Posmayaios

Posmayaios (Pos-may-ee-ous) is a massive, serpentine, aquatic elder dragon that leaves a field of misfortune and depression wherever it was last sighted

Physiology
Posmayaios loosely resembles Dalamadur, but with some very major changes. Its legs have evolved into paddle-like flippers, and instead of rock ahrd spines, it possesses flowing membranes along the length of its body which contain incredible amounts of dragon energy. Its tail is shaped like a trident, with each prong being razor sharp. Atop its head sits thirteen spikes, twelve of which face back towards its neck, while the final one is placed on the tip of its snout, similar to Lao-Shan-Lung. Its head is shaped like that of a copperhead snake, with an underbite and overbite reminiscent of an angler fish. In terms of coloring, its scales are a deep violet, bordering on black. Its membranes are tinted a pale green-to-white gradient, with the green becoming deeper the further along the membrane it is. Its eyes are scarlet red, and its had spikes are tipped in red, along with the purple scales, same goes for the tail. The tail also has the same green to white gradient in the webbing between the prongs.

Behavior
Next to nothing is known about Posmayaios, and thus even little is known about its behavior. What is known is that it resides in the deepest parts of the ocean, even deeper than Nakarkos and Ceadeus. For some reason, once every decade, it surfaces in the Lake of Misery and Despair for unknown reasons. Some theorize it's a process similar to Gore/Shagaru Magala, and that they are born here. However, only one Posmayaios has ever been seen, and the one that surfaces at the lake seems to be the same one every decade.

Placement In Food Chain
Posmayaios occupies the same position in the food chain in the water that creatures such as Dalamadur and the Mohrans have on land. They have no natural predators, and prey on anything it wants. Its only real competition are the oldest Ceadeus, Zorah Magdaros, and Dire Miralis. Strangley, a group of hunters observed one doing something none would have thought possible. Whilst tracking a Shantien over the open seas, a Posmayaios burst from the depths, closing its massive jaws around the mystical elder dragon. Nobody knows why this occurred, though an ancient legend may shed some light on this mystery.

Behavior Towards Other Monsters
Aggressive to anything it deems a threat, which means anything Nakarkos sized and up. When not fending off other monsters, it feeds on anything from Sharq to Abyssal Lagiacrus.
