Alabaster Zabarugga

The Alabaster Zabarugga is a subspecies of the Zabarugga found in cold environments.

Physiology
The Alabaster Zabarugga has pure white fur, larger, more curved and pointed horns as well as even stronger legs than its desert-dwelling counterpart. Additionally, it has great control over the ice element, making it a dangerous opponent.

Behavior
Alabaster Zabarugga live in harsh and cold environments, accounting for their even more aggressive behavior.

Abilities
Instead of focusing on brute force and swift movements, the Alabaster Zabarugga prefers to attack with the ice element. Additionally, when enraged its fur can emit an icy aura that inflicts iceblight when the hunter is within it for too long. What's more, it coats its already sharp and pointed horns in a layer of ice.

With its stronger leg muscles it is not only able to deliver very powerful blows, it also can pull out large chunks of ice and hurl it at opponents with strong kicks, much like Blangonga. Some scientists believe that this behavior is not natural, claiming that the Alabaster Zabarugga has learned it by mirroring the likes of Blangonga and Jade Barroth.

Interactions With Other Monsters
Some turf wars are modified versions of the ones the original species has.
 * Versus Other Alabaster Zabarugga: The two individuals paw the ground, snorting and emitting deep and guttural growls. Suddenly both charge into each other making their heads clash audibly. After this both rear and attempt to kick the opponent with their hooves. The stronger individual suddenly fires a beam of ice, the sheer force of this attack launching its opponent forcefully onto the ground. The damage from the beam combines with the fall damage, resulting in a total of 1000 damage.
 * Versus Blangonga: The Blangonga circles the Alabaster Zabarugga, the beast standing tall and with its head held high in an almost arrogant manner. Then the ape roars, summoning three Blango that immediately latch onto the Zabarugga. Jumping and bucking the Zabarugga shakes them off and violently kicks them. Intimidated, the Blangonga backs off before unexpectedly pouncing at the Alabaster Zabarugga. The Alabaster Zabarugga reacts incredibly fast, crashing into the Blangonga with its large horns and launching it away. This deals a total amount of around 950 damage.
 * Versus Jade Barroth: Both monsters roar at each other, the Zabarugga bellowing and barking while also rearing. The Barroth lowers its head and charges at the Zabarugga, the Fanged Beast reacting in the same way. As the violently crash into each other, both receiving damage - about 450 each. The recoil from the crash makes the Barroth flinch, while the Alabaster Zabarugga just shakes its head. Suddenly it barks and fires a wall of icicles, dealing around 100 damage five subsequent times.
 * Versus Barioth: The Barioth and the Alabaster Zabarugga growl at each other. The Barioth takes to the skies, wanting to pounce at the Alabaster Zabarugga. The beast, however, reacts swiftly, positioning its head and, with a jump, crashing into Barioth and launching it onto the floor. This deals aound 900 damage, however, the Barioth gets up again and pounces against the Zabarugga, striking it with its fangs. This deals minor damage, around 90, making the Zabarugga a clear winner.
 * Versus Gammoth: Despite the Gammoth's impressive size, the Alabaster Zabarugga does not hesitate taunting it. The Alabaster Zabarugga tries to pounce at the Gammoth, but it suddenly strikes with its trunk, dealing around 500 damage and launching the Alabaster Zabarugga down. However, the Zabarugga gets up again and fastly unleashes a very powerful beam of ice, that is strong enough to wound the Gammoth's trunk and deal around 900 damage.
 * Versus Rajang: The Rajang and the Alabaster Zabarugga circle each other, before the Rajang enrages - it performs the animation usually displayed when it enters armord mode - and rams the Zabarugga with a bodycheck. Brutally and crazily swinging at the Zabarugga, it deals over 1500 damage. Suddenly, the Zabarugga manages to kick the Rajang away and ram it to create distance. It then fires a large beam of ice, that frontally hits the Rajang and deals around 1000 damage. This confrontation is an obvious tie.
