Sesetara

Sesetara is a medium sized Temnoceran known to hide in sand, gravel pits or sometimes mud. It is easily identifiable by it's rock-like abdomen.

Physiology
They have a similar appearance to a Nerscylla. Having two pairs of legs and a single pair of shovel-like clawed arms. Their feet end in sharp, also somewhat shovel-like claws. The hindlegs have bulkier ones while the forelegs have slimmer ones. The monster has a brown body that has bronze colored stripes running along the monster's body. It has six eyes. With two of them being large and four of them being smaller and located above the smaller eyes. It's abdomen appears somewhat rocky in appearance. It may be actual rock too.

Behavior
When hiding, they will spring out to bolt at anything that seems like potential prey. When wandering around, they tend to be cautious and are always on the look out for anything that might be coming for it. Even being able to locate incoming threats that move through the underground or the terrain in general. Their speed and carefulness have saved their lives numerous times.

Ecology

 * Order: Chelicerata
 * Family: Tara

Habitat Range
Sesetara are found in any locale where they can find spots to hide in. Prefering locales with sand, mud and gravel pits. Sometimes found in otherwise very rocky locales, hiding with it's abdomen acting as a rock.

Ecological Niche
Sesetara is somewhat low in the food chain. It generally preys on monsters and other small or similar sized creatures that happen to step near it's hiding spot. Sometimes it hunts actively. But it is primarily an ambush predator. While it can compete with monsters around it's level, it has to avoid monsters such as Nibelsnarf, Pirhaktor, Diablos, Monoblos, Bagarala, Barroth and Nerscylla. Stronger monsters, it avoids altogether. And does not bother to challenge them in any way.

Some think that Sesetara have mostly evolved thanks to Rolabius preying on them. Gaining useful adaptations against the Amphibian.

Biological Adaptations
The monster has strong limbs that it uses for running at fast speeds and digging. Their shovel-like claws allow them to dig much easier as well. They are surprisingly fast when digging. They can create holes for them to live in or dig themselves into the ground to hide in the terrain. Their chelicerae are poisonous. And can extend them much like Nerscylla. When not extended, they can deliver a strong poisonous punch. But when extended, they can damage and case strong monsters to flinch in pain as they also get poison injected into their bodies. The monster's rocky abdomen is mysterious. It's rocky texture is assumed to be carapace, but some assume it is pure rock. Not only that, but this abdomen can spew tons of harmful smoke that can be used as a smokescreen or an offensive weapon.

 * Abdomen - Abdomen appears more cracked and chipped.
 * Abdomen 2x - Abdomen's carapace gets broken off primarily. And reveals the softness below. The abdomen becomes a weak point.

Part Effectiveness
The abdomen repels yellow sharpness. On G Rank, it repels green sharpness. The body itself repels orange sharpness.

Interactions
Often find hiding in the ground. It only comes out if nearby potential prey come near enough. These being small monsters, certain large monsters such as a drome Bird Wyvern and even certain Endemic Life. Hunters can also cause a Sesetara to come out. It will try to avoid larger monsters. Especially larger ones.

Sesetara can locate hidden monsters. So hunters can make use of them by observing if they behave differently near a spot. This can be confirmed by the monster then avoiding the spot where the monster is hiding, or the monster backing away from it and leaving the area.

Turf Wars
Sesetara has no turf wars as of now.
