Taxonomy

 * Suborder: Leviathan
 * Infraorder: Hardheaded Wyvern
 * Family: Crambaldon

Habitat Range
Crambaldon lives solely within the Tarred Craters.

Ecological Niche
Crambaldon sits in the middle of the food chain. It is easily capable of preying on any smaller creature is comes across, but is occasionally preyed on itself by other predators such as Phaltarus. It is also a scavenger, feeding on any creatures that fall into the tar pits and die.

Biological Adaptations
The muscles and bones located in its head and neck are stronger than those found anywhere else in its body. This allows Crambaldon to use its large head and long neck as a weapon. It also has a particularly powerful bite, capable of snapping bones like sticks. For self defense, Crambaldon is capable of spitting acidic saliva at enemies. Crambaldon is well known for its ability to swim through the tar found in its habitat. Its body secrete a special oil that prevents the tar from sticking to its body, allowing it to enter and exit tar pits with impunity. However, because of its tendency to swim in tar, it has rather poor eyesight and relies mostly on its sense of hearing and smell.

Behavior
Crambaldon is sometimes referred to as "stubborn" by researchers. Crambaldon is so territorial that not even an Elder Dragon can scare it off. The Leviathan will stand its ground and fight to the death to protect its territory. Crambaldon is also fairly aggressive and attacks prey on sight.
