Physiology
Senex Unguis is a quadrupedal monster with sharp fangs and claws. Its highly developed limbs are extremely powerful and can kill prey in one brutal blow and it is rather agile for its build.

Abilities
It has the ability to seep a freezing liquid from its shell, this substance is cold enough to freeze even in warm temperatures and it uses this to keep prey from fleeing as well as defending itself from attackers. It is also covered in a leather like hide that by itself doesn't provide much protection but it can form a type of frozen armor to protect itself.

Behavior
Senex Unguis are solitary hunters, roaming their territory for prey. They are aggressive and will attack intruders on sight to defend their land.

Habitat
They are known to inhabit temperate and colder areas such as the Primal Coastline and Tundra.

Taxonomy:
Order: Therapsida - Suborder: Old Claw - Superfamily: Ice Shell Wyvern - Family: Senex Unguis

The guild used to prohibit the hunting of this monster due to it once being an endangered species and for a while was thought that it would go extinct, but then their population suddenly grew at a faster rate. Despite its reptilian appearance it is actually a very primitive member of the Fanged Beast monsters.

Habitat Range:
Senex Unguis prefered habitat despite its ice attribute is the temperate rain forest of the Primal Coastline but it can survive in colder regions such as the tundra.

Ecological Niche
One of the apex predators, it is likely high on the food chain only really fearing predators like Deviljho, and Ferrumos. They seem to be around the same level on the food chain as Cornucorpus and seem to have a rivalry with them.

Behavior
They are solitary hunters normally keeping to them selves and tend to shy away from conflict with other large monsters.
