Kalanata

Kalanata is a massive Elder Dragon-level Snake Wyvern that makes its nest in the Withered Pyramid.

Physiology
Kalanata is a large Snake wyvern with smooth, gold-colored scales. A large hood similar to that of a cobra runs from the sides of its head to its midsection, in which the connected tissue of the hood soon turns into large, thorn-like spines that lead to the tip of its tail. The lower jaw of the tail's head can be moved, making its tail prehensile. Its four limbs all start off gold-colored, eventually turning grey when nearing its black claws. Its snout is lined with small, conical teeth, and has emerald green eyes. Three long, bright green thorns extend from the back of its head.

Cutscenes
Location : Withered Pyramid

Synopsis : The hunter enters the pyramid. They step on something and look down. It's a gold-colored scale. They kneel down and inspect the shard. They suddenly hear a roar and lookup. A Rathian swoops down from the sky, its jaws wreathed in flame. Before the Rathian can bite the hunter, they quickly dodge. The Rathian quickly turns around and attempts to backflip the hunter, to which the hunter dodges again. As the Rathian prepares to launch another attack, the ground starts shaking. The Rathian would be grabbed by the jaws of a large serpent bursting from the earth. The serpent thrashes the Rathian around, the Flying Wyvern screeching in pain. The serpent throws the wyvern into a wall. The Rathian quickly gets up and flies away in a panic, with the serpent roaring victoriously. The Snake Wyvern then turns its attention to the hunter, who braces themselves. The serpent hisses.

The fight with Kalanata begins.

Habitat Range

Ecological Niche
Even though Kalanata has yet to be seen outside of the Withered Pyramid, it is widely speculated that it is an apex predator.

Biological Adaptations
Kalanata has the ability to dig. They also have control over the Water, Dragon, and Earth elements. They are able to produce Water and Dragon elements due to a special gland that produces both elements. They are able to produce the Earth element by swallowing rocks and, through a special stomach separate from its main one, gets ground up and stored as small particles of dust and minerals. Kalanata can then expel these minerals as the Earth element. The head-like tip of its tail is likely a way to confuse potential prey.
