Likhitaton

Likhitaton (Pronounced Lix-ee-tah-ton) is a Fanged Wyvern that appears in Monster Hunter: A New World. It is encountered in High Rank and G-Rank.

Physiology
It has a build likened to a reptilian version of a grey wolf, with a light build for its size (About as big as the largest gold crown Odogaron), and a tuft of fur on its neck. Its body has mostly scales that give the body a texture similar to an Odogaron's, but is white and yellow in color. Its legs are built for running at great speeds, and its tail is similar to an Odogaron's in looks, but a bit more on the thin side, almost like a spiked whip. Its head is lupine in nature, and has yellow eyes. On its back, it has two rows of spikes that go down all the way to the area where the torso meets the tail.

Placement in the Food Chain
The Likhitaton is an apex predator that is nomadic in nature. It preys on whatever it can outpace and outpower.

Behavior towards other Monsters
Oddly passive for a monster of its level, the Likhitaton is usually only aggressive when hunting prey, but has a rivalry with other powerhouse monsters that can threaten an ecosystem in Albon (Like Deviljho and Bazelgeuse for example). Even if it encounters an Elder Dragon like Teostra, Nergigante, and the like, it tends to stand its ground.

Special Behavior(s)

 * When left alone, it can sometimes be seen grooming its body like a cat.
 * Unlike most powerhouse monsters, it is not too aggressive towards the hunter unless attacked first.

Abilities
It is one of the few Monsters in the Albon Region capable of using the Aether Element. In this case, it uses it in the form of a flamethrower like attack of Aether mist, and blends that power with great speed and stamina, easily running circles around prey and foes alike, and delivering hits when it gets the chance.

Behavior
As an Ambush hunter by nature, it usually strikes once unnoticed, and lets its prey bleed to death before eating it. When fighting foes like Deviljho or any other apex status monster, it relies on its speed and stamina to stay one step ahead of its foe's attacks, delivering blows when it can.

Tired State:
When Fatigued, it will drool, and its eyes will turn a dull grey. Its Aether Attacks will often fail and its running and leaping attacks will end with it toppling over.

Rage State:
When enraged, its eyes will glow a bright yellow, and leave trails, like a Nargacuga's. It will huff cream colored mist of Aether Element from its mouth.
