Dusty Tetsucabra

A Tetsucabra Subspecies that resides in deserts. It can survive so well because it is very well suited to searching for water sources. Some desert towns supposedly have domesticated some in order to find water.

Physiology
The Dusty Tetsucabra is about the size of the original. It has a brown underbelly and jaw. This Tetsucabra also appears to have yellow scales, but that's just from the collected sand and rocks covering its body, which it uses to help protect its skin from the sun. Its scales are actually a lavender and pink color.

Behavior
The Dusty Tetsucabra is much like the original in terms of behavior. It coats itself in sand and dirt to use both for camouflage, and to protect itself from the sun.

Abilities
Being a subspecies, Dusty Tetsucabra shares every attack with the original. The rocks that this monster uses explode with water when broken, doing water damage. These rocks are smaller than the original's though. Dusty Tetsucabra can throw rocks up and behind itself to try and land an unexpected attack. The large rocks that it digs up will roll on slopes. This subspecies doesn't spit mucus that causes fatigue. Instead, it spits out mud. In G Rank, when it jumps through the air with a rock, it will sometimes throw it directly at a hunter while in mid air.
