Voluron

Voluron is a species of Leviathan most closely related to Lagiacrus and it's subspecies.

Physiology
A species only talked about in legends or through old hunters, which were often thought to be drunk because of the similar described appearance to a Lagiacrus.

Only recently truly discovered this species is larger than Lagiacrus. It's body has a similar structure to a Lagiacrus, but it is more eel or snake-like, the neck is shorter, the head is more of a rectangular shape and holds a lot of rows containing small sharp teeth and the feet are more paddle-like. The eyes are dark green, the front and back legs both have dark blue claws with a membrane between the black claws for swimming which causes a more paddle-like form and the top of the body is a dark grey or nearly black color with dark blue crystals which emit electricity, similarly to an Abyssal Lagiacrus. The bottom of the body is a dark beige color and the tail is the dark grey/black color and has a paddle-like shape. The frilled gills of Voluron glow a slight dark red. Voluron is capable of opening it's jaws like a snake to help swallow smaller prey whole.

Behavior
Voluron are passive most of the time, but when threatened they can become very dangerous and will try to ward off anything with their powerful electric powers and tail or dangerous claws and teeth.

It lives in the deepest parts of the oceans, close to the bottom but will occasionally swim higher up and will only come to less deep parts or the surface for food or to find a mate.

Abilities
This Leviathan has a body shaped like an eel/snake causing it to be capable of moving and attacking with the speed of a serpent, but with the strength of a crocodile.

Voluron have electrical powers similar to Lagiacrus and it's subspecies, but Voluron are more powerful and thus need to charge more often if they use to much electricity which will leave them in a defenseless state. When not enraged Voluron will use their claws, teeth and tail more often, while when enraged they will use more of their electric powers.

Rage and Tired States

 * Rage State: Starts to use more attacks which cause Severe Thunderblight and spikes on back will glow blue and sparks of electricity will come from the spikes.
 * Tired State: Top and bottom of body both become a lighter color.

Frenzy, Apex and Hyper
Voluron can be affected by the Frenzy Virus and while there have been no sightings of Apex Voluron, it is presumed that they do exist. The same counts for Hyper Voluron, none of them have been seen, but since the closest relative of Voluron, Lagiacrus, can get into the Hyper State, it is presumed Voluron can too.

When Frenzied, Voluron's defenseless charge state will last less long and won't be defenseless anymore, because it will try to hit you away with it's claws or tail.

Mounts
Voluron has the same mount as Lagiacrus.

Taxonomy
Voluron are some of the largest Leviathans known to exist, even trumping the mighty Lagiacrus. While Voluron belong to the Order of Leviathans there doesn't seem to be much connection between Voluron and other Leviathans, besides Lagiacrus. There have been reports of weird-looking Voluron in certain areas.
 * Order: Leviathan
 * Suborder: Sea Wyvern
 * Infraorder: Ancient Shell Wyvern
 * Family: Voluron

Habitat Range
Voluron can be found in a variety of habitats. While most often only found in very deep areas like the Underwater Ruin, they will come up from the water to find prey on land. The areas Voluron have been observed to hunt in are the Frozen Seaway, the Frantic Bay, the Deserted Island and even the Flooded Forest. It is assumed that they hunt in more areas, but there have been no further sightings yet.

Trivia

 * Voluron is based on Abyssal Lagiacrus, the real-life Frilled shark and has some elements from eels and snakes.
 * This is my first Monster Hunter Monster I've ever created.
 * The name is a combination of the Swedish word for frill (Volang) and the Spanish word for shark(Tiburon)
