Sardar Mortaur

Sardar Mortaur (サルダールボムザミ, Sarudān Bomuzami) are Carapaceons.

Physiology
Sardar Mortaur are moderately large Carapaceons with brown exoskeletons. It has a ring of spikes around its circular head, along with a long pair of antennae. Its forelegs are tubular, resembling cannons. On its back is the skull of a Duramboros.

Abilities
Sardar Mortaur can shoot streams or globules of water from its forelimbs in a fashion similar to a garden hose. However, they have a finite source of water, so once they run out of water they resort to shooting an acidic liquid.

Taxonomy
Sardar Mortaur are the adult form of Mortaur. They have a closely related Subspecies that inhabit volcanoes known as Pyro Sardar Mortaur.
 * Order: Decapoda
 * Infraorder: Anomura
 * Superfamily: Artillery Crab
 * Family: Mortaur

Habitat Range
These Carapaceons, along with their juvenile forms thrive in the Misty Peaks, Marshlands and Jungle of the Old World, and they are occasionally been seen in the Flooded Forest and Deserted Island of the New World as well.

Ecological Niche
Sardar Mortaur are moderately high in the food chain. They primarily feed on small creatures, really anything that's smaller than they are. They even sometimes cannibalize smaller Mortaurs. They can more than hold their own against larger creatures, such as Rathalos, Rathian, Nargacuga, Najarala, Khezu, Lagiacrus, Plesioth, and Brachydios.

Biological Adaptations
Sardar Mortaur possess cannon-like appendages in place of pincers. These cannons are used to shoot streams or globules of water. The water they shoot is stored in sacs located in the section where the limbs meet the body. This also means Sardar Mortaur has a limited supply of water, so once they run out of water they have to replenish the sac by drawing water into their cannons like vacuums. However, should they run out of water and no water is available, they will resort to an acidic liquid. This corrosive fluid is believed to be digestive fluids, or something similar. They wear the skull of a Duramboros on their back for protections. Due to their brown carapace, the skull combined with their brown coloration allows them to act as a dead Duramboros for camouflage.

Behavior
Sardar Mortaur are notoriously aggressive and will readily fight back against larger predators.

Etymology
The English name Sardar Mortaur is a combination of sardar and a pun on mortar.
