Meet the wanibek

A small leviathan that the people of moga village have developed an unusual relationship with.

Used to assist in fishing, they are often equipped with a loose snare surrounding their jaws, allowing them to eat small fish,but makes them unable to consume the larger fish before the fishermen can get them.

The top one is a baby that makes chirping noises akin to real crocodilian babies, and can be carried around in their parent’s jaws.

They are small relatives of leviathans like Lagiacrus and Agnaktor, and like their pelagic cousin, they possess electroreception(although they cannot produce electricity). This is helpful for underwater hunts, as they can sense the presence of a large monster in murky water or if they’re hidden.

Engravings are often written into their horns, and these are the mounts an aspiring moga village hunter will use to traverse the many islands that make up this region of the world.

Some monster hunter taxonomies

Delex reinterpretation based off of that concept art where they were seemingly jhen Mohran juveniles. The fins on this specimens back will be replaced with a rocky spine when it grows up.

My reinterpretation of Najarala-the twisting snake wyvern

-Is now the apex monster of the primal forest

-Roar animation is similar to that of Dalamadur albeit closer to the ground

Design changes

-More snake like head

-Red, unblinking eyes(when slain or knocked over its eyes go white like Dalamadur)

-Hooded neck

-Sonic scales more like keeled scales, closer to the body to make burrowing easier

-Retractable fangs like a viper, bluish mouth interior

-Hindlimbs turned into stubby spurs

-Tail has a vaguely macuahuitl like shape

Fight changes

-More focused on its scale production and paralysis(burrows to move to faraway areas akin to tetsucabra)

-Keeps itself closer to the ground normally, assuming the coiled position for particular attacks

-It’s chest is breakable

-It can shake its tail rattle to make its sonic scales explode

-If the tail is cut off it will have to resort to a roar

-Forelimb swipe attack

-Has an attack where it slams its jaw into the ground(it can inflict paralysis)

-Slither attack has a telegraph of it coiling up

-Sweeping tail drag where it slams its tail into the ground

Miscellaneous

-It’s lair is a ground sloth esque burrow(the entrance corkscrews) that has sound echo, thus making the range of its sonic scale bursts larger

-Environmental traces include footprints and pieces of shed skin(finding these will give you a chance of collecting a najarala scale)

-Idle animation/when it’s trying to find the hunter has it flick it’s forked tongue

-When low on stamina it will paralyze and kill Slagtoth before swallowing them whole like a snake

CLXIII: Laniidae

Adjoining the corvids is Laniidae: the shrikes. There are 34 species inhabiting Africa, Eurasia, North America, and Papua. Pictured are the loggerhead (Lanius ludovicianus) and white-crowned shrike (Eurocephalus anguitimens).

Shrikes are widely distributed songbirds with large heads, hooked beaks, and strong feet. All are dedicated predators, catching invertebrates, small mammals, and small birds using a sit-and-wait strategy. Like larger predatory birds, they regurgitate pellets of the inedible material. Their most famous hunting behavior, however, is their habit of impaling prey on thorns or barbed wire. By doing so, the shrikes can tear pieces off larger prey, store food for later, or allow toxins to degrade.

Shrikes inhabit open areas across their range. Most species breed in monogamous pairs, though a few breed cooperatively. Those that cooperate may raise multiple broods per season, with young from previous broods as young as 14 weeks having been observed feeding their siblings of a later brood.
