Trokungur

Trokungurs are large troll-like bypaldians known for their territorial nature.

Physiology
The Trokungur are an extremely large species of pale, cave dwelling bypaldians who resemble trolls. Its body structure resembles a very fat humanoid creature with short legs, long powerful arms, a small featureless tail and a maw full of large talon like teeth. They have no visible signs of a nose or ears, but they do have a pair of very small and eyes, one on each side of its face. These eyes are a glossy black in color and are almost completely useless. At the end of the each of the monsters arms are five fingers that end with sharp, stone-like claws as big, if not even bigger, then a human arm. Each of its stumpy legs end with three claws that are smaller then the claws on its hand but still pretty big.

Taxonomy

 * Order: Clawed Giant
 * Suborder: Cave Giant
 * Superfamily: Kungur
 * Family: Trokungur

Habitat Range
Trokungurs are mostly found in most areas which have large cave systems, although they have a preference for colder areas. They will only reject a cave system if it is in a desert due to their hatred of high heats.

Ecological Niche
Trokungur are powerful but slow meat and ore eating bypaldians. They are opportunistic and will take any advantage to obtain food, they will eat almost any type of ore and prey on monsters such as Konchu, Popo, Aptonoth, Kelbi and Ceantaur. Trokungurs have been known to compete with monsters such as Tigrex, Khezu, Zamtrios and Gigginoxes. Due to their bulk they have few predators but they have been known to be preyed upon by high level deviants and elder dragons like Hellblade Glavenus and Kushala Daora.

Biological Adaptions
Due to being adapted for cold cavernous areas, the Trokungur has evolved similarly to the khezu. It has a thick layer of fat covering its body which help protect it from the cold. It’s two small eyes are almost useless and are only used to check how bright it is, so it relies mostly on sound despite not having visible ears.

Behavior
While mostly passive to most lynians and humanoids, Trokungurs can be exceptionally violent to their settlements whether they be felyne, human or wyvernian. It is unknown why they act this way but some scholars believe it is because they feel like they are trying to take away their territory.

Tracks
Trokungurs can leave behind these tracks which can be used to track them down. These tracks include Huge Claw Mark and Shedded Skin which can be found on the walls or on the ground. They also have Stumpy Footprints which can be found on the ground.

Trivia
