Monster Hunter Bestiary: Fanged Beasts

## Fanged Beasts  
Once known as Pelagus, Fanged Beasts are mammalian creatures with no wings. They are often much faster than other larger threats, but not all of them are aggressive. Many of these beasts will ignore adventurers unless they make themselves known or startle the beast. While other Fanged Beasts attack on site, using the environment and speed to their advantage.

Fanged Beasts exhibit a wide variety of dietary habits; some are strictly herbivorous or carnivorous, while others subsist on insects. Most of them have unique attribute for survival, such as powerful forelimbs or large tusks, and are well evolved for the environment they live in. Others form packs, with the strongest of them as the Alpha.

### Bullfango & Bulldrome
Although veteran adventurers can generally take a bullfango out easily, they can be dangerous for beginners and may even pose a threat to more experienced adventurers when several attack at once. Bulldromes on the other hand have larger tusks than Bullfango, and a layer of white fur, as opposed to Bullfango's black fur. Bulldromes are more agile when running and proficient at finding and locking onto their victims. These Fanged Beasts are sometimes found in packs and will charge at all intruders once noticed. They are very territorial, and can be a considerable nuisance.

### Lagombi 
A large, wombat-like Fanged Beast. Its ears are long and highly sensitive, and its face features a beak-like mouth along with small red eyes. A Lagombi's belly is made of a low-friction material and is shaped so that it can slide upon the ice like a sled. It is covered in a thick fur coat to keep it warm in its sub-zero homeland.

A Lagombi has superb hearing in order to remain aware of predators. It attacks by throwing chunks of ice, swiping with its claws, and sliding around on its belly in order to ram foes. To traverse from area to area it slides on its belly much like a penguin. Lagombi is a relatively docile monster, but will respond with aggression when provoked or threatened. It is evidently an insectivore, as it enjoys feeding on Bnahabra.

### Arzuros
Arzuros is noted for its turquoise colored fur and ursine body structure. It has a ridge of erect hair aligned with its nose. Its back is made of a tough hide, somewhat characteristic of a carapace. Hair runs from its cheeks, connecting to its back, where it forms a trim along the sides of the back. The claws of an Arzuros have elongated, red nails. Each claw has a tough brace encasing and protecting the wrist and forearm. Arzuros has large, bulky legs connected to much smaller feet and a short, wide tail.

Arzuros is armed with two vicious claws which it uses for most of its attacks. It can use its large body and surprising agility for charge attacks and pinning down prey.

Arzuros are omnivorous creatures that enjoy feasting on fish and honey. When eating honey, Arzuros pays little to no attention to its surroundings. When threatened by other large monsters, Arzuros will try to use its size and claws to frighten the monster, or will use its agility to escape. Arzuros often hangs its tongue out of its mouth.

Volvidon is covered in a series of red armor plates, which are segmented around the midsection and allow the Volvidon to curl into a ball. It possesses an extremely long, chameleon-like tongue which is covered in sticky saliva. Being a Fanged Beast, the Volvidon uses attacks similar to those of Arzuros and Lagombi. It is known to pull prey and foes toward its mouth using its long tongue. In addition to aiding transportation, its ability to roll up into a ball allows it to crush foes during combat. It will typically avoid trouble, but if cornered, Volvidon can be surprisingly aggressive.

### The Conga & Congalala
They resemble pink gorillas with a face of a hippopotamus, black underbellies. The Conga have a blonde patch of hair on top of their head while the Congalala spike on its head is actually hair that the Congalala has smoothed into shape to signify that they are the pack leader. Congalalas are surprisingly intelligent beasts.

Despite their apparently adorable appearance, the Conga & Congalala should never be underestimated. While they are for the most part very docile, they react well to the presence of herbivores, so long as they give a wide berth. They can quickly become aggressive to anything that disrupts feeding or startles them, for example, if they see Adventurers.

Congas are known for their ability to charge at hunters, like Bullfangos (but slower), travel in packs, and fart on enemies. While the Congas are known for their foul breath attack which varies based on their diet.

### The Blango & Blangonga
White-furred, ape-like creature with a bright red face. The skin beneath its coat is a dull purple color. The Blango can burrow underneath the snow in wait for prey or stalk the rock and ice above. Blangos frequently hunt in packs. Although weak when fighting alone, Blango will fight ferociously when led by a Blangonga. As the alpha-male of the pack, the Blangonga is twice as large as the average Blango and recognized by its giant fangs, whiskers, head-crown, and with a much more aggressive temperament. Its strong, muscled limbs allow it to run and leap at a startling speed. Blangongas are incredibly aggressive creatures. They will ruthlessly attack adventurers and prey, yet shy away from anything larger than themselves. Blangonga live almost exclusively in the snowy climates. Their thick coat keeps them warm and serves as the perfect camouflage

By calling out to its pack, the Blangonga can summon Blangos to fight beside it in battle. Its deadly speed can bewilder the novice adventurer, as they can perform a charge that can send them rolling into their foes and deal out massive damage. Blangongas can break ice at their feet and hurl it at adventurers, or spray ice shrapnel that can tear foes apart.

### Rajang
The rajang is a ultra-aggressive creature that is rarely sighted and seldom survived. Widely regarded as the pinnacle in unparalleled physical prowess The Rajang is said to be a loner, and this isolated life has made it difficult to pin down its territorial leanings.

However, notable differences include Rajang's broader muscles, large horns, hairy tail tip and its ability to use electricity-based attacks. The Rajang's most notable attack is its ability to shoot electricity from its mouth, either as a blast or a beam. They are hated by many adventurers, due to their combination of speed, aggression and power.
