Terramaw

The Terramaw (Terra Perussi Tyrannus) is a large, subterranian Myriaceran that is first introduced in Monster Hunter EX. It is a territorial creature, and often makes nests that marks it's territory, and protects it's turf from any creature, be it monster or man. It is only encountered in  G and X ranks.

Biology
It is an unusual Myriaceran, with a large carapace, and many legs, and it's eyes are on stalks, which are retracted during burrowing. Their two front legs end in large scythes, similar to a praying mantis, which they use to slash at prey and foes alike. Their mouths are large and cricular, and hae many rows of sharp teeth, which hint a carnivorous diet, although they get most of their nutrition from the soil they consume. Terramaws also have what looks like a large blue tongue, which they use to smell the air when surfacing. Also near the mouth are two sets of tentacle like atteanae, which also help "smell" a wider area than the tongue.

Solitary creatures by nature, it is extremely rare to encounter more than one in a given area. They live alone in a large nest that span large areas underground. It is unsure how big they get, since the whole body is never seen above ground, but estimates show that they can reach the size of a Lao Shan lung, perhaps even bigger.

They consume a large quantity of soil when they burrow, but also supplement their diet with the flesh of creatures that are either too slow or too unlucky enough to escape.

They can spit a very acidic fluid that they use to attack prey/foes from range.
