Eumurikos

Eumurikos is a large Snake Wyvern which can be found inhabiting several desert regions.

Physiology
Eumurikos is a giant Snake Wyvern which resembles an anaconda, having a large and bulky body, a head narrower than its body and several large spots across its body. Eumurikos also possesses two large arms with large claws which it can use to dig into the ground or to throw large rocks towards foes. Eumurikos has large scutes on its arms and smaller scutes around its eyes which protect those parts. Its back is lined with thick shelling while its sides are covered in scales. Its belly is made out of a flexible yet tough hide which allows it to move around easily. The upper part of Eumurikos' body is a dark brown in color, while the lower parts of its body is a light brown. The spots on its body are a darker brown, nearly black, in color compared to the brown of the upper part of its body. However, most of the time Eumurikos can be found covered in large quantities of mud like Barroth and Jyuratodus.

Behavior
Eumurikos are very large and aggressive Snake Wyverns which will often ambush their prey from the ground or by encasing them in large amounts of mud. Eumurikos is known to have a fierce rivalry with Barroth and Jyuratodus.

Hunt Cutscene

 * Location: Dunes (Day)
 * Synopsis: As the hunter enters Area 7 of the Dunes, they notice out of the ordinary besides the absence of small monsters. As the hunter slowly walks towards the middle of the area. The hunter then suddenly feels that the ground starts shaking beneath the hunter. Suddenly, a large Snake Wyvern comes out of the ground and quickly goes towards the hunter. The hunter barely manages to avoid the large Snake Wyvern hitting them. As the hunter looks back, the Snake Wyvern turns towards them and throws mud towards the hunter. The hunter leaps out of the way and looks back at the now-revealed Snake Wyvern. They realize it's the Eumurikos they have to hunt. The Eumurikos roars; starting the hunt.

Ecology Cutscene

 * Location: Wildspire Waste
 * Synopsis: The cutscene begins by showing a bunch of Apceros in Area 4 of the Wildspire Waste, slowly grazing around. While the Apceros are minding their own business, something large is lying in the background in the mud. Suddenly, the Apceros seem to take notice of something large entering the area and they get into their defense formation. The camera pans and reveals it to be a Jyuratodus which is swimming towards the Apceros. The large thing in the background then suddenly slowly starts to move and seems to disappear under the mud. Meanwhile, the Jyuratodus starts to circle the Apceros which are roaring and growling at the Piscine Wyvern. The Jyuratodus then starts circling faster before suddenly leaping out towards the Apceros as the cutscene slows down. Suddenly, the massive object that was in the background leaps out of the ground and rams into the side of the Jyuratodus, knocking it away. The Apceros quickly run away as the camera reveals the large object to be an Eumurikos. The Jyuratodus quickly gets back up and looks at the much larger monster. The Eumurikos roars at the Jyuratodus which tries to retaliate, but the Eumurikos quickly slams its tail into it before it can. The Jyuratodus decides it has no choice but to get away and thus decides to swim away quickly. The Eumurikos then goes back into the mud as the cutscene ends.

Abilities
Eumurikos is a large Snake Wyvern which is capable of burrowing into the ground and covering itself in large quantities of mud similar to Barroth or Jyuratodus which not only cools it off in the hot desert, but it's is also capable of using this mud to trap its prey or foes. Eumurikos is also capable of utilizing its large arms to rip large rocks out of the ground and throw them towards foes.

Rage and Tired States

 * Rage State: When Eumurikos becomes enraged, it will start huffing out blackish smoke and its eyes will turn into an yellow-orangish color.
 * Tired State: When Eumurikos becomes tired, it will start drooling and it will fall over after doing some of its attacks.

Frenzy, Apex and Hyper
Eumurikos is capable of getting infected by the Frenzy Virus and thus become Frenzied, but there's no confirmation of them being able to attain the Apex State. Eumurikos are also capable of attaining the Hyper State.

Frenzied Eumurikos have the usual changes of a Frenzied monster, but can also cause Frenzy with the mud they throw around.

Hyper Eumurikos have the usual changes of a Hyper monster.

Mounts
Eumurikos has a mount animation which resembles that of Najarala, but Eumurikos seems much more violent in its movements.

Taxonomy
Eumurikos is a large member of the Snake Wyvern class which includes the likes of Aglunastos and Najarala. Eumurikos inhabits several large deserts where it is known to have a rivalry with both Barroth and Jyuratodus.
 * Order: Snake Wyvern
 * Suborder: Snake Wyvern
 * Family: Murikos

Habitat Range
Eumurikos have been found inhabiting a wide range of deserts which include the Sandy Plains, Desert, Dunes, Wildspire Waste, Cracked Canyon, Dusty Badlands, Twistspire Desert and Ancient Outback. It is also known to migrate to the Deserted Island during serious droughts.

Ecological Niche
Eumurikos are high up in the food chain due to their large size and power. This allows them to prey on small monsters like Aptonoth, Delex, Baggi, Bullfango, Cephalos and Genprey. It's also known to take down larger monsters like Cephadrome, Gendrome, Daimyo Hermitaur and Desert Seltas. It is theorized that it will even occasionally take down monsters as large and powerful as Rathian, Shrouded Nerscylla and Tigerstripe Zamtrios.

Eumurikos have plenty of large and powerful competitors in their habitats which include the likes of Diablos, Sand Barioth, Akura Vashimu, Baruragaru, Glavenus, Gureadomosu and plenty of other large and strong monsters.

Despite the Eumurikos' large size and power, it still gets predated upon by large and powerful monsters like Elder Dragon-level monsters, like Odibatorasu and Deviljho, powerful Deviants, like Massacre Demon Diablos and Hellblade Glavenus, and the occasional Elder Dragon.

Biological Adaptations
Eumurikos is a very large Snake Wyvern, being even larger and longer than most other Snake Wyverns like Najarala, Agsolestea and Aglunastos. This size comes with a large amount of physical strength which the Eumurikos is capable of using in combination with its large and powerful clawed arms to rip out large rocks out of the ground and throw them towards foes. Eumurikos is also capable of using these large arms to dig through the ground which it can use to ambush foe or prey. Eumurikos are also capable of covering themselves in large amounts of mud like Barroth and Jyuratodus. They are capable of throwing this mud around to trap foes or prey.

Behavior
Eumurikos are very aggressive and territorial and will often attack large monsters that dare to enter its territory. Otherwise, it will rest in large quantities of mud or underground and will allow small monsters to traverse around in its territory. Eumurikos is known to have a fierce rivalry with Jyuratodus and Barroth which seems to come from Eumurikos' tendency to take control of the muddy areas while the other two attack the Eumurikos' young.
