Raumataur

Raumataur are Carapaceons with spiked shells and brown carapaces. Notable for their claws more made for smashing.

Physiology
In their appearance they are quite similar to Hermitaur and Ceanataur. They have a rich brown carapace, and more yellow-ish toned claws and feet. Their claws are also a it bulkier with both "blades" of the claws turned into somewhat wide and "blocky" claws that cannot slash. As they have developed to do crushing strikes. They have shells on their backs with spikes. This shell covers the back of the monster and top almost completely.

Behavior
A lot more docile than it's other relatives, it will not mind visitors, unless they are bigger or pose a threat. When it is cornered, it will either burrow away, hide under it's shell or attempt to strike the opponent's head, foreleg or belly. They're sometimes found crushing rocks and ore for fun. They also have been observed competing with eachother, either for fun, competition or some other dispute.

Ecology

 * Order: Decipoda
 * Infraoder: Anomura
 * Superfamily: Hammer Crab
 * Family: Raumataur

Habitat Range
Raumataur prefer rocky locales the most, so they can be found on mountains, canyon locales and other locales such as the Ancestral Steppe. There have been Raumataur found in the Frozen Seaway and Old Volcano as well.

Ecological Niche
They are fairly low in the food chain. Much like it's relatives, Raumataur are omnivores that feed on plants, small organisms and fruits. It also likes to feed on ore. While they can combat against the likes of Calliprey and Remobra, they still fall prey to said monsters, and stronger ones too such as Callidrome, Iodrome, Rathian, Rathalos, Kuarusepusu, Bagarala and it's Subspecies and Elder Dragon level monsters.

Biological Adaptations
These hardy monsters have grown a hard carapace, and an even harder shell on their backs. They can still be nimble too. Their arms are quite strong, and their claws are stronger and tougher. They can punch and hammer rock to chunks, however they don't have the best grip. Raumataur tend to have fairly decent accuracy though, so they have acquired a behavior which has them strike different parts more, even on moving targets. Raumataur also may throw chunks of the terrain at threats if need be. They do not have any form of spitting attack. The shell they grow protects the monster from most attacks. This shell has especially saved it's live when making treks through caves and places where large rocks commonly fall. It's spiked nature also protects the Carapaceon from attackers. When the monster grows older, the shell is shed off, and it has to search for a new place to protect it's very soft tail.

Moves
While not all that dangerous, there are moves you should be aware of.
 * Swipe, much like Hermitaur and Ceanataur.
 * Walking Swipe, much like Hermitaur and Ceanataur
 * Claw Crush, much like Hermitaur and Ceanataur. The monster bashes it's claws together.
 * Shove, much like Hermitaur and Ceanataur.
 * Club, the Raumataur will rise it's claw as it also rises it's body, and smashes it down. Flings Hunters and has a high chance of inflicting Stun. The Raumataur will always taunt after this, hit or miss.
 * Hide, the Raumataur will hide under it's shell.

Breaks
Raumataur has no breaks.

Part Effectiveness
Blue sharpness and above will bounce off the shell. Everywhere else, the sharpness required is above orange.

Interactions
Raumataur won't become aggressive, unless you get too close for too long, or happen to attack one. If one is attacked, the entire group of Raumataur will become aggressive, as they perform their cry. Even still, they will run around now instead of walking, and some will consider attacking the player.

Turf Wars
As a small monster, Raumataur cannot engage in Turf Wars.
