Panthorea

Panthorea is an Elder Dragon that mysteriously appeared in the Relic Isles a long time ago. It invaded villages and is said to still lurk in the ruins of one.

Physiology
Panthorea is a fairly small Elder Dragon, about the size of a Kirin. It resembles a big cat. Panthorea has black fur on the front half of its body and along its back, with the rest being dark grey scales. It has a long, scaly, skinny tail as well. When enraged, glowing white stripes appear along its back, and the fur around its neck poofs up to resemble a lion’s mane. Its eyes also begin to glow white.

Behavior
Panthorea’s habits are mostly unknown. It is an aggressive monster that has no issue trying to invade other territories.

Abilities
Panthorea is surprisingly strong for its size. Most of its physical attacks resemble the likes of Midogaron, with various scratches and bites. This monster is able to use a powerful light green lightning as well. It can charge its claws with electricity to empower them. Panthorea can also use ranged attacks. It can spit lightning into the air, causing bolts to rain down on hunters. It can also spit the lightning directly at hunters. Panthorea is able to blink around a bit similarly to Kirin. A lightning strike will hit the spot where Panthorea was standing, and it will have vanished. Large lightning strikes will hit the area, and Panthorea will emerge and lunge at a hunter from one of them. When Panthorea is enraged, it empowers its attacks more often, and can jump into the air to slam down onto its foes. Occasionally, Panthorea will charge up an orb of lightning before spitting it into the air. It will then hover over the center of the area. Panthorea will do this up to five times until a very large lightning orb is above the area. After the fifth one, Panthorea will leap into the air, and push the orb down, causing a massive explosion that covers almost the entire area. If Panthorea is attacked enough before throwing the orb into the air, it can be cancelled. If this attack is successfully launched, Panthorea is left out of breath, leaving it open for attack.
