Inflamed Arachena

Inflamed Arachena are a fiery subspecies of Arachena.

Physiology
Their hair and crest is reddish-brown and their exoskeleton is bright red. Compared to normal Arachena, Inflamed Arachena are larger in size. In rage mode, the hair and crest glow a flaming red.

Ecology
Inflamed Arachena are mid-level predators that will go after almost any prey. They are intensely territorial, though they do not stray far from their webs. Their obsession with their hard-to-spin webs can sometimes lead to them starving to death rather than abandon their web. They warn potential threats by hissing loudly and arching their back. There is a thin line between backing down and committing to a fight with an Inflamed Arachena, so extreme caution must be taken if one is sighted.

Females usually do not wander unless they have lost a territorial bout or they need to migrate, while males are usually nomads. Meetings between the opposite sex usually do not end well for the male. Males are typically killed before they can establish peace, and even if successful, they must mate quickly before the female loses her patience. The female lays her eggs near her normal territory and guards them fiercely. An Inflamed Arachena's childhood is a very, very rough one. The hostile environment is already a challenge, but the mother will eat her young without a care and baby Inflamed Arachena will easily do the same to each other. Most young Inflamed Arachena only survive if they can escape their family. If they survive to adulthood, they become the meanest, foulest-tempered Temnocerans this side of Harth.

Inflamed Arachena are easily capable of taking down threats above their weight class, though top-level monsters such as Rathalos, Deviljho, Diablos, Monoblos, Rajang, Brute Tigrex, Uragaan, Seregios, Rust Duramboros, Blazotiek, Agnaktor, Stygian Zinogre, Auryiss, Glavenus, and Gravios can prove difficult to handle.

Behavior
Inflamed Arachena are infamous for their hostility. Inflamed Arachena are known to violently attack any perceived threat, real or not. Their intensely territorial nature often results in clashes between other monsters. Wandering Inflamed Arachena may have been displaced from their homes, and these highly tempestous specimens will attack savagely at the slightest provocation. When enraged, they lock their attention to the offender and will attack relentlessly until they are scattered across the landscape. While females are more known for their aggression, the smaller males live harder lives and can be just as fierce.

Abilities
When enraged, Inflamed Arachena's claws and fangs become heated, allowing them to deal fire-element damage. It has a noticeably higher threshhold before becoming enraged, but moves faster and deals much more damage than normal Arachena when in rage mode, and takes longer to return to normal. It also has higher stamina.

Habitat
Inflamed Arachena inhabit volcanoes and deserts. In the latter case, they are usually diurnal.
