Abilities
The Michitori is known for its ability to change colors, they do this by holding food in an extra organ before it passes down to the digestive system, it can selectively send food either for digestion or to another organ which converts certain foods into a liquid, which is then sent to small reflective spaces within every shell, the reflections inside the shell allows it to color all of its shells with little liquid, all the remaining liquid is sent to the wing membranes, certain foods may have special effects on attacks made with the wings, a fruit with poisonous properties will give it the ability to poison targets, processing vespoids allow it to use paralysis and other fruits may induce sleep.

Behavior
Michitoris are quite aggressive but wont attack on sight, instead, it will lay low and camouflage itself before leaping on intruders and possible threats, using ailments for its advantage, it can take down dangerous monsters like Deviljho and Chameleos.
