Seratikes

Seratikes is a Behemoth notable for it's axe-like bones found along it's body. Known to be a major threat due to the beast's vicious axes and also vicious aggression if provoked.

Physiology
The monster appears to have a large build with long forelegs and hindlegs. It's scales appear to be a bronze brown and seems to have a blue carapace of sorts that is found on the monster's torso. On it's shell appears to be boney bumps that line the flanks of the monster's back and top of the shell. It has these bumps on it's neck and tail as well. It's claws are blunt, but help the monster with movement. Lastly, it has many axe-like bones with sharp spike-like edges on some as well. It has two pairs on it's jaws, one large pair and two smaller ones. It's horn is blunt, but certainly more effective than the other bone bumps. There are more axe-like bones found along it's tail, with two pairs found at the tip.

Behavior
A passive monster unless it feels threatened, is provoked or hungry. These Behemoths make sure the opponent remembers them with it's vicious bone axes. If provoked enough, they will chase down aggressors until they can't catch up or they are dead. They also cleave down trees in forested areas to make way for themselves.

Ecology
A Behemoth which is not mistaken for any other Behemoth due to it's unique spines.

Habitat Range
Seratikes' habitats aren't understood, as to what it prefers. Thought to be nomadic, they have so far been spotted within the Everwood, Sunken Hollow and Volcanic Hollow. In the New World, they are seen in the Ancient Forest, but some hunters claim that they wander to the Wildspire Waste and the top of the Rotten Vale as well.

Ecological Niche
A large threat with barely no real predators. Themselves they are generally omnivores, feeding on tree bark, grass, wheat, certain vegetables and fruits even. As such, there has been incidents where Seratikes wander onto farm fields and eat the crops. For meat, they prefer to eat small monsters such as most Herbivores and Bird Wyverns, with the occasional Amphibian young such as Tetsucabra tadpoles and fish such as Gajau and such. They have to compete with other large monsters such as Rathalos, Duramboros, Trakhios, Gravios, and Ampaltus to name a few. They only have to worry about Elder Dragon level monsters such as Deviljho, Solmaron and Bazelgeuse.

Biological Adaptations
Aside from having powerful limbs, including a powerful and long tail that it usually grinds along the ground, the monster is able to endure lots of punishment until it finally backs down. Their shell is quite durable, and if an opponent were to strike there, the Seratikes could whip them with it's lethal tail. The boney axes it has on it's jaws are the most durable, as it uses them the most. Not only do they act as weapons, they help the monster dig through bone and flesh, both which it feeds on. The bones it eats provides it with the required nutrients and such that it's bones require to become tough. This is why Seratikes is more commonly seen hunting than eating vegetation, unless if the vegetation were to have calcium and the like. As it's tail axes aren't as durable, they do break off at points. But they regrow in a few days. Alas, they may not look the same and might have a different shape altogether. Sometimes not even resembling an axe. It's tusks however do not regrow as easily. Maybe not even at all. Incase it has to, the Behemoth will utilize the earth and cover it's blades in chunks of earth. This does more harm than good, but it helps the monster deliver heavier hits if cutting isn't the option. It can also launch earth chunks by using it's tusks as shovels. Similarly, the monster will also cut down trees to attempt to use them to either trap or damage opponents, or just to mark territory.

Moves and other states.
Seratikes uses it's axes the most, as to be expected. So looking out for it's tail and head is certainly wise. When enraged, it will huff smoke and it will rattle it's bones more. When tired, it will drool, and it will sometimes get stuck with it's attacks.
