Asprotis

Asprotis are Fanged Beasts.

Physiology
Asprotis are horse-like Fanged Beasts that resemble the Haflinger horse breed. They have white fur with thick, light yellow-colored manes, tails, and feathering around the legs. Their hooves are colored periwinkle. They bear a striking resemblance to Kirin, but Asprotis are not related to Kirin at all.

Abilities
Asprotis have flint-like hooves that they smash on the ground to create bright flashes of light.

Ecological Niche
Asprotis are grazing herbivores that feed on grass and shrubs.

Biological Adaptations

They also possess powerful legs that they use to deliver bone-shattering kicks to foes and to move with astounding speed. The average speed of these Fanged Beasts is around 60 mph (or about 96 kilometers per hour).

Behavior
Asprotis are usually docile but will turn extremely aggressive when they detect a predator nearby such as a Rathalos. They will viciously fight using their strong legs and light-producing hooves. They are also very curious and spend most of their time exploring their surroundings.
