Habitat Range

Ecological Niche
Shaggy Oculossis are voracious, opportunistic predators that eat anything that they can catch. They primarily feed on Kelbi as they can potentially swallow the small Herbivores whole. Lesser predators such as Paolumu and Tzitzi-Ya-Ku can potentially become the beast's prey. They compete with other large predators such as Pink Rathian and Legiana.

Biological Adaptations
Shaggy Oculossis lack any elemental abilities and utilize their own fangs and claws to take down other creatures. Their large eyes grant them excellent night vision. Unlike their relatives, Shaggy Oculossis possess a thick coat of white fur, which gives them their name. The hair falls off quite easily. They noticeably shake off some hair in order to hinder foes. They can actually blind hunters temporarily if the hair gets in their face.

Behavior
Shaggy Oculossis are strictly nocturnal and sleep during the day. Once nightfall comes, they become active. They are extremely ferocious and attack any potential prey. They are completely solitary, so it is unknown as to how individuals interact with each other, or if they even interact at all. Because of this, they are classified as a Lone Species.
