Solmaron

Solmaron (ラタイロリュ Ratairoryu) are large, powerful Brute Wyvern and rivals of the mighty Deviljho.

Physiology
Solmaron is a giant bipedal Brute Wyvern which is characterized by its giant sail on its back. These Brute Wyvern also have giant arms and legs and a large club-like tail shaped similarly to Gravios' tail. These giant Brute Wyverns have such large arms they will often lean their body on them. The sail mostly covers its back but also slightly covers the tail and the neck. It has a small sail-like crest on top its head and they have red eyes. They have a large crocodile-like head like a Spinosaurus.

Its body is orange, while the club-like tail is more of a brownish orange. The sail on its back is a maroon red which also counts for the small crest on top of its head. Its claws on both its arms and legs are a dark red.

Behavior
Solmaron are nomadic monsters just like Deviljho and they will often fight with their rivals over food. They are super-predators just like Deviljho and they will try to overtake the territory of any monster if they want food. Unlike Deviljho however they don't consume as much energy and will take their time killing their prey and eating it.

Placement in Food Chain
Solmaron are powerful, invasive monsters which will take a position at the top of the food chain of the environments they invade like Deviljho. They're easily capable of preying on small monsters and even larger monsters are under constant threat from them. Only other powerful monsters are capable of being a threat to these Brute Wyverns.

Behavior towards Other Monsters
Solmaron are incredibly aggressive monsters and will quickly attack small monsters in the same area as it. Large monsters are also bound to get attacked by these large Brute Wyverns.

Tracks
Solmaron can leave behind several kinds of tracks for hunters to utilize in tracking it down. These tracks include "Massive Prints", which can be found on the ground, "Giant Claw Marks", which can be found on the ground or on walls, "Scorching Scale", which can be found on the ground, and "Armored Scute", which can be found on the ground.

Specific Locale Interactions
Solmaron doesn't have any specific locale interactions.

Special Behaviors
When a monster like Great Jagras, Great Jaggi, Velocidrome, Kulu-Ya-Ku, etc. is in the same area as Solmaron, the Solmaron might grab the monster with its jaws and use it as a weapon against foes in the same fashion of Deviljho.

Introduction Cutscene

 * Location: Misty Peaks
 * Synopsis: As the Hunter enters Area 5 they notice monsters starting to run towards them and past them. They see many monsters and eventually they notice the Tigrex they have been tasked with hunting running. As the Hunter rolls out of the way it runs towards Area 4 as an enormous monster comes running out of Area 6. It looks at the Hunter as it roars and charges at them, beginning the hunt.

Hunt Cutscene

 * Location: Deserted Island
 * Synopsis: The Hunter now knows what the giant monster was that crashed into the hunt for the Tigrex. It was a Solmaron, a large powerful Brute Wyvern and now it is the Hunter's next target. As the Hunter enters Area 5 they notice the enormous Brute Wyvern feeding on a recently killed Rathian. The Hunter slowly tries sneaking towards the Solmaron, but when it starts to sniff the air it looks towards the Hunter while growling. The Solmaron roars as it charges at the Hunter, beginning the hunt.

Ecology Cutscene
Solmaron has no ecology cutscene like Deviljho.

Abilities
Solmaron have large, very muscular arms which they use to rip prey apart and deter any would-be competitors. It also has a large club-like tail it will use to crush any prey and to knock away anything that comes too close. It has large back legs just like a Deviljho allowing it to run at high speeds even with its enormous size. Solmaron are capable of using the Fire and Dragon elements. When enraged these beasts will gain the power to use Blaze in their claws for even more devastating attacks.



Rage and Tired States

 * Rage State: Solmaron's sail will become black and the crest on top its head will too. Its arms will give off a Blaze hue as it starts to use Blaze elemental attacks.
 * Tired State: Solmaron's sail and crest will become a lighter red and it will start to drool.

Just like Deviljho, Solmaron can get affected by the Frenzy Virus and become Frenzied. Solmaron are also capable of overcoming the Frenzy and attaining the Apex State. Solmaron have also been found in the Hyper and Tempered States.

When Frenzied it has the usual changes of a Frenzied monster.

Mounts
Solmaron has a mount animation like that of a Deviljho and it can be mounted on its head, either side of its body and its tail.

When Solmaron is mounted on its head, the hunter will be located around the crest on its head or on either side of its head. The Solmaron will try to get hunters off by violently shaking its head around, by running around and by slamming the side of its head into walls or the ground.

When Solmaron is mounted on either side of its body, the hunter will be located on either side of its body due to the large sail on the Solmaron's back blocking mounts on its back. The Solmaron will try to get hunters off by shaking its body, by running around and by slamming the side of its body into walls.

When Solmaron is mounted on its tail, the hunter will be somewhere from the base of the tail to where the clubbed part of the tail starts. The Solmaron will try to get hunters off by shaking its tail around, by running around and by slamming its tail into the ground or walls.

Taxonomy

 * Order: Saurischia
 * Suborder: Theropod
 * Infraorder: Crocodilian Theropod
 * Superfamily: Sailed Wyvern
 * Family: Solmaron

Solmaron are powerful, nomadic Brute Wyvern that can be found almost everywhere, just like Deviljho. They are about as violent and unpredictable and can often be found fighting each other over food. They have a smaller relative named Subodios.

Habitat Range
Solmaron have been seen inhabiting about every habitat that Deviljho have been found inhabiting. Some of these areas include the Misty Peaks, the Deserted Island, the Desert, the Volcano(3rd), the Frozen Seaway and many more.

Ecological Niche
Solmaron can assert themselves as super predators that rival Elder Dragons in any habitat just like Deviljho and even more like Deviljho, the only things that can challenge Solmaron are other Solmaron, some other powerful monsters on par with Elder Dragons and Elder Dragons. These monsters have often been found covered in scars on their body coming from their battles with other large monsters, like Rathalos, Uragaan and Agnaktor. But that's mostly from monsters protecting their turf as Solmaron likes to mostly feed on the defenseless herbivore populations but they aren't picky eaters and as such will try to kill and feed on anything.

Biological Adaptions
Solmaron are very large, orange Brute Wyverns with massive arms. These arms are very long and muscular which makes them incredibly powerful, allowing it to lean on them. They use these enormous arms with their claws to crush and rip apart all of their prey. The jaws of a Solmaron are strong, but they prefer to use their claws to kill and fight. Whenever there is a strong opponent they will use their club-like tail to fight and they will use it with terrifying brutality as they can easily break another monster's skull with it if they hit with enough force. Solmaron use the large sails on their back to gather energy to be able to use their Fire abilities and somehow their Dragon element attacks. When they become enraged and their sail becomes black, they start to gather so much energy they can use Blaze and even more powerful attacks.

Behavior
Solmaron are enormous, orange Brute Wyvern which are very aggressive and nomadic. They will travel from area to area to find food and they will eat anything they can fit into their mouth and bigger if they are desperate. It's unknown how they mate and raise their young but they will, just like Deviljho, secrete a special hormone in order to tell other Solmaron that they aren't in predator mode to avoid attacking each other.
