Phaltarus

Phaltarus is a Brute Wyvern.

Physiology
A fairly large Brute Wyvern, Phaltarus is encased in glossy black armored plating that is adorned with white and dark blue accents. Its underside, however, is covered with beige-colored scutes. It has glaring yellow eyes and multiple tooth-like points on the edge of its jaws. On the tip of its snout is a large horn that projects far from its head. It also has a smaller horn above each eye and a few downward-pointing spikes located on its lower jaw. Like Brachydios, Phaltarus sports a pair of long, highly developed forelimbs that terminate in a single large white spike. Located beneath each spikes is a set of three claws. It also possesses three claws on its feet. It has a somewhat thick tail and a round tail club that is studded with various flat protrusions.

Abilities
Phaltarus primarily attacks with the large spikes found on its forearms. It can also spew a flammable, oily, tar-like substance at prey. It leaves behind trails of tar so it can ignite it with the spikes on its arms which act as flints.

Taxonomy

 * Order: Saurischia
 * Suborder: Theropoda
 * Superfamily: Heavy Oil Wyvern
 * Family: Phaltarus

Habitat Range
Phaltarus has only been seen in the Tarred Craters thus far.

Ecological Niche
Phaltarus is the apex predator of the Tarred Craters, and is capable of defeating other large predatory monsters. With its explosive oil at its disposal and its extreme aggression towards intruding monsters and hunters, it would be more than a match for most other predators.

Biological Adaptations
Phaltarus is known for flammable, oily, tar-like substance it spits to defend itself. It usually spits globs of oil, but it can shoot a stream if it chooses to. If there's tar left behind on the ground, it can actually ignite it using the flint-like spikes on its forelimbs.

Behavior
Phaltarus is extremely aggressive and will not hesitate to attack if it feels threatened or challenged. Not even smaller monsters such as Tarictus will be shown mercy.
