gold. The Kulve Taroth is CR 26 in her lair.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties) the Kulve Taroth takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Kulve Taroth can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• The Kulve Taroth heats some metal above a creatures it can see within 80 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 28 (8d6) fire damage on a failed save, half as much on a success.
• The Kulve Taroth causes the ground in a 20 foot square to superheat at a point she can see within 60 feet of her. A creature that starts its turn in the area takes 9 (2d8) fire damage. A creature that ends its turn in the area takes the damage again. This effect lasts until Kulve Taroth uses this lair action again.

Regional Effects

The region containing a Kulve Taroth’s lair is affected by the monsters superheated body and the minerals it brings with it, which creates one or more of the following effects:

• The area is filled with rivers and lakes of molten rock and metal, and many areas are areas of Extreme Heat.
• The area containing a Kulve Taroth is filled with gold as the dragon travels through the tunnels as well as other precious metals and gems.
• Due to the immense riches to be found in the caverns many creatures come here to find treasure, ranging from daring bandits to dragons.

Physiology

Kushala Daora is a dragon with metallic skin. Its large wings connect halfway down its tail, making them seem even larger in proportion to its body. Numerous horns line its head.

Abilities

Kushala Daora have the ability to manipulate strong winds, creating a wind barrier that surrounds it during rage mode. The wind barrier can knock a hunter back, making the hunter vulnerable to Kushala Daora's attacks. The wind barrier also makes it difficult for the hunter to attack its body, except for head and the tail. However, this wind barrier can be weakened by poisoning it.

Behaviour

Like other Elder Dragons, Kushala Daora are highly aggressive. Interestingly however, in the New World, they are normally calm, even when hunters apporach and get close to it. Only when attacked, it will become aggressive.

Niche

Kushala Daora are rare top predators, and fear almost nothing. However, it is occasionally threatened by the large, fast and aggressive Tigrex and the rare powerful Rajang. They can compete with other elder dragons, especially Chameleos in the Jungle. When in the Desert these dragons may prey on the local Apceros, Genprey, Cephalos, and Cephadrome. However they have to be wary of fellow elder dragons Teostra and Lunastra. There are reports of Kushala Daora eating mineral deposits, this may show how they manage to have a metal rust-able skin.

In the New World, Kushala Daora easily assert themselves as one of the top predators of the Ancient Forest and the Elder's Recess. Even large predators such as Anjanath, Lavasioth and Rathalos would be wary upon sight of the Elder Dragon. Few would attempt to challenge Kushala Daora. The nomadic predators, Bazelgeuse and Deviljho are capable of fighting back, but even these monsters would know the dangers of going against such a monster. Nergigante, along with both Teostra and Lunastra are the only monsters that rival Kushala Daora's position in the food chain, with Nergigante actually capable of killing and consuming the Steel Dragon. Nevertheless, Kushala Daora remain powerful predators in whatever habitat they are residing in and are more than capable of taking out their competition if necessary.

Biology

Kushala Daora possesses some of the largest wings of any monster. It uses these to sail effortlessly in the air. It can hover off the ground and blast hunters with wind. It uses a special organ to produce its famous wind based-attacks and abilities. When hit with poison, its organ will be weak and its shield will disappear for a short period of time while fighting the toxins. Kushala Daora have tough, metal filled skin, but suffer from a severe weakness to poison, which can easily enter the bloodstream through cracks created in the skin. Kushala Daora must infrequently shed their trademark skin (which is made of an organic metal) as they grow. This can easily be spotted as the once shining silver scales will rust over due to oxidation with air. The most well-known ability about Kushala Daora is the storms it summons. These storms can easily destroy whole regions, varying from region to region. Kushala Daora can cause sandstorms, hurricanes, and snowstorms though it is unknown how.

As a Kushala Daora grows older, its limbs and soft tissue will slowly grow metallic in the same manner as its skin. Invariably, this leads to the Elder Dragon's death when vital organs begin to undergo this change.

In Val Harbor's region, it has been said that the Kushala Daoras can actually breath ice, even when not in cold environments. This suggest that these Kushala Daoras might be subspecies. It has even been said that there maybe several different subspecies of them since the skin on a few Rusted Kushala Daora are different from each other.

A Kushala Daora's Lair

Kushala Daora makes its lair at the highest peak of the highest mountain in the area. If an Ancient Dragon or other more powerful creature comes to claim its lair it will usually leave to find another. A Kushala Daora is CR 23 in its lair.

Physiology

Lao Shan grows as its body receives floating particles from the atmosphere. The red tint comes from the iron deposits near their environment; the blue tint comes from ash particles from the Volcanic Belt. This process takes an untold amount of time, suggesting that Lao-Shan Lungs have extremely long life-spans

Abilities

Lao-Shan Lung is often nicknamed the Walking Natural Disaster. From its immense size, Lao-Shan Lung can cause damage to settlements just by simply walking. With each footstep, its tremors can cause landslides and cause surrounding structures,like buildings, to crumble. If an object is blocking its path, Lao-Shan Lung will just simply tear through the obstacle with its bulk before continuing forward. It has even been seen destroying mountains to create a path for itself. If left unchecked, Lao-Shan Lung can easily destroy any fortresses that stand in its way

Behaviour

Like other Elder Dragons, many things about Lao-Shan Lung remain a mystery, but it seems the giant isn't particularly aggressive. It is believed that Lao-Shan Lung spends most of its time sleeping underground, about a hundred years or more, as it slowly grows before awakening every so often to wander for unknown reasons. For the most part, Lao-Shan Lung ignores humans but becomes dangerous when it invades their residence.

Niche

Lao-Shan Lung is believed to feed on minerals and ore but from little being known about it, a lot about its ecology is still unclear. From its enormous size, Lao-Shan Lung has few creatures to fear, but it has been reported that it seems fears some kind of powerful monster. It is believed by some that Lao-Shan Lung wanders into the Fortress because it is running away from the legendary Black Dragon, but most scholars don't believe in that old fairy tale.

Biology

• Length: 6960cm - 7000cm or more
• Height: 1294cm
• Foot Measurements: 388cm

From it living many years, a heavy shell has formed on Lao-Shan Lung's body from airborne dust and minerals in the atmosphere adhering to its body, creating a rock-like shell that can't easily be penetrated. It takes a long time for this shell to form on its body and it is estimated that the individuals encountered are about a thousand years old, showing how long this process takes. Covering the rest of its body is thick scales that are as durable as a Flying Wyvern's shell, protecting Lao-Shan Lung from most attacks. Unlike other Elder Dragons, Lao-Shan Lung lacks wings and breath-based attacks, which is considered to be unusual for an Elder Dragon, but its sheer size makes up for that. Lao-Shan Lung is about 6960cm long and stands at 1294cm tall, making it one of the largest monsters in the world. It is estimated that Lao-Shan Lung can reach 7000cm or more, but no specimens beyond that 6000cm mark have been found. With its immense size, Lao-Shan Lung is able to use its own bulk to destroy any obstacles that stand in its way, including mountains that block its path. If it can't reach an obstacle, Lao-Shan Lung will stand on its hind legs to give itself more height. By using its tail for support, Lao-Shan Lung can stand and walk on its hind legs for a short period of time, allowing it to reach up and attack fortresses.

Habitat

The Lao-Shan Lung can survive in many environments, but prefers mountainous or volcanic areas for their high mineral content.

Physiology

Lunastra is a large elder dragon with leonine features. She shares a lot of similarities with Teostra in her appearance, with the main difference being her blue colouration and that her horns form a sort of large crest rather than being individual horns like Teostra's. Lunastra are female counterparts to Teostra.

Abilities

Like Teostra, Lunastra have extremely good control over fire. However, instead of using fire to deal quick damage, Lunastra will instead spread a strange blue powder on the ground and set it alight, coating entire areas in blue flame. This severely limits the space that her enemies have to maneuver as they attempt to avoid the flames.

Lunastras flames are actually far hotter than Teostra's and as such can scorch creatures normally resistant to flames. In this way Lunastra is actually far more capable at defending her and her mates volcano habitats from threats, as she is capable of damaging creatures that would shrug off Teostra's flames.

Behaviour

Lunastra are relatively passive monsters, not attacking creatures unless they see them as a threat, much like Teostra. However, during the mating season the Lunastra becomes far more aggressive and will attack almost anything on sight.

Lunastra are rarely seen with Teostra, however when they are they are a formidable duo. The two Elder Dragons will work together in order to take down prey and to defend each other. This allows them to take down threats that would normally provide quite a challenge individually, such as Nergigante, without taking much damage themselves.

Niche

Lunastra is quite high in the food chain by herself, only having to worry about other Elder Dragons as well as high tier monsters such as Akantor, Deviljho, Rajang and Bazelgeuse.

However, when with her mate, a Lunastra is nigh unstoppable. Not many creatures can stand up to the might of an Elder Dragon, but almost nothing can face two without succumbing to their combined power. The only creatures that would pose a threat to the two together would be Black Dragons, and other huge Elder Dragons such as Xeno'Jiiva and Dalamadur.

It is unknown if other Elder Dragons show such cooperation with their own mates, as only Teostra and unastra have been seen to display such unity (reminiscent of Rathalos and Rathian).

Biology

As an Elder Dragon of fire, Lunastra is capable of expert control over flames. her control is rivaled only by Teostra and Black Dragons such as Crimson Fatalis. It could even be argued that her control is far greater than that of her mates, as while Teostra uses the fire simply to attack, dealing massive damage, Lunastra actively uses a strange powder produced from her skin in order to ignite large swathes of ground for area denial.

Lunastra, much like Teostra, can also produce an aura of flame around her body. This is used to deter pysical attacks from powerful monsters such as Tigrex and Deviljho. While it may not prevent an attack, the aura can drive off the monster before it can deal serious damage to the Lunastra.

The powder that Lunastra emits seems to be an adaptation to allow her to fight better alongside her mate. While Lunastra's flame may be hotter, Testra's tend to cover larger areas. Combining her own powder with her mates flame attacks allows huge areas to be engulfed in flame within a matter of seconds. It also works to deter creatures that control fire themselves from attacking, as if they lack an immunity to flame they may end up trapping themselves by igniting Lunastra's powder themselves.

Habitat

Lunastra lives exclusively in areas of extreme heat. She can be seen in large deserts as well as in volcanic regions. Often times in a desert she will be solitary but will then move to volcanic regions upon coupling with a Teostra.

Lunastra Lair

Much like Teostra, Lunastra makes her lair deep within volcanoes. She often stays behind while Teostra goes out to hunt, as her intense flames make her far more capable of defending against flame resilient creatures.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Lunastra takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Lunastra can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• The Lunastra spreads blue powder in a 30 foot cone from herself.
• The Lunastra superheats a 20 foot cube at a point she can see within 120 feet of her. Any creature that starts its turn in the area takes 2d8 fire damage. A creature in the area has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks. Creatures immune to fire damage are immune to this.
• The Lunastra ignites and blue powder within 60 feet of her.

Regional Effects

Just as with Teostra, the region containing a Lunastra’s lair is warped by the creatures power over fire and heat, which creates one or more of the following effects:

Physiology

Gore Magala is a very unique wyvern, sharing traits and similarities to that of the Elder Dragons, possessing six limbs, including the clawed wings on its back. Though, its overall appearance and stance resembles a quadrupedal wyvern like the Nargacuga. Its body is covered in dark exoskeleton plates, with notable features including the hidden feelers that are folded alongside its face, the lack of visible eyes and fanged jaws that are actually parts of its external armor plates. The other unique part is its wings, which are covered in jet-black fur that resemble a tattered and ragged cape. The claws on its wings are extremely prehensile, and even seem to possess opposable thumbs. They are used for grabbing, help at running and maintaining stability. When not engaged in combat, Gore Magala tends to cloak its body with its wings by latching them onto its back.

Abilities

The pollen-like scales of Gore Magala are used to understand their environment and leave behind a trail that Gore Magala uses to see both predators and prey by heat, and also act as the vector for the pathogen known as the Frenzy Virus. As Gore Magala's senses increase and become better from these scales, its color under its wings will slowly change and get brighter. When its sense are at their highest peak, two feelers will poke out from its head and it will release large amounts of scales into the air. The hairs will darken the sky as if an eclipse was in the area and it will begin to walk on all six. This state is known as the Frenzy State.

Behaviour

Gore Magalas are highly aggressive, elusive monsters. These monsters show great amounts of aggression and have shown great amounts of intelligence. Some have even been shown to play dead before slipping away when given an opportunity too. Despite competing with other powerful predators, Gore Magalas have rarely been seen with any wounds or scars on their body. Though these monsters are aggressive, they are more aggressive when its time for them to return to the Heaven's Mount and go to the Sanctuary. The reason for this is for the Gore Magala to molt into a legendary Elder Dragon that once nearly wiped out every living thing in the mountains.

Interestingly, Gore Magala have been known to attack seafaring ships during their voyages across the ocean.

Niche

Gore Magala, despite being the juvenile form of Shagaru Magala, is a predator high in the food chain. Common prey includes Gargwa, Slagtoth, Rhenoplos, Aptonoth and any other herbivores or smaller predators though Gore Magalas rarely feed on prey. Despite their deadly strength and weaponry, these beasts must compete with other large predators. Such predators include Najarala, Rathalos, Nerscylla, Tigrex, Seltas Queen, Brachydios, Seregios, predatory Elder Dragons, and Rathian. Despite this competition, Gore Magalas don't show any scars or injuries on their bodies and this is due to most predators tending to avoid these monsters at all costs. Those who encounter Gore Magala such as Tigrex are killed on sight by Gore Magala, showing how high it is in the food chain.

Biology

Gore Magala has an unusually high metabolism but rarely feeds on much prey. Due to this metabolism, its hairs on its wings are constantly left behind and flying in the air. These hairs are used to understand their environment and leave behind a trail that Gore Magala uses to see both predators and prey by heat. Once it smells something in the area, it will begin to spread around its hairs around the area in order to find the target and these hairs will attach onto the target, allowing the Gore Magala to see them with heat. As Gore Magala's senses increase and become better from these hairs, its color under its wings will slowly change and get brighter.

Gore Magala's most infamous feature is the Frenzy Virus. This virus is spread from Gore Magala's scales and hairs while its breath has similar properties to them. When in its Frenzy State, Gore Magala is able to make explosions in the area by combining the hairs in the atmosphere around it with a spark from its mouth. The Frenzy Virus causes some abnormalities in the nervous system, increased physical strength, and a decrease in the body's resistance. This virus makes all monsters extremely violent and eventually kills most of them. Some may overcome the effects of the Frenzy Virus and actually develop a relationship with it, becoming physically stronger from the virus while also spreading the virus like Gore Magala in order to get rid of competition from their own species. These rare individuals are known as Apex Monsters. In some cases, the Frenzy Virus can even affect Gore Magala itself. Rare special individuals who have failed to molt properly have been found to have no control over the virus, unlike Shagaru Magala. This causes their normal habits to change and also causes them to be extremely violent compared to normal individuals and their adult form. These rare special individuals are called Chaotic Gore Magala.

Frenzied

When a creature other than a Giant or Humanoid fails 3 saves against the Frenzy Virus it becomes Frenzied.

Frenzied A Frenzied creature is permanently frenzied unless the spell Greator Restoration or spell of similar power is cast on it. A Frenzied creature also acts much more agressively, even to those it considered allies as well as being immune to the charmed condition. After 10 days a frenzied creature will die if it hasn't been treated.

Frenzied creatures in combat In combat, Frenzied creatures become much more dangerous than their base counterpart. A Frenzied creature deals an extra die of damage on all attacks and its melee attacks inflict the Frenzy Virus (As detailed in the Gore and Shagaru Magala stat blocks. The DC of the virus is the same as the creature the virus originated from). Frenzied monsters also gain the Reckless trait.. However, they also lose any damage resisitaces they had (except for bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons. They also reatain any immunities they had.)

Apex Some creatures can overcome the Frenzy Virus and become Apex. To do so the creature must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw. The saving throw can be repeated after every long rest but the DC increases by 2 each time it is failed. Only creatures of CR 10 and over can become Apex. An Apex Creature retains all the benefits of the Frenzied condition and none of the negatives. As well as this it also gains immunity to critical hits and resisitance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks if it didn't have it already.
