Quartz Scolocade

Quartz Scolocade (ドクムカデ亜種, Dokumukade Ashu) is a Subspecies of Scolocade.

Physiology
Quartz Scolocade sports a white, crystalline exoskeleton protecting its bluish-green body. Its feelers, serrated mandibles, and legs are also white and are decorated with blue bands. Its body segments, save for the very last segment that holds its second pair of antennae, have a short, blunt spine on each side. Its compound eyes are a yellow color.

Abilities
Quartz Scolocade can shoot out a high-pressure liquid at its enemies, causing them to be covered in crystals and lose all stamina. Quartz Scolocade can also produce more powerful venom which can now be secreted through its antennae along with its mandibles; a single prick from its sharp antennae can envenomate its victim.

Behavior
Quartz Scolocade, like its black and red relative, is very aggressive. It will attack and consume anything that is not larger than itself. Even then, it is known to challenge larger predatory monsters.

Habitat
Quartz Scolocade is known to inhabit the Ancestral Steppe, Deserted Island, Everwood, Flooded Forest, Frozen Seaway, Heaven's Mount, Jurassic Frontier, Marshlands, Misty Peaks, Primal Forest, Sunken Hollow, and the Tundra.

Etymology
The prefix Quartz was chosen because it describes the monster's white, crystalline exoskeleton that resembles the mineral of the same name.
