Gulon Ecology

Information
Voracious Brute Wyverns that roam the land in search of food. Armored in study plating and capable of spitting powerful acids. They will readily feast on anything that can fit into their jaws - which is just about everything.

Order: Saurischia - Suborder: Theropod - Infraorder: Unknown - Superfamily: Violent Wyverns - Family: Gulo

Gulon are fearsome monsters that are classified as Brute Wyverns. This class includes monsters like Barroth and Duramboros but Gulon is mostly closely related to Deviljho.

Habitat Range
Gulon have no true habitat so they can be found virtually anywhere. Known Gulon sightings include the Deserted Island, Flooded Forest, Tundra, Sandy Plains, Volcano, Misty Peaks, Ancestral Steppe, Sunken Hollow, Volcanic Hollow, Frozen Seaway, Heaven's Mount, Primal Forest, Everwood, and Dunes.

Ecological Niche
Gulon are powerful apex predators that rule whatever environment they currently reside in. Herbivores such as Aptonoth, Apceros, Popo, Rhenoplos, and Slagtoth are the most common prey items of Gulon. They also feed on lesser creatures such as Great Jaggi, Velocidrome, Arzuros, and Royal Ludroth. Gulon will commonly compete and fight against other monsters such as Rathalos, Lagiacrus, Yian Garuga, Tigrex, Rajang, Elder Dragons, and even other Gulon.

Biological Adaptations
Gulon are bestowed with powerful muscles that give them the strength to overpower their prey. Their massive head and jaws are filled with sharp teeth that can tear off chunks of flesh from prey. This feature also allows them to attack from a distance; using their giant lower jaw as a crude shovel, they can fling boulders at their target. Their heads, bodies, legs, and tail are covered in hard plates made from bone and keratin that provide a sturdy armor. The most distinctive feature of Gulon is their ability to spit corrosive digestive fluids at targets. These stomach juices are extremely acidic and can dissolve the armors of prey and predators alike.

Behavior
Gulon are exceedingly aggressive, eating anything that can get their mouths on. They will even feed on other Gulon. Strangely, Gulon will only cannibalize individuals of the same gender. This means that males will not kill and eat females and vice versa. This might give a clue of their mating habits, though it's been observed that young newly hatched Gulon will feed on their smaller or unborn siblings, further showing their insatiable hunger.
