Magnarok

The Magnarok (Pestimaxilla foetidum) is a very rare Brute Wyvern. It specializes in bite attacks, but is also capable of spraying pheromones to deter attackers. It seems to be distantly related to the Uragaan.

In-Game Information
Magnaroks live their entire lives in volcanoes, where soot and ash hardens on their skin to create thick white armor. They are carnivores and have powerful jaws, but their claim to fame is the irritating scent that they spray from ducts around their bellies.

Physiology and Behavior
Like all Brute Wyverns, the Magnarok is a very aggressive, bipedal monster. Its main features are its rock-crushing jaws and plates of armor. The white armor comes from living in volcanoes, where the ash and soot harden on its skin and is bleached over time. Despite having this crusty coating, the Magnarok can move around easily. Its curling horns display dominance, and help the Magnarok settle battles over territory. What look like teeth in its upper jaw are actually bony plates that can crunch through stone.

Despite being a Brute Wyvern, the Magnarok is surprisingly passive. When it gets the chance, it can spray a pink gas that disorients enemies that are doused in it. Furthermore, the gas smells remarkably like the Felvine that Lynians are attracted to, and thus draws large numbers of Felynes and Melynxes to it. While its enemy is distracted by the cat-like creatures, the Magnarok can escape. However, when cornered, the Magnarok will show no mercy and go all out with its jaws and horns.

Attacks
Quick Bites: Raises its head, then lowers it and bites twice in front of it. Then, it immediately turns in a new direction and bites twice again.

Lunge: Takes one step back, then rushes forward a couple of paces and snaps its jaws at whatever is in front of it.

Tail Swing: Turns 180 degrees to the side while swinging its tail. Always does two.

Horn Swing: Raises its head at an angle, then swings its head powerfully down and to the side.

Snapping Jaws: Opens its mouth noticeably, then slams it shut while taking a step forward. It will repeat this up to three times before settling down, and four when enraged.

Powered Jaw Attack: Similarly to Uragaan, it will rear slowly onto its hind legs with a roar before slamming its jaws into the ground, causing a quake. (Stun)

Demolition: Shakes its head and lowers it to the ground while aiming at a target. Then, the Magnarok will open its mouth and rush forward, with its bottom jaw tearing up the ground underneath it. It will finish with an uppercut, then slam its jaw into the ground hard enough to get it stuck in the ground. After the quake that ensues, the Magnarok will pull its jaw out of the ground at an angle, landing on its side to hit anything standing beside it. (Stun)

Demon Dance: Similarly to Deviljho, it will swing its head up into the air over and over again, alternating from left to right five times before settling down.

Felyne Spray: Rears up onto its hind legs while puffs of pink gas come out from underneath it. Then, it'll lower itself into the ground and produce a continuous cloud of gas that spreads all around it. Summons Felynes and Melynxes. (Felvine-Scented, Stun)

Roar: Takes a step forward and stands tall, then belts out a guttural bellow. Usually follows up with a Quick Bites attack. Can be blocked with Earplugs.
