Plague Kirin

Plague Kirin (Equus procella umbra), the Harbinger of Shade, is a subspecies of Kirin which has Dragon element rather than Thunder. They are slightly slower than the average Kirin, but are bulkier and deal more damage, as well as having more health. Plague Kirins also have a lower pitch to their sounds. They are feared by hunters and monsters alike. They have red shadows instead of white shadows.



The Plague Kirin, like Kirin, is not weak to any elements, but has the ability to use Dragon on its foes, inflicting Dragonblight, and on some attacks, Poison. Its mane is breakable, when broken it will be flattened.

When enraged, Plague Kirin's mane will surge with darkness, and it will glow red.

Attacks

U-Turn Charge- The Plague Kirin will charge at the hunter, skidding to make a turn, and then charge again. Deals high damage.

Prance- The Plague Kirin jumps from side to side as it runs forwards. Deals medium damage.

Dark Thunder (Front)- The Plague Kirin summons 5 bolts of Dragon lightning at the hunter. Inflicts Dragonblight and deals high damage.

Dark Thunder (360 degrees)- The Plague Kirin summons 8 bolts of Dragon lightning to the front, back, and sides of itself. Inflicts Dragonblight and causes high damage.

Guided Dark Thunder- The Plague Kirin causes a red shadow to follow the hunter, until a giant bolt of Dragon lightning strikes them. This will deal very high damage, and inflicts Dragonblight and Poison.

Bubonic Charge- The Plague Kirin charges at the hunter, followed by a Poison cloud and Dragon lightning. Deals fatal damage and inflicts Poison as well as Dragonblight.

Horn Thrust- The Plague Kirin leaps forward, jabbing at anything in front of it with its horn. Deals moderate damage.

Dark Beam- The Plague Kirin charges up its horn with Dragon, before unleashing a beam of Dragon at the hunter. This will cause the Plague Kirin to fall over, as if it were damaged by bombs or a hammer. This is a OHKO move.

Ecology
The Plague Kirin, despite being as dangerous and demonic as it is, is a herbivore. They eat the plants in their habitats; they eat Dragonfell Berries, which gives them their powers. However, when in desperation, the Plague Kirin will scavenge from carcasses.

These Elder Dragons can be found in the Volcano, Old Volcano, Volcano(3rd), Great Arena, Moat Arena, Desert, Old Desert, Sandy Plains, Forest and Hills, Sunscorched Dunes, and Burning Peak. It is here that they live off of the Volcano's plants and mushrooms.
