Arogelactos

Arogelactos is a massive Bypaldian which has immense power to it, allowing it to be classified as a threat on the level of Major Elder Dragons like Lao-Shan Lung and Gogmazios.

Physiology
Arogelactos is an enormous Bypaldian which towers over all but the largest of monsters. Its entire body is also very muscular and covered in dark blue armor plating. It has several spikes growing out of its limbs and many going down its back. It also has large, sharp fingers and toes and a set of large draconic wings. It has a long draconic tail which is also lined with spikes on the top. It has several large horns on its head which form a sort of crown and it has glowing red eyes.

Behavior
Arogelactos are very territorial monsters and will quickly try to take care of any monsters that would dare try to take its territory. It caused the creation of the Genesis Caverns and can thus easily find its way through the massive area of the caverns.

Hunt Cutscene

 * Location: Advent's Abyss
 * Synopsis: The cutscene begins by showing the hunter entering Area 3 of the Advent's Abyss. The hunter looks around in awe at the massive area before they suddenly hear a loud noise which also causes the ground to shake. The noise slowly becomes louder and the ground also slowly starts to shake more until the hunter notices a massive, dark shadow walking down from the upper part of the area. They realize the shaking and noises are caused by this massive being of which they can only see the red eyes. The massive shadow jumps down from the upper part of the area causing the entire area to heavily shake which nearly throws the hunter off-balance. The hunter can then slowly see more of the giant shadow which is when they realize its the Arogelactos they have to take down. The Arogelactos growls at the hunter, releasing a cold mist from its mouth, after which it roars which marks the beginning of the hunt.

Ecology Cutscene

 * Location: Arctic Ridge
 * Synopsis: The cutscene begins by showing an area of the Arctic Ridge which is being hit by a heavy snowstorm. The cutscene then shows a Gammoth slowly making its way through the area. Suddenly, the Gammoth seems to notice something coming towards it in the heavy snowstorm as the cutscene shows a large silhouette. The silhouette then seems to cause the heavy snowstorm to clear up which reveals it to be an Arogelactos. The Gammoth roars at the Arogelactos, but it doesn't seem to be scared at all and charges towards the Gammoth. The Gammoth retaliates by slamming its large tusks into the Arogelactos which causes it to be knocked back, but it doesn't seem deterred at all and immediately goes back on the offensive. The Gammoth tries to hit the Arogelactos again, but this time it moves out of the way and grabs the tusk of the Gammoth. The Arogelactos kicks the Gammoth while still holding onto its tusk which causes a large portion of the tusk to break off and sending the Gammoth tumbling to the ground. The Arogelactos slowly walks up to the Gammoth, but is then hit by the Fanged Beast's powerful trunk. The Arogelactos, however, now seems to be agitated as it grabs the trunk with one arm and then starts causing its other arm to glow brightly. As the Arogelactos is about to hit the Gammoth's head, the camera quickly pans up as a loud explosion and crunch can be heard before the camera quickly fades to black. The cutscene then shows the Arogelactos in the distance while it's pulling the Gammoth with it and entering a large cavern as the cutscene starts slowly fading to black.

Abilities
Arogelactos are massive Bypaldians which give them immense physical strength that can easily shake the ground and allows them to rip giant boulders out of the ground which it can throw at foes. Arogelactos are also capable of using their massive wings to cause powerful gusts of wind, but they are incapable of flight due to their immense size. They are also capable of breathing out a kind of cold mist which weakens a foe's protection to cold. Arogelactos' primarily ability is that they can emit a kind of cold energy which allows it to cool down the area around it, freezing it to ice-cold temperatures and thus creating areas of ice. When angered enough, this energy will become much more intense as the Arogelactos starts causing large explosions of this energy and firing it out in beams. This is signified by its body parts glowing brightly. This Bypaldian is said to be even capable of freezing entire ecosystems and some say even causing a global ice age.



Rage and Tired States

 * Rage State: When Arogelactos becomes enraged, it will start constantly huffing out a cold mist. It will also start intensifying its cold energy which will cause it to start creating large bursts of energy explosions and lasers which can commonly cause Eternal Iceblight.
 * Tired State: Arogelactos cannot become tired.

Frenzy, Apex, Hyper and Tempered
Arogelactos cannot get affected by any of these statuses.

Mounts
Due to Arogelactos' massive size, it can be mounted on three spots: its head, its back and its tail.

Whenever Arogelactos is mounted on its head, the hunter will be located between its large horns. The Arogelactos will try to get hunters off by violently shaking its head around or by trying to grab the hunter.

Whenever Arogelactos is mounted on its back, the hunter will be located between the Arogelactos' large wings and amongst the large spikes on its back. The Arogelactos will try to get hunters off by violently shaking its back or by trying to grab them. The Arogelactos will also occasionally slam its back into walls or roll on the ground to try and get the hunter off.

Whenever Arogelactos is mounted on its tail, the hunter will be located at the upper part of the tail near to where the tail begins. The Arogelactos will try to get hunters off by violently shaking its tail around or by slamming it into walls or the ground.

Taxonomy
Arogelactos is an immense Bypaldian, both in size and power, which has been mentioned in legends since in ancient times. One of these legends goes as follows:
 * Order: Fanged Giant
 * Suborder: Unknown
 * Family: Gelactos

"Legends speak of three powerful monsters that created the planet long ago.                                                                 A mighty Bypaldian that formed the planet from debris.                                                                                                    A Bird Wyvern that created the sun and cast light down onto the dark rock.                                                                    A lengthy Snake Wyvern that created gravity and electricity.                                                                                    These three titans went into hiding after forming the planet, but their existence is mere rumors.                                      Or so they say."

The other two monsters mentioned in this legend are thought to be Ferslios and ....

Habitat Range
Arogelactos have been primarily found in the Advent's Abyss which is the deepest part of the Genesis Caverns, but it's thought that many other areas like this exist under the Genesis Caverns. The Genesis Caverns are the primary hunting grounds of the Arogelactos, but due to the caverns covering a massive area, it's theorized that Arogelactos can be found hunting in several other arctic areas and some think even areas which aren't arctic. If an Arogelactos were to be in one of these areas, it would cause immense devastation due to its power being on par with that of Major Elder Dragons. Arogelactos have also been located in the Polar Field and the Frozen Forest.

Ecological Niche
Very little is known about the ecology of these massive Bypaldians, but it's thought that due to their immense size and power, they can easily prey on just about anything in the areas it hunts in. These include small monsters like Bullfango, Giaprey and Blango and large monsters like Bulldrome, Giadrome, Lagombi and Great Baggi. Large and strong monsters like Jade Barroth, Aviarctin, Blangonga and Zamtrios are also thought to be likely prey for this giant. Some say even monsters as large and powerful as Tigrex, Gammoth, Barioth, Glacial Agnaktor and Voluron are possible prey for this mighty Bypaldian.

The Bypaldian's immense power allows it to not have to worry about any predators wherever it goes as even monsters like Rajang and Deviljho won't immediately approach an Arogelactos. Despite this, Arogelactos still has to compete with several other powerful monsters which include the likes of Silver Ridge Gammoth, Frostempress Aviarcta, Ukanlos, Jiakoruboru, Toa Tesukatora and Vraoutos. If a battle were to occur with any of these powerful monsters however, an Arogelactos would be sure to put up a good fight with its immense size and power.

Biological Adaptations
Arogelactos are titanic Bypaldians which have an immense amount of physical power due to this size. They have developed a very thick shell which protects their entire body. Their immense size allows them to easily throw giant boulders towards their foes. They have also developed a set of giant wings which allows them to create giant bursts of powerful wind. Unlike many other Bypaldians, Arogelactos possess a large tail which they can swing around at foes. Arogelactos have also developed a kind of energy which allows them to freeze areas around them quickly, generating large amounts of ice. This energy becomes much more intense as the Arogelactos becomes agitated which is signified by the glowing of its body parts. When this happens, the energy can be used to fire off large beams, blasts and explosions at foes which can quickly cause them to be frozen in place. Arogelactos are also capable of breathing out a sort of cold mist which weakens the foe's resilience to ice.

Behavior
Arogelactos are massive Bypaldians which have been mentioned in many legends, but long thought to be mere folklore until it was recently discovered in the Advent's Abyss with the discovery of the Genesis Caverns. Due to this, a large amount of its behavior is still unknown.
