Megalodonto is a shark-like Brute Wyvern.

English: Megalodonto

Japanese: メガロドント (Megarodonto)

Latin: Magnus dente draco

Physiology
Megalodonto is a superficially shark-like Brute Wyvern with a gray backside, a white belly and lower jaw, a triangular dorsal fin, and a shark-like tail. Its has a standard Brute Wyvern build with a heavy muscular body and powerful developed hind legs. However, as with most Brutes, the forelimbs are pretty much useless. Its believed to be the missing link between Brute Wyverns and Piscine Wyverns, however this is heavily debated on.

Abilities
Megalodonto is unique as its the only Brute Wyvern capable of swimming thanks to its legs and fins used to propel itself through the water. It has powerful jaws filled with rows of serrated teeth used for crushing bones and armor and tearing off chunks of flesh. It can even shoot powerful, pressurized streams of water from its mouth to attack prey and predators.

Behavior
Megalodonto is, as with most Brute Wyverns, a highly aggressive and territorial creature that does not enjoy anything invading their territories. However, despite this and the monster's solitary hunting behaviors, they are very tolerant of other Megalodonto in surrounding areas to the point they will meet up to breed or even hunt in packs of 3.

Habitat
Megalodonto are mostly seen inhabiting watery areas such as the Deserted Island and the Flooded Forest. Sometimes Megalodonto can be found within the Great Sea.

Etymology
The name Megalodonto is derived from the Greek words μέγας (megas) "big, mighty" and ὀδoύς (odoús), "tooth".
