Reioskao

Reioskao is a Carapaceon.

Physiology
Reioskao is a large Carapaceon and possesses a mainly navy blue exoskeleton with several egyptian blue accents. Reioskao has a body structure which resembles that of a red king crab, but also has several large spikes covering its body which are like that of a California king crab. Reioskao has relatively shorter antennae compared to other Carapaceons. Reioskao has a large Voluron skull on its back which retains several of the electricity-generating spikes.

Behavior
Reioskao is a rather aggressive species of Carapaceon which has even been known to attack when unprovoked. Just like Daimyo Hermitaur and Tyrant Bacutaur, it's known to prey on humans every now and then, specifically the occasional unfortunate hunter.

Hunt Cutscene

 * Location: Deserted Island
 * Synopsis: As the hunter enters Area 10, they notice several dead Ludroth lying around which seemed to have been killed by something large. As the hunter nears one of the corpses, they notice electric sparks coming from it. Suddenly, they hear something flying towards them and when the hunter looks up, they see an electric blast flying towards them. The hunter quickly dodges out of the way when they see something else flying towards them. It seems to be a rock surrounded with an electrical charge which the hunter barely manages to dodge, but they almost get hit by the smaller pieces that fly out from the rock hitting the ground. As the hunter looks in the direction of where the things are coming from, they see a large Carapaceon which is the Reioskao they have to hunt. The Reioskao screeches and snaps its claws as the hunt begins.

Ecology Cutscene

 * Location: Everwood
 * Synopsis: The cutscene begins by showing several Felyne walking through the Everwood and into the area with a bunch of boulders. They suddenly notice a large Voluron skull next to a weird-looking boulder. Instead of paying attention to the weird-looking boulder, the Felynes immediately start going for the skull. They start chipping pieces out of it with pickaxes and sawing pieces off. Suddenly, the skull starts moving when they notice the boulder seems to break open. The several Felynes on the skull fall off as the "boulder" turns around and reveals itself to be a Reioskao which seems to be very angry that the Felynes damaged its shell. The Reioskao starts discharging electricity, which sends the Felynes flying away. The Reioskao climbs up and away from the Felynes which are left knocked out for a little while.

Abilities
Reioskao are large Carapaceons which have a very different appearance from other Carapaceons, due to being covered in large spikes. These large spikes can be used as a dangerous weapon by the monster or as a defensive tool whenever threatened by larger threats. The Reioskao then pretty much turns itself into a box with the spikes acting as a defense. This makes it nearly impossible for foes utilizing physical attacks to get away unscathed from a Reioskao. Reioskao carry around a large Voluron skull which generates electricity due to still possessing the spikes. But, Reioskao do not possess any thunder sacs, instead they use their spikes as lightning rods to transfer the electricity around their body and into attacks. Reioskao are also capable of climbing like Shogun Ceanataur.

Rage and Tired States

 * Rage State: When Reioskao becomes enraged, it will start foaming white bubbles from the mouth. The spikes on the Voluron skull will also start glowing bright blue and have sparks of electricity coming from them. The Reioskao will also start using attacks which can cause Severe Thunderblight.
 * Tired State: When Reioskao becomes tired, it will start drooling and fall over after doing some attacks. It will also fail to do some electrical attacks.

Frenzy, Apex and Hyper
Reioskao can get affected by the Frenzy Virus and become Frenzied, but they cannot enter the Apex State. Reioskao can also enter the Hyper State.

Frenzied Reioskao have the usual changes of a Frenzied monster.

Hyper Reioskao have the usual changes of a Hyper monster, but they also get a new attack. Triple Electric Ball: The spikes on the Voluron skull on Reioskao's back will start to spark furiously as it tries aiming at a hunter. When the Reioskao has acquired a target it will quickly grab onto the ground with both pincers and shoot three large electric balls in a trident shape towards hunters. This attack can cause Severe Thunderblight and knock hunters away.

Mounts
Reioskao has the same mount animation as Daimyo Hermitaur.

Taxonomy
Reioskao is a Carapaceon which differs greatly from other Carapaceons in appearance due to being covered in large spikes which act as conductors for the electricity generated by the Voluron skull on its back.
 * Order: Decapoda
 * Infraorder: Anomura
 * Superfamily: Thunder Crab
 * Family: Reioskao

Habitat Range
Reioskao have been found inhabiting a wide-range of areas which include the Deserted Island, Flooded Forest, Old Swamp, Marshlands, Misty Peaks, Sunken Hollow, Primal Forest, Everwood, Jurassic Frontier, Ancient Forest, Tide Island, Abysmal Trench, Spotted Coast, Muddy Jungle, Sherin Peaks, Lonely Island, Lost City and Ruined Temple.

Ecological Niche
Reioskao is somewhat high on the foodchain due to having being found feeding on a wide variety of smaller monsters, but also kinds of vegetation and other kinds of food, due to being omnivorous like other Carapaceons. Prey of the small variety can include the likes of Aptonoth, Altaroth, Bnahabra, Bullfango, Velociprey and Ioprey. Prey of the larger variety can include the likes of Bulldrome, Iodrome, Arzuros, Great Jaggi and Tetsucabra.

Due to the Reioskao's spikey body, many monsters of similar strength like Congalala, Nerscylla, Rathian won't attack it due to the great risk of wounding themselves with physical attacks and the Reioskao's powerful thunder attacks. Large and powerful monsters like Brachydios, Rathalos, Lagiacrus, Voluron, Gravios and Nargacuga will more commonly attack a Reioskao, but will try to avoid using physical attacks to avoid wounding themselves.

The only monsters which will commonly prey upon Reioskao are Elder Dragon-level monsters like Solmaron and Deviljho, powerful Deviants like Dreadking Rathalos and Grimclaw Tigrex, and the occasional Elder Dragon.

Biological Adaptations
Reioskao are large, bulky Carapaceons which are covered in large spikes which act as lightning rods or conductors for the electricity generated by the large Voluron skull on its back. This skull still possesses several of the crystal-like spikes the original Voluron had, allowing it to still produce electricity. The Reioskao uses this electricity to not only shoot several kinds of electrical attacks from the skull, but to also charge itself with its physical attacks. Reioskao are also capable of climbing on walls and ceilings.

Behavior
Reioskao are generally more aggressive than other Carapaceons like Daimyo Hermitaur and Shogun Ceanataur as they are known to have attacked humans even when not provoked. Unlike some other Carapaceons, Reioskao aren't as worried to find a new skull when their old skull has been broken. This is due to their bottom still being relatively well-protected by shelling and spikes.

Trivia

 * Reioskao is based on species of king crab, including the California king crab and the red king crab.
 * Reioskao was made by Dinoman0310 for his one-year anniversary on the FanonMonsterHunter Wiki. This is also why it uses a Voluron skull, as Voluron was the first monster Dinoman0310 ever made.
