Ragilodillos

Ragilodillos are crocodilian Amphibians that thrive in savanna areas.



Physiology
They appear as yellow bodied frog-like monsters with heads that belong to a crocodile or alligator. Their eyes are brown and orange in color, and have dark yellow horns on their head and spines running along their back all the way to their short tails. They have a light brown underbelly. Their claws are gray in color.

Behavior
Ragilodillos are quite territorial monsters. They spend most of their time waiting for prey to drink at their lake. Once prey comes close, it will silently move along the lake floor and then quickly lunge and snap at them. They can swallow an Aptonoth or Apceros whole, as well.

Ecology
An Amphibian related to Tetsucabra and Zamtrios. Ragilodillos are large monsters which like to nest within lakes, oasis or rivers.
 * Order: Caudata
 * Suborder: Croco Frog
 * Family: Ragilo

Habitat Range
Ragilodillos are seen in savannas, however they are found in desert areas as well. They just need water to live in.

Ecological Niche
Ragilodillos are around the middle or higher. They seem to prey on most monsters that happen to drink on it's lake. Including Apceros, Great Jaggi, Kulu Ya-Ku, Qurupeco and Copper Blangonga. If food does not come, they will hunt on land or feed on other monsters' kills. These Amphibians could have trouble with monsters such as Diablos, Monoblos, Gasurabazura, Daimyo Hermitaur, Shrouded Nerscylla and some powerful monsters such as Deviljho, Kushala Daora, Teostra and Lunastra.

Biological Adaptations
This monster relies on all it has. It does not have any special breath attack that other Amphibians tend to have, rather it attacks with it's arms, legs, back and most importantly it's mighty jaws. However, it can store water inside it's body and shoot it out in a large but short burst. Ragilodillos' jaws are some of the most powerful in the animal kingdom, being able to crush a whole Apceros to death. It can even possibly break off a Diablos' or Monoblos horn. To help their jaws' strength, they also have powerful necks, being able to flail prey or tear off pieces easily. The monster relies on it's jaws so much, that it even opens it's jaw wide to threaten and warn opponents. If they resist, it will snap. The monster's eyesight isn't the best however. But it's hearing is quite great. It can hear and feel water ripples well, and on land it can hear a footstep or a rustling bush nearby that is not too far, but definitely not close. It's back has very tough spines running along. Three of them on it's head are on spots where horns could be. And it uses them as horns. These spines offer protection, and they work quite well. Ragilodillos sometimes use these spines in attacks, too. Their tails may be short, but they help the creature in digging up a spot to rest in in a lakebed and swimming.
