Cynodama

Cynodama is a Fanged Wyvern first introduced in Monster Hunter: Evolution.

Physiology
Cynodama is a large, quadrupedal fanged wyvern with tufts of hair and jagged scales covering their leather like skin. Their most notable feature is the thick keratin covered skull and large tusks. Its tail is completely covered in large jagged scales. Cynodamas forelimbs are wide and stocky while its hindlimbs are smaller and held directly under its body.

Abilities
Cynodama are excellent diggers using their powerful forelimbs to burrow into the earth and travel underground. Using their powerful legs in tandem with their heavy upper body and head, Cynodama can run at high speeds to charge attackers with their tusks, using the powerful momentum to maximize the potential for damage. Cynodama are capable of flinging dirt and rocks at high speeds by scrapping their tusks and head against the ground.

Behavior
Cynodama are herbivores, known to feed on bark, tubers, fungi and cacti in the environments they inhabit. Despite this however, they are wildly aggressive towards predators and will pursue anything which aggravates them. Cynodamas are known to use their tusks as weapons against attackers, but will also use them in bouts against other Cynodamas in battles for territory or mating rights.

Habitat
Cynodama are commonly found in dry, arid desert and grassland environments of the new world. The soft, loose earth allows for easy digging for roots, tubers and fungi and plentiful cacti growth.
