Electrosilk Nerscylla

Electrosilk Nerscylla is a Variant of Nerscylla styled after the Variants found in Monster Hunter Explore. True to its name, its silk is electric, and it can be used to immobilize prey, making it easier to kill.

Physiology
Electrosilk Nerscylla greatly resembles the standard Nerscylla, but has some visual differences to set itself apart from it. Its head is yellow with a light purple underside, and its abdomen is yellow with light purple markings and a navy blue underbelly. Its legs are yellow, with the upper areas and the claws being navy blue. Its eyes, abdomen spikes, and stinger are navy blue, and the various barbs found on its body are yellow. The protective hide it wears on its back is orange, black, and red, with the black portion having swirled, yellow markings.

Ecology
Electrosilk Nerscylla is an odd variation of Nerscylla that has access to electricity instead of poison, and this is believed to be the result of it growing and maturing in a cave from a faraway land that contained many electric and magnetic stones before making its way to the Sunken Hollow. Its body developed its yellow, blue, and purple colouration as a method of warning would-be predators that it is electric, and it brings down prey through the use of electrified, immobilizing silk and injecting them with life-absorbing venom from its stinger before killing them off with crushing bites. Interestingly, it wears an orange, black, and red hide with yellow, swirled markings that is foreign to the Old World, and this hide is believed to have come from a fire-breathing, porcine monster from a faraway land. Like the regular Nerscylla, it wears this hide as a method of protecting itself from its main weakness, which is fire. It is unknown what caused it to leave the cave, but it is believed that it traveled to the Sunken Hollow in order to increase its chances of finding food.

Behavior
Like the standard species, Electrosilk Nerscylla is an ambush predator that strikes foes from all angles, makes webs where prey is most likely to appear, and wears the hide of another monster as a method of protecting itself from its main weakness, which is Fire.

Abilities
Electrosilk Nerscylla has many of the same abilities as the standard species, but has some notable differences. Its spikes, bites, and silk all inflict Thunder damage, with its bites having a 50% chance of paralyzing enemies, and its stinger can absorb the life force of its victims, allowing it to recover health. In exchange, it cannot poison or sedate enemies.

Habitat
Electrosilk Nerscylla lives exclusively in the Sunken Hollow, and is believed to have come from an electric cave located in a faraway land.
