Akurinzou

Akurinzou is an elder dragon-level neopteron that is fought in the end-game of High Rank and in G Rank.

Physiology
Akurinzou are enormous centipede-esque monsters armed with lined up crystals on their backs alongside various protruding spikes that can impale the hardest rocks.

Behavior
Unlike the Akura Vashimu that are typically docile when unprovoked. Akurinzou are completely hostile: attacking and destroying everything in its path. It has caused many caverns to cave in and collapse.

Abilities
It has various attacks that involve digging through the cave walls alongside climbing around them. They can inflict Undrea, Crystallization, Paralysis and Bleeding to Hunters.

Habitat Range
Similarly to Akura Vashimu and Akura Jebia, Akurinzou are natives of the Akura Region and are typically found in large caves. Unlike the Akura Vashimu and AKura Jebia however that typically fit within their differing ecosystems, Akurinzou are mostly invasive and typically threaten the ecosystem due to their size and the many collapses of caves they have been known to cause. This puts them in the elder dragon-level class.

Ecological Niche
A neopteron that is on-par with Elder Dragons. Can kill and consume pretty much everything that it shares a habitat with whether it be flying wyverns, fanged beasts, carapaceons or minor elder dragons.

Biological Adaptations
The multitudes of sharp spikes and thick carapace alongside slim body allows them to propel themselves into cave walls alongside dig through them. Their size and ability to crystalise opponents makes them one of the most dangerous neopterons in Minegarde.
