Gomandias

Gomandias is a Leviathan appearing in Monster Hunter Venture: Primordial.

Physiology
Gomandias is a truly enormous Leviathan, befitting its status as the adult form of the already-sizable Gobul. Unlike its younger form, Gomandias has a longer and more serpentine body with long, flowing fins adorning its sides. The reed-like barbels on its chin have further developed into a beard of more tentacle-like structures. Gomandias retains the lure of its juvenile form, but its light has a more ethereal quality and gives off steam as well. The most dramatically changed structure from its juvenile form is its mouth--while it is still nearly the width of the monster’s body, it now has several more rows of teeth and can unhinge in the center. Furthermore, two fringes of skin along the side of its jaws can be unfolded to make Gomandias’s mouth appear even larger.

Behavior
Gomandias is a slow and passive creature unless it is attacked. Rarely seen, it only occasionally rises up from the deepest and darkest parts of the ocean for a meal.

Placement in Food Chain
Gomandias is at the top of the food chain. Though it feeds only rarely, it is more than large enough to swallow a Lagiacrus whole and it is known to attack ships that disturb it while it is trying to feed. Not even marine Elder Dragons such as Ceadeus or Nakarkos would risk an encounter with a Gomandias.
