Ghirarax

Gear REX are special Brute Wyverns that are seen in various areas.



Physiology
Gear REX appears as a gray toned large Brute Wyvern with curved spines running along the upper sides of their backs all up to the tip of their tail. The tip of the tail is a blade-like form that can also spew a beam of acid. They have a creamy white hide and large claws, even sporting large claws at the back of their legs. They have two pairs of downwards curving horns that look quite similar to their spines. Their arms are very small and they have blue eyes.

Behavior
Very aggressive and vicious. They will challange most if not any monster to a battle. With their power alone, this behavior can be rewarding for the beast as it may use the fallen foe as food by storing it to it's den and eating it later when it's hungry. Gear REX are Brute Wyverns that have developed an extremely tough hide that only blue or purple sharpness can pierce.

Habitat Range
Much of these are unknown as they seem to be nomadic. But so far they have been spotted in temperate, tropical, arctic and even volcanic locales.

Ecological Niche
High atop the food chain. These beasts are truly only challanged by other elder dragon level monsters such as other Elder Dragons, Deviljho and Rajang. They seem to prey on anything, but they prefer easier prey to feast on.

Biological Adaptations
As mentioned previously, Gear REX's scales and hide alike are tough. Their scales and carapace are much tougher however. While explosives do still harm through it's body without worries, this still makes this creature a fierce opponent. The beast also has powerful legs, jaws and tail. It's huge claws can penetrate the earth, giving the creature great grip on any surface. This also allows it to stand it's ground alot easier. The beast's tail has a red blade-like tip that it can use to attack foes with, but is also able to fire a straight line of incredibly corrosive mucus from it's tail. It produce this mucus from it's mouth too. As a side note, this mucus can be made into a highly flexible and sticky substance. Gear REX's roar is also quite powerful, able to fling targets that are close, similar to Tigrex. They tend to use this roar offensively too. They can also fling quite large scales from it's back that it can use as projectiles. These missiles explode when struck, or if they are affected by the beast's roar. These scales' explosions tend to leave behind dust that was inside the scale. It seems to explode quite easily similar to Teostra's dust, however this dust does not need to be ignited for them to explode. But igniting this dust still makes them explode. Some of this dust can also be found on Gear REX's body. When combined with the monster's roar, they can amplify the roar so it can stun alot easier. Afterwards the scales explode like usual.

Moves and other states
Gear REX keeps the moves it had before, with some being changed a little. However, it has a few new ones up it's sleeves. When enraged, the monster will huff angrily and it's body will start to cause small amounts of steam. When exhausted, it will drool alot, and thus it will produce alot of mucus on it's mouth, however it will fail to fire it from it's tail. Also keep in mind to bring weapons with atleast blue sharpness if your a blademaster. Otherwise you may be bouncing alot.

 * Ground Bite, leans back a little and bites anything below it. Also flings scales when enraged.

 * Grinding Stomp, the Gear REX will stamp it's foot down, and grind it towards it while it has stabbed it's claws into the earth. Spreads some Blastblight inflicting dust clouds.
