Anguilluyankas Ecology



Information
A serpentine monster that uses its body to coil around prey and deliver a deadly shock. An Anguilluyankas coiloing around you almost means certain death.

Taxonomy
Order: Snake Wyvern - Suborder: Snake Wyvern - Family: Anguilluyankas

Anguilluyankas is a member of the Snake Wyvern class. Therefore, its closely related to Najarala, Tidal Najarala, and Remobra.

Habitats
Anguilluyankas's known habitats include the Primal Forest, the Flooded Forest, and the Deserted Island.

Ecological Niche
A powerful predator, Anguilluyankas utilize deadly ambush attacks to constrict and electrocute prey. Herbivores such as Slagoth, Aptanoth, Kelbi, Gargwa, and Rhenoplos make up a large portion of its diet. Other potential meals include Royal Ludroth, Great Wroggi, (Plum) Daimyo Hermitaur, and (Ash) Kecha Wacha. Despite being such a fearsome beast, competition involves equally powerful creatures such as Zinogre, Rajang, Seltas Queen, Gobul, Duramboros, Rathian, and Rathalos. However, should an Anguilluyankas encounter any of these monsters, it is more than capable of holding its own.

Biological Adaptations
Anguilluyankas is well knwon for its ability to generate a powerful electric shock used to electrocute prey and predator alike when it constricts a victim. It creates these electrical currents by highly developed nerve cells in its body that produce far more electricity than normal. In fact, this electricity is so powerful Anguilluyankas has evolved soft rubbery skin to protect itself from its own electricity.

Running through its fangs and claws is a powerful paralyzing toxin. This paralysis-inducing venom might seem redundant considering its electrical capabilities but its actually quite useful in taking down larger targets.

Behavior
Anguilluyankas is an opportunistic ambush predator, hiding in the thick fog of the Primal Forest or the murky water of the Flooded Forest to strike unexpecting prey and shock them.
