Yajinoni

The colossal Yajinoni is a Carapaceon that first appears in Monster Hunter Farblaze. They are known to carry large chunks of ice on their carapace for protection.

Appearance
Yajinoni are large, crab-like monsters with a red, chitinous exoskeleton with spike-like protrusions sprouting out of the sides and appendages, a majority of which sport blue tips. Another more notable feature of a Yajinoni is the pale-white fur that coats the "wrists" and "ankles" of their arms and legs as well as their four antennae. Specks of blue are also seen in the fur. Their foremost legs have evolved into the trademark claws of a Carapaceon; however, while other Carapaceon claws are made for digging (like the Daimyo Hermitaur) or slicing (such as the Shogun Ceanataur), Yajinoni's claws are designed for gripping and crushing things such as tree trunks or hunks of ice and rock. They utilize these claws to lift up large chunks of their glacier homes and carry them atop of their carapace as a disguise for when they burrow under the ground and sleep, for armor to protect the smooth, leathery top of their bodies, and as a sort of siege weapon to hurl at predators as a last resort.

Behavior
Yajinoni are best described as gentle giants. As one of the few herbivorous Carapaceons, the crabs often feed on large, coniferous trees by snapping the trunks and eating the branches and trunk of the tree. Strangely, they cannot digest the needles, so their waste is an important part of their ecosystem as fertilizer for other cold-dwelling plants. Yajinoni, despite their gentle nature, are actually very solitary, and only see another of their own kind during the mating season. This causes the males of the species to be very aggressive to most other monsters as well as people. The crabs also show signs of intelligence, utilizing trees as a sort of melee weapon at times.

Attacks

 * Scuttle: The Yajinoni quickly approaches the hunter while walking sideways, before sweeping its claw at them.
 * Claw Sweep: The crab swings its mighty claw from left to right, knocking away any nearby hunter in front of it, occasionally repeating this with the other claw. This can be done up to three times in a row.
 * Clobber: The Yajinoni lifts its claws above its head and slams them into the ground, causing a massive quake effect. (Instant Stun)
 * Charge: The Yajinoni spreads its arms apart and quickly crawls towards its enemy not unlike Shogun Ceanataur.
 * Tree Club: After grabbing a pine tree, the Yajinoni lifts the tree above its head and slams it into the ground. This instantly breaks the tree, but can result in a one-hit cart if hit.
 * Tree Swing: After grabbing a pine tree, the Yajinoni swings the tree from left to right. (Instant Stun)
 * Tree Throw: The Yajinoni hurls the tree it is currently holding at a hunter. (Instant Stun)
 * Claw Shove: The Yajinoni butts its claws into the hunter, knocking them onto their rear.
 * Iceberg Toss: The crab grabs the ice chunk that is on its back and catapults it towards a hunter. This does massive amounts of damage. However, this also leaves the vulnerable back chitin of the Yajinoni exposed. (Inflicts Iceblight and Snowman)
