Rimeron is a Fanged Beast created by T1GREXHUNTER. It was first introduced in Monster Hunter Advance.

Physiology
Rimeron has a strange structure for a Fanged Beast. Instead of the mammalian features typical of the class, it (and it's counterpart, Riernas) is very reptilian. It's head features a glossy dome that just barely shows the features underneath. The most prominent thing under this dome are it's green eyes. They lack teeth, instead having bony ridges of their jaws that allow them to slice meat. Due to the lack of teeth, they tend to swallow food whole. Their tongue is very long, even when it isn't fully extended. It is also full of sensors that allow the Rimeron to get information about anything it's tongue touches. It has quills on the back of it's neck that raise when the Rimeron is startled. It has a large bulge of skin on either side of it's body that resembles a wire or pipe. They have two ridges on their shoulders and two large spines behind either ridge. Their arms are long and relatively featureless, ending in a four-fingered hand. Their legs are also long and end in a four toed foot. However, the legs possess a spike both on the heel and the shin. Their tail is very long and segmented, and ends in a large spine with two smaller spines that point backwards. They use this tail as their strongest method of attack.

Behavior
Rimeron always travel in groups of at least two, due to their relatively weak armor. They make up for this weak armor in attack power, attack variety, and their speedy techniques. They are brutal and at times, even sadistic in nature, and they won't hesitate to fight anything they think they can beat. While they can also be graceful and cautious in combat, they are most often reckless and overwhelming, which often leads to them injuring themselves when their most powerful attacks miss.

Abilities
They lack any special combat abilities. But their tongue does allow them to identify almost anything it touches. The spines on their backs will photosynthesize glucose when their hunger becomes too intense to easily sate. They are also known for their incredible leaping capability, and their ability to stay stuck on various surfaces due to the sticky solution they secrete from their hands and feet.

Rage and Tired States

 * Rage State: Their quills will raise and their breathing will become louder. Their sounds when attacking are also much more forceful sounding.


 * Tired State: They will fall to the ground after leaping, and their tongue will roll out of their mouth. They only stay downed for a few moments.

Mounts
They are mounted between the spines on their backs.

Taxonomy
Rimeron is a Fanged Beast, classified in the same family as Riernas.

Habitat Range
They are found in dense jungle areas and caves. Both of these areas allow them to hide and ambush their prey.

Ecological Niche
They are powerful predators, but they are not excessively powerful. They usually only threaten small monsters in their area, and they tend to stay away from larger monsters.

Biological Adaptations
Their ability to climb, leap, and photosynthesize food make them very resilient to famine and other problems large monsters face. Their stinger is also an adaptation that came about when they were starting to encounter larger and larger monsters.

Behavior
They act aggressively to any small monsters that approach them, but they will usually run away from large monsters. As for when they encounter hunters, they will fight them with caution, making sure they get to a safe distance after attacking. Unfortunately for them, they will sometimes run out of energy when attacking and are left open to a counterattack.

Breakable parts
Head- The dome on their head will crack.

Spines- The spines on it's back will break.

Tail- The tail will be severed close to the stinger. This prevents most attacks involving the stinger.

Trivia

 * Rimeron is based on the Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise, and it's name is a fusion of the names Ridley Scott and James Cameron, the directors of Alien and Aliens respectively.
