Useful Information Edit
Jade Aranadios are a subspecies having evolved green scales as opposed to the regular species cobalt blue scales. This is due to the Jade Aranadios are only found in forest regions, unlike the regular species, that are nomadic. Similar to how Aranadios are often confused for an Azure Rathalos, Jade Aranadios due to their green scales are often confused for a Rathian. Like the regular species, Jade Aranadios are highly intelligent, bringing prey back to its nest to avoid the attention of other large predators and watching potential threats from a distance.

Placement In Food Chain Edit
Like Aranadios, Jade Aranadios are apex predators in the forests they dwell in, driving other monsters out and claiming their territory for itself. === Behavior Towards Other Monsters Edit=== Like the regular species, Jade Aranadios are highly aggressive towards other large monsters. Unlike the regular species however, Jade Aranadios are ambush hunters, utilizing their green scales to blend in with their enviroment before attacking the threat from behind, catching them off guard.

Abilities

 Habitat Range Edit
Unlike Aranadios, which are usually nomadic, Jade Aranadios are more often found in forested regions than the regular species. They have been sighted in the Everwood, Flooded Forest, Jungle, Primal Forest, Verdant Hills, Jurassic Frontier and many other forested areas.

 Ecological Niche Edit
Jade Aranadios occupies the same niche as the regular species, being apex predators. However, it is no longer found in deserts, volcanic and arctic regions as opposed to regular Aranadios, being found in these areas. This is due to Jade Aranadios having adapted to become ambush predators rather than attacking threats head on, utilizing its green scales to camoflage itself in the forests they dwell, in which in other areas would make them much easier for prey and predators to spot.

It still has to compete with other forest-dwelling predators such as regular Aranadios, Nargacuga and its subspecies, Zinogre, Anjanath, Rathian, Pink Rathian, Glavenus, Mizutsune, Astalos, Tigrex, Rathalos, Azure Rathalos, Gore Magala, Yian Garuga, Najarala, Espinas, Deviljho and the rare and powerful Rajang. It also has to compete with Elder Dragons that are also found in forests, such as Kushala Daora, Chameleos and Ruiner Nergigante, and Deviants such as Dreadqueen Rathian, Thunderlord Zinogre and Silverwind Nargacuga.

 Biological Adaptations Edit
Jade Aranadios' scales have become green as a result of adapting to live in forests rather than being nomadic like the regular species. Its tailspikes has also become much tougher than that of regular Aranadios, due to the Jade Aranadios using its tail more often in combat than the regular species, making it more difficult to break and making its tail attacks even deadlier than that of its blue cousin. It is also much more terrestrial than other Aranadios, rarely taking to the skies, preferring to fight on the ground.

 Behavior Edit
Jade Aranadios are just as aggressive and territorial as its relative, though it prefers ambushing threats rather than taking them head on.
