Olympian Glavenus

Riernas is a Fanged Wyvern created by T1GREXHUNTER. It was first introduced in Monster Hunter Advance, and served to introduce the game's new Z-Rank.

Physiology
The Olympian Glavenus looks very similar aesthetically to Glavenus. However, some of the key differences are it's horns, which are much longer. The two largest spikes on a normal Glavenus' back are larger on this subspecies. The metal that coats their tail seems to be jittery, and produces static shots when touched while the tail is not glowing. The color difference of this subspecies is quite noticeable. The metallic parts of their body are a blue-violet color, while it's scales are a light blue/blue green. The tips of the spikes on their back are a pinkish color. When it is fully charged, their tail will glow electric blue, and sparks will shoot off from it. They are larger than normal Glavenus as well.

Behavior
Olympian Glavenus are solitary hunters, and are not that plentiful in any part of the world. However, their devastating attacks and the aggressive nature of the species' males makes these beasts incredibly dangerous to towns. They tend to fight almost any other monster for turf, even Elder Dragons like Kushala Daora. In fact, some scholars predict this species evolved from a Thunder-based Glavenus subspecies to use the Dragon element as well, causing them to develop Thunder Pole and become Elder Dragon Killers.

Abilities
Not only are they bigger, smarter, and more powerful than Glavenus, but they also possess special abilities that allow them to utilize Thunder Pole in battle. They channel the Dragon element through their bodies by feeding on Dracophage Bugs, and they are able to wield electricity by using the special ore on their tails to charge the metal by using an internal sac that builds up static electricity and amplifying it by pulsing it through the ore.

Rage and Tired States

 * Rage State: Their entire backs will glow a purplish color, and their throat and the inside of their mouths will glow blue. Blue and pink sparks will shoot off of their backs and tails frequently. They will charge their tail right after entering Rage Mode.


 * Tired State: They will drool and fall after performing certain maneuvers.

Mounts
They are mounted like Glavenus.

Taxonomy
Olympian Glavenus falls into the same family as (obviously) Glavenus and their 'rival species', Deviljho.

Habitat Range
They can be found anywhere there is land. While it isn't a preferable option, these Glavenus can swim short distances to reach islands and other oversea destinations.

Ecological Niche
They have evolved to be incredibly powerful, and as a result, have surpassed Glavenus in almost every way. They are bigger without losing speed or strength, and they are smarter. They exist to establish themselves as apex predators and to spread their species slowly, only raising one offspring in their lifetimes. They dominate almost any ecosystem they find themselves in, but fall prey to large Elder Dragons like Jhen Mohran and Dalamadur. Even though they are such powerhouses, they do not cause any major harm to the environment, so they are only killed upon necessity.

Biological Adaptations
They have developed many organs to help them spread out and wield electricity. A sac that generates static electricity can be found in the tail, where it sends out pulses of energy that charge the tail and make it glow blue. The tail will then be able to discharge electricity. They also have developed an air bladder that allows them to hold their breath for up to an hour and a half before they must breathe again. By using their tail and powerful legs, they can actually swim for short periods of time, allowing them to reach islands off the shore of their habitats.

Behavior
The males are aggressive monsters when their territory is intruded upon, while females are more calm, unless they are looking after a nest. They will attempt to kill almost anything for food or territory, which sometimes means they'll attempt to fight massive Elder Dragons. While their victories in such fights are very rare, they are not unheard of.

Breakable parts
Head- The metal plates on their head will chip, and one of their horns will break off.

Back- The spikes of the back will become cracked, some of them will break.

Tail x2- The first time, their tail will crack, and if the tail was charged, the Olympian Glavenus will be hit with recoil and fall back. The second time, the tip of their tail will be severed, and the bladed edge will become duller.

Trivia

 * The Olympian Glavenus is inspired in part by the Olf Fanon's Volt Glavenus, one of my old creations.
 * The idea to use Thunder Pole came about when I was trying to conceptualize what else I could see a Glavenus using besides Fire or any of the other basic elements.
