Unseelie Odogaron

WORK IN PROGRESS

Created for Halloween Contest 2018

An otherworldy monster, appearing to be a variety of inky-black Odogaron shrouded in smoke. It is capable of displacing its appearance to taunt and misdirect prey.

Physiology
The Unseelie Odogaron is more emaciated in appearance than a standard Odogaron, with exaggerated angles and wiry muscles. It has two prehensile, spiked tentacles sprouting from its shoulders, which it often uses to attack from a distance or pin prey in order to rend them with its claws. Its hide appears black in the dim light of its favored hunting grounds, but gives off a deep purple-red iridescence when exposed to bright light. Its claws, teeth, and scales are a matte black, aiding in its preferred role as an ambush predator. Its eyes are also black, but its pupils can reflect pinpricks of white when confronted with a light source, adding to its unsettling appearance.

Behavior
The Unseelie Odogaron is an ambush predator, preferring to remain within shadows and use its displacement technique to taunt and wear down its prey before closing in for the kill. Unseelie Odogaron seems to display a greater intelligence than its standard brethren, and an intense hatred for anything that walks on two legs.

Placement In Food Chain
Information about where the monster places on the food chain in locales. Example using the Ancient Forest, a Great Jagras is the bottom of the food chain, Anjanath is in the middle, Deviljho is at the top, and the apex predator is Rathalos.

Behavior Towards Other Monsters
How the monster behaves when other monsters are near it. A passive monster would ignore small monsters, but a very aggressive one would kill them if they wandered too close.

Tracks
Information about what tracks the monster leaves that hunters can use to find it.

Specific Locale Interactions
Information about environmental interactions the monster has only in certain locales. (eg. a monster that has special attacks with vines cannot use those attacks unless its an an area and locale with them)

Special Behaviors
Information that details any special behaviors the monster has. This can be from being in certain locales to the time of day and to other events. (eg. in the Rotten Vale if a Legiana corpse falls in, an Odogaron will go to that area and drag it to its lair, a monster that is covered in sticks fears being near fire and backs away from it.)

Cutscenes
Information about what happens when encountering the monster for the first time.

Abilities
The Unseelie Odogaron can make itself invisible while presenting an illusory image of itself somewhere within a twenty foot radius of its position. The two abilities seem to be linked: it cannot camouflage itself without presenting an illusory copy, nor create duplicates of itself while remaining visible. This suggests that the ability is some sort of light displacement, as seen when looking at an image through water or a clear crystal.

Rage and Tired States

 * Rage State: When enraged, the Unseelie Odogaron will glow purple and produce a black smoke in place of a standard Odogaron's steam. Attacks that normally inflict bleeding will also inflict confusion.


 * Tired State: When stunned, paralyzed, or exhausted, the Unseelie Odogaron will temporarily lose its ability to displace its image, leaving its true form open to attack.
