Titanodont

The Titanodont is an enormous and very aggressive herbivore.

Appearance
Titanodonts are the biggest species of herbivore in the Monster Hunter Universe - surpassing the height and length of a Rathian. The Titanodont's most distinctive (and unusual) feature is a gigantic, wedge - shaped crest (Like that of a Hammerhead Shark) with a massive horn protruding from the centre. Along this crest is a line of feathers with an unusual, colourful pattern that it uses as a threat display when predators are too close for its comfort.

Behavior
Titanodonts are solitary creatures. When not bothered, they eat bark of trees and twigs from the ground. They have been sighted bashing trees and knocking down vegetation in their way to find more food. They also have a diet for fruits and flowers - the more colourful the fruits and flowers they eat, the more intimidating the feathers' plumage becomes. When a hunter approaches a Titanodont, it will flare its feathers up and wave its head from side to side while keeping its guard, and faces towards the hunter wherever they go. When they get too close however, the Titanodon will attack using a combination of headbutts, charges, stomps and smashes. When a large monster (e.g Deviljho) enters the area they are in, they will fiercely defend themselves from it; prioritizing that large monster instead of the hunters around it. There can only be up to 2 Titanodonts in a single area. When a Titanodont is in an area, no other monster will be there with them, except for predatory ones trying to hunt them down (e.g Great Jaggi and their Jaggi minions).

Habitat
Titanodonts usually prefer hot and dry areas with lots of space to roam. A single Titanodont can have a territory of up to two areas (e.g area 1 and 2 of the Deserted Island) which they travel back and forth to.
