Scorned Teostra

Scorned Teostra are Variants of Teostra appearing in Monster Hunter Venture.

Aesthetic Differences
Orange eyes, gray mane with silver streaks, red tuft of fur on head, aura of blast powder surrounding it at all times, mouth bursts into draconic flames in Rage Mode, scar across left eye, and broken right horn.

Explanation and Backstory
An old Teostra that lost its left horn in a ferocious battle with a younger, stronger Teostra. These two males were fighting over the right to mate and access to the females of their pride. The one with his horn broken was exiled to live the rest of its life in isolation from the pride, and due to his disfigurement it was rendered unattractive to females and thus unable to find a mate. Its broken horn also left it with a weakened flame aura, but this only made it more aggressive. It began to make more extensive use of its flamethrower breath and explosive powder, and as it aged it began to awaken latent Elder Dragon powers within it.

Abilities
Scorned Teostra has mastered the use of its flamethrower breath and its explosive powder, and can use them with deadly effect to create wide explosions. It is also much more aggressive than a regular Teostra, and its base state is comparable to that of a regular Teostra in rage mode.

Attacks
Scorned Teostra shares all of Teostra's attacks except its heat aura.

Calm
Blast Breath: Like a Glavenus, Scorned Teostra breathes three explosive projectiles at hunters that travel at a fast speed. These explosive projectiles cause Blastblight if they connect.

Blast Shake: The monster shakes its mane and tail, scattering explosive dust. It then bites down, causing the dust to detonate around it in a protective shield.

Scatter Blast: Now whenever it attacks with its claws, it will always scatter explosive powder.

Skull Slam: The Scorned Teostra puts its remaining horn to good use and rams its skull into a nearby hunter. This causes Stun.

Enraged
Flame King's Roar: When it enters rage mode, it will scatter explosive dust in a wide area around it, and then detonate it with a roar. This attack causes Blastblight.

Random Blasts: When it is in Rage Mode, random explosions will spawn all around the area like Shagaru Magala's Rage Mode. These explosions cause Blastblight.

Live Powder: It can now detonate its explosive powder by hitting it with its flamethrower breath.

Raging Lion: Scorned Teostra wildly spins around and attacks, biting and slashing with its claws and whipping with its tail. At the end of this attack, it will taunt. Causes Severe Dragonblight.

Blaze Breath: Scorned Teostra inhales for a bit before releasing a wide jet of flames from its mouth. This flamethrower breath can cause Severe Fireblight and Severe Dragonblight simultaneously.

Vicious Maul: Scorned Teostra crouches down a bit before pouncing at a hunter, covered in draconic energy as it does. This attack causes Severe Dragonblight.

Lion's Roar: The monster inhales deeply before letting out a loud roar that causes Severe Dragonblight, similar to Akantor's wind tunnel attack.

Behavior and Ecology
A regular Teostra is dangerous, but approaching a Scorned Teostra is considered suicide. It is an incredibly violent creature, either ripping its prey to shreds with its claws and teeth, scorching it alive with blazing flames, or blasting to pieces with a powerful explosion.

Scorned Teostra is an apex predator, easily able to take down smaller monsters such as Iodrome, Cephadrome, and Gyperos. However, it still has to compete with equally dangerous predators like Rajang, Deviljho, and Tirraukronus. The Flying Wyvern Akantor is also a major threat to it, as its shell protects it from the Scorned Teostra's fire breath and it is much larger.

Trivia

 * Scorned Teostra's gray mane and scarred eye are based on Scar from The Lion King.
