Information
The Shuradogon is a ferocious monster that attacks competing predators on sight, this includes Hunters, when looking for prey it stalks from a distance before swooping in at high speeds, the grate-like openings in its body are connected to vents that release an ignitable gas, it can use this unique adaptation to shoot itself like a bullet while leaving behind a trail of deadly fire.

Abilities
While it can shoot itself with its vents, it will rarely ignite the gas while doing so, as it costs it a large amount of stamina, the gas is processed from the prey it ingests, its most common method of attacking intruders is by propelling itself while aiming its arm spikes, with the intent of penetrating its target, when the enemy is too close to use its gas, it assumes an upright stance and swings its arm spikes at its foe.

When it becomes enraged it makes use of its signature ability, it will howl while the vents on its body start glowing red, after a few seconds a wave of fire is blasted around it, damaging anything close and leaving a long-lasting circle of fire, the Shuradogon will now constantly be producing flames from its vents and leaving trails of fire as it propels itself.

This form lasts until the monster runs out of stamina, when this happen it will become slow and will attempt to flee to find food.
