Belomos

Belomos are Fanged Beasts.

Physiology
Belomos are large, equine Fanged Beasts that resemble Mustang horses. The coat is primarily blood red, with an orange-and-yellow mane that stands on end, starting at the head and spanning the length of its back. The mane bears a strong resemblance to a flame. The tail is dark red. Their hooves are black like charcoal.

Abilities
Belomos possess flint-like hooves similar to Asprotis. Belomos' hooves, however, produce flames instead of light. They can set their hooves on fire to deliver flaming kicks to enemies or produce bursts of fire around them. They also scatter an explosive dust from their tail which they ignite with their hooves.

Taxonomy

 * Order: Perissodactyla
 * Family: Apocalequs
 * Species: Asprotis

Habitat Range
Belomos and its kin prefer to live in temperate and tropical areas.

Ecological Niche
Belomos are scavengers that pick flesh off of carcasses of larger monsters. It usually obtains its meals by waiting for other predators affected by its pheromones kill each other. Should it need to hunt, it will go after creatures of similar size, even though it is definitely more than capable of taking down large wyverns such as Rathalos.

Biological Adaptations
Belomos possess flint-like hooves that they strike against the ground to create burst of flames in order to burn enemies. By doing so they can also coat their hooves in flames. They also possess powerful legs that they use to deliver flaming kicks to foes and to move with astounding speed. A special explosive dust is produce and scattered by their tail. What the dust is exactly is unknown, but it has explosive properties and can be detonated when the beast smashes its hooves against the ground. The dust appears to be similar to dandruff. What makes these Fanged Beasts truly dangerous, however, is the aggression-increasing pheromone they secrete from their bodies. This pheromone can make turn even the most docile herbivores into extremely aggressive animals. Monsters affected by this pheromone will attack other monsters on sight, and eventually die off due to the pheromone. Belomos will find a secluded spot to hide in while it watches other predators fight each other until they're all dead.

Behavior
Ironically, Belomos are quite docile themselves but turn aggressive if they detect a potential threat.
