Subodios

Subodios is a medium-sized Brute Wyvern and a relative of the mighty Solmaron.

Physiology
Subodios looks very similar to its much larger cousin, Solmaron, but its head resembles a gharial. It has much narrower jaws like a gharial because of that and on the tip of its jaws it has a 'ghara' just like a male gharial from which it can release the special gas which causes Confusion. Subodios has a sail just like its larger cousin, Solmaron, but its sail is much smaller only extending slightly above the head and only covering the back. Subodios is slimmer than Solmaron caused by it having a much more piscivorous diet instead of constant hunting. Subodios also has stripes going from its sail going down the side of its body. Subodios' lower body is a light bluish-green while the upper body is darker bluish-green, including the stripes and sail.

Behavior
Subodios has a temperament almost entirely opposite to its larger cousin, Solmaron. It is in fact kind of cowardly, running at the slightest sight of a more powerful predator, but it will hunt down smaller predators if necessary. However, most of the time it will feed on fish.

Hunt Cutscene

 * Location: Marshlands
 * Synopsis: As the hunter enters Area 6 of the Marshlands, they notice nothing out of the ordinary besides that there's no small monsters like Hornetaur around. They then notice a weird cloud of gas appearing in the area which they have no idea of what it is. When the cloud reaches them they start feeling weird and confused, no idea anymore where they are or where they are going. They then notice the silhouette of a monster moving towards them and luckily for the hunter, they get out of the confusion just in time, before the monster has the chance to swipe at them. As the cloud clears it is revealed to be a Subodios. The Subodios snarls and then roars at the hunter, beginning the hunt.

Ecology Cutscene

 * Location: Flooded Forest
 * Synopsis: The cutscene begins by showing a Subodios hunting for some fish in a lake in the area. The Subodios then seems to notice a bunch of fish and tries snagging one of them, but it seems to bite into something else. When the Subodios backs away, a fin comes out of the water with a bite mark in it and the monster which the fin belongs to then jumps out of the water in rage. It's a Plesioth, incredibly angry, because of the Subodios biting one of its fins. The Plesioth rushes towards the Subodios which releases its special confusion gas which affects the Plesioth, making it become confused. As the Plesioth starts trashing around, no idea what's going on, the Subodios runs away from the Plesioth which is now slamming itself into trees and spinning around like crazy as the cutscene starts ending.

Abilities
Subodios have similar abilities to their larger relatives, Solmaron, but without the immense physical and elemental power. They instead are capable of producing a special gas which they can release from the tip of their snout which can cause Confusion. They are also quite capable swimmers, but will only use it to get away from danger.

Rage and Tired States

 * Rage State: The Subodios will enter rage mode by stomping with both legs once and then doing a roar. The 'ghara' on the tip of its jaws becomes bigger as it starts being able to release larger amounts of confusion gas from it.


 * Tired State: The Subodios will start drooling and fail doing some of its confusion gas attacks.

Frenzy, Apex and Hyper
Subodios can get affected by the Frenzy Virus and become Frenzied, but not get into the Apex State. They can also get into the Hyper State.

Frenzied Subodios not only have the usual changes of a Frenzied monster, but also have a chance of creating frenzy-filled confusion gas clouds.

Hyper Subodios have the usual changes of a Hyper monster.

Mounts
Subodios has a similar mount situation to Solmaron, but it can still get mounted on its back because of its smaller sail compared to Solmaron.

Taxonomy
Subodios is a smaller relative of the massive and powerful Solmaron. From certain sightings, it's even thought that Solmaron will leave Subodios alone, more often than other monsters.
 * Order: Saurischia
 * Suborder: Theropod
 * Infraorder: Crocodilian Theropod
 * Superfamily: Sailed Wyvern
 * Family: Subodios

Habitat Range
Subodios have been found inhabiting the Verdant Hills, Old Swamp, Marshlands, Deserted Island, Ancestral Steppe, Sunken Hollow, Everwood, Flooded Forest, Misty Peaks and the Ruined Ridge. They have also been found inhabiting the Lonely Island, Relic Isle and the Muggy Marsh.

Ecological Niche
Subodios sit in the middle of the food chain, even though the mostly feed on fish. Smaller predators won't hunt them and Subodios are still capable of hunting these smaller predators. These can include Jaggi, Velociprey, Genprey, but also monsters like Great Jaggi, Velocidrome and Gendrome. Monsters like Arzuros, Daimyo Hermitaur, Tetsucabra and Yian Kut-Ku might also occasionally be hunted, but this comes with great risk for the Subodios. Subodios have plenty of strong competitors like Shogun Ceanataur, Rathian, Najarala and Gobul.

Subodios have several large predators which they have to be careful of like Tigrex, Rathalos, Plesioth and Lagiacrus. Monsters like Deviljho and Solmaron will also hunt Subodios, but Solmaron seems to target Subodios less often than other monsters. Elder Dragons and Deviants are also a serious threat to this Brute Wyvern.

Biological Adaptions
Subodios have developed long, narrow jaws used for fishing which is their primary source of food. They have also become rather capable swimmers which they most often do to try escaping from predators, but can also be used to hunt its favorite prey. It also has reasonably-sized claws to tear up fish which can also be used against other prey or competitors, even though Subodios generally don't try to fight anything similar in strength to them. Subodios' most valuable adaption, however, is its ability to produce a special gas which can confuse enemies. This can be used for hunting smaller predators or even making an escape from a larger predator, for example.

Behavior
Subodios are often rather cowardly around things of similar strength to them as they will rather escape than try fighting the competitor. But occasionally they will fight a competitor and will then use their confusing gas to their advantage. Anything larger than them they will try using their confusing gas to escape from the larger predator.
