Sobekulos

Sobekulos is a large and aggressive Leviathan introduced in Monster Hunter Farblaze. They are only encountered in G-Rank.

Appearance
Sobekulos is a crocodilian-esque Leviathan. Its sides and belly are covered in smooth scales of a grey color, and its back is protected by chalky black osteoderms with blue spines. Its eyes are lime green, and seem to glow when it is underwater. Sobekulos walks like a Leviathan, but it swims in a much more fluid and sturdy fashion than the slender Lagiacrus and other members of its Leviathan kin; its muscular tail undulates from side to side to drive the monster through the water, while the limbs are often held close to its body to reduce drag. Sobekulos sometimes disguises itself as a log while in the water, and can be distinguished from actual logs when it occasionally lets out a small puff of mist from its nostrils. Hunters can use Raw Meat to fish the crocodile from the water, not unlike Plesioth or Gobul. This causes it to drop a shiny and also brings it onto the land.

Behavior
Sobekulos is extremely aggressive towards most monsters and hunters, even its own kind. Cannibalism is not uncommon in Sobekulos habits. While it is a bit slow and clumsy on the land, and its supply of food is mostly land-based, Sobekulos is a perfect example of an ambush predator. It has been known to wait for hours until the right moment to strike, and larger specimens can easily take down something as large as a Nargacuga.

Hunt Intro
The Killer in the Forest: Area 4 of Flooded Forest: Fast Food

The hunter enters Area 4 of the Flooded Forest, which is occupied by an Iodrome. The poisonous monster barks and hisses at him/her, preparing to make an attack, but the would-be encounter is cut short when a formidable bellow sounds off, causing the Iodrome to attempt to flee the area. Before it can even run more than ten feet, the jaws of a Sobekulos snap shut around the Iodrome, easily snapping its spine in two. The hunter quickly takes cover behind a rock, taking a look from behind at this monster. The Sobekulos swallows the Iodrome whole and sinks back into the water, swimming to another area.
