Ventugarul

Ventugarul is a large Sauridian which is known to inhabit forested and jungle regions.

Physiology
Ventugarul is a large Sauridian which resembles the Diplodocus. This means it has a large body with a long neck and a very long, flexible whip-like tail. It also has pores in its tail from which it can release a sleep-inducing chemical. Ventugarul has a claw on one digit on its front limbs and on three digits of its rear limbs. It has many small spike-like spines running down its back. Ventugarul also has groups of small spikes on both side of its body at its shoulder and has osteoderms running down the side of its body horizontally. Ventugarul also has four spikes on its head, two on both sides, a large one which extends downwards from the back of its lower jaw and a small one which is at about eye level and extends upwards. The top of Ventugarul's body is delft blue in terms of color and the spines on its back are also delft blue with their midnight blue-colored tips. It has several delft blue-colored spots going into the lower part of its body. The bottom of its body is a liberty blue in terms of color. Its claws are black in color and its eyes are royal yellow in terms of color.

Behavior
Ventugarul are rather docile monsters and won't become aggressive until they feel threatened, but at this point they're incredible dangerous as their tails can be swung so fast that it creates waves of air that can cut through trees. They spend a large amount of their time grazing and feeding on leaves from trees.

Placement in Food Chain
Ventugarul are large herbivorous Sauridians which occupy a position high in the food chain. Their large size comes paired with a large amount of physical strength. This, together with the Ventugarul's abilities and surprising agility, makes Ventugarul a difficult monster to prey on, only powerful monsters and Elder Dragons safely being capable of doing so, but even then they can suffer from injuries trying.

Behavior towards Other Monsters
Ventugarul are rather docile and will let small monsters be around them as long as they don't provoke the Sauridian at which point it will just give a quick swipe of its tail to deter them. Ventugarul will also not mind large monsters as long as they don't threaten it, but if they do the Sauridian can become quite aggressive rather quickly. Ventugarul will only flee from powerful monsters and Elder Dragons whenever necessary.

Tracks
Ventugarul can leave behind several tracks for hunters to utilize in tracking it down. These tracks include "Large Round Prints", which can be found on the ground, "Blue Scales", which can be found on the ground, "Sleep-Inducing Chemical", which can be found on the ground or on walls, and "Large Whip Marks", which can be found on the ground or on walls.

Hunt Cutscene

 * Location: Jurassic Frontier
 * Synopsis: As the hunter enters Area 6 of the Jurassic Frontier, they notice several Larinoths walking around in the area as a bunch of Maccao enter the area and start going towards the juvenile Larinoth. As the Maccao are about to reach the small Larinoth, the ground in the area starts shaking as something large enters the area from Area 4. The hunter, Maccao and Larinoth look towards what has entered the area and it's revealed to be a Ventugarul. The Ventugarul starts making it way towards the Maccao which decide to run away from the large Sauridian. The Ventugarul then starts making its way back towards Area 4 with the hunter slowly following and drawing their weapon, but they step on a stick, making a loud cracking noise. The Ventugarul turns towards the noise and sees the hunter unsheathing its weapon and turns itself towards the hunter. The Ventugarul roars, marking the start of the hunt.

Ecology Cutscene

 * Location: Great Forest
 * Synopsis: The cutscene begins by showing a large area of the Great Forest with many trees and a Ventugarul feeding on the leaves from the trees. Suddenly, a Velocidrome with its pack enters the area making the Ventugarul turn its head towards them. The Velocidrome with its pack leap onto the Ventugarul and start biting and clawing away. This causes the Ventugarul to start running away, shaking its body around, causing several Velociprey to fall off. The Ventugarul then twirl swipes its tail at the Velociprey, creating a tornado which carries the Velociprey away. The Velocidrome continues to try taking down the large Sauridian, but the Sauridian manages to finally shake off the Velocidrome which however gets back on its feet quickly. The Ventugarul then swipes its tail in the direction of the Velocidrome, sending out an air wave that launches the Velocidrome back and makes it decide to flee. The Ventugarul starts walking out of the area as the cutscene starts ending.

Abilities
Ventugarul are large Sauridians which means they possess a large amount of physical strength. They're easily capable of crushing many monsters under their sheer mass and many of their other physical attacks are strong enough to deter attackers. Despite the Ventugarul's size, it's surprisingly mobile, being capable of running around at surprising speeds. Ventugarul are capable of breathing out strong blasts of air and even streams of air. Ventugarul are also capable of swiping their flexible whip-like tail to send out waves of air. They're also capable of creating tornadoes with their tail by swiping it in a twirling motion. Ventugarul are even capable of sending out waves of air sharp enough to cut through trees and cause large marks on rocks by swiping its tail at incredible speeds. Ventugarul are also capable of releasing a sleep-inducing chemical from pores in its tail which it can spread thanks to its air wave-producing capabilities.

Rage and Tired States

 * Rage State: When Ventugarul becomes enraged, it will start huffing out smoke and small particles will be coming from the pores in its tail due to the sleep-inducing chemical. This means it will more commonly use attacks which can cause sleep.
 * Tired State: When Ventugarul becomes tired, it will start drooling and its air wave attacks will move slower than usual. It will also sometimes fail its elemental attacks that involve it breathing out air.

Frenzy, Apex, Hyper and Tempered
Ventugarul can become affected by the Frenzy Virus and thus turn Frenzied, but Ventugarul attaining the Apex State have not been confirmed. Ventugarul have also been found to attain the Hyper and Tempered States.

Frenzied Ventugarul have the usual changes of a Frenzied monster, but also have a chance to cause Frenzy with its air breath attacks. These attacks might also leave Frenzy Virus pools like Gore Magala is capable of.

Whenever Ventugarul is mounted on its neck, the hunter will be located somewhere from just past the head to near where the body itself starts and will either be located on top of the Ventugarul's neck or on either side of its neck. The Ventugarul will try to get hunters off by shaking its neck, by running around and by slamming the side of its neck into walls.

Whenever Ventugarul is mounted on its back, the hunter will be located somewhere from just past where the body starts to a little bit away from the base of the tail and will either be located on top of the Ventugarul's back or on either side of its body. The Ventugarul will try to get hunters off by shaking its body, by running around and by slamming the side of its body into walls.

Whenever Ventugarul is mounted on its tail, the hunter will be located just past the base of the tail and will either be located on top of the tail or on either side of its body. The Ventugarul will try to get hunters off by violently shaking its tail around, by running around and by swiping its tail past walls or the ground.

Taxonomy

 * Order: Saurischia
 * Suborder: Sauropodomorpha
 * Superfamily: Wind Tail Wyvern
 * Family: Ventugarul

Ventugarul are large monsters and members of the Sauridian class which also includes the likes of Hyogoros, Namekavar and Jeracerafim.

Habitat Range
Ventugarul have been found inhabiting a wide range of forested and jungle areas. These areas include the Verdant Hills, Old Jungle, Jungle, Great Forest, Deserted Island, Flooded Forest, Misty Peaks, Primal Forest, Everwood, Jurassic Frontier, Ancient Forest, Tide Island, Lost City, Lonely Island, Extinct Volcano, Evergreen Jungle, Desolate Village, Stained Jungle and Enclave Jungle.

Ecological Niche
Ventugarul are large herbivorous Sauridians and feed on a wide range of vegetation especially leaves from trees, but will also occasionally feed on some fruit especially in jungle regions.

Ventugarul's large size means small monsters have absolute no chance of taking down a Ventugarul as even the young are large enough to crush the likes of Velociprey or Jaggi with their weight. Young, sick and elderly Ventugarul are under threat from the likes of Velocidrome, Great Jaggi, Great Wroggi as long as they're with their pack. The young are however commonly protected by adults meaning they're generally safe. A healthy adult Ventugarul can easily fend off the likes Velocidrome, Yian Kut-Ku, Iodrome and Gypceros. Ventugarul are also capable of getting rid of the likes of Nargacuga, Rathian, Agsolestea, Waeopial, Mauragris and Chyrmos with relative ease, but rarely these monsters might be able to take down a Ventugarul. The likes of Rathalos, Zinogre, Abiorugu, Ajamu Ramai, Wyesperos, Kapnorax, Mandeibos and Yulongreat have more chances of taking down a healthy adult Ventugarul, but even then they may not succeed and if they do they can still suffer from severe or even mortal wounds due to the Ventugarul's incredible strength and abilities.

The only monsters which can somewhat safely prey upon these Sauridians are Elder Dragon-Level monsters, like Solmaron, Ryatroxos and Tsunami Voluron, powerful Deviants, like Dreadking Rathalos, Hellblade Glavenus and Dragonvoice Brute Tigrex, and the occasional Elder Dragon. But even these may sometimes not come out unscathed when hunting this Sauridian.

Biological Adaptations
Like most other Sauridians, Ventugarul has grown to be incredibly large in size compared to many other monsters, allowing it to reach the leaves from trees with ease, sometimes even get up on its hind legs to reach the leaves of tall trees. Despite the Ventugarul's large size, it's still quite fast, being capable of running at surprising speeds. Ventugarul have developed a very long and flexible tail which seems very whip-like. They're capable of moving this tail in many different ways thanks to its flexibility, allowing them to easily hit foes with a painful and fast strike. However, the Ventugarul primarily uses its tail to send out air waves due to swiping it at incredible speeds. It can even use it to create small tornadoes and if the tail is swiped fast enough, it can even generate air waves that can cut through trees and solid rock. Ventugarul also have pores in its tail from which it can release a special sleep-inducing chemical that can then be further spread thanks to its air wave-producing capabilities. Ventugarul are also capable of breathing out blasts and streams of air thanks to specialized sacs that can store air similarly to the lungs, but are also capable of storing this air for later usage. This can include offensive purposes or for refilling the lungs if necessary.

Behavior
Ventugarul are large Sauridians which are generally docile unless it feels threatened at which point it can become very aggressive. They spend a large amount of their time grazing and feeding. During the mating season, Ventugarul might group up to protect each other while the young are hatching. Once the young are hatched, females will group up together with their young until they're old enough to fend for themselves while the males go their own way.
