Deathbloom Dokutsune

Deathbloom Dokutsune are Deviants of Dokutsune appearing in Monster Hunter Venture.

Aesthetic Differences
Deep black scales, long fangs like a Gendrome, purple parts have changed to indigo, crimson fur, scars on head fins, serrated claws, and large amounts of orchids and violets in chest and tail fur.

Backstory and Explination
An old Dokutsune who witnessed the death of her mate and her children at the hands of hunters. Fleeing for her life, she ran away as fast as she could, getting flowers caught in her fur as she did. Over time, the pollen from these flower began to mix with the toxins in her fur, creating a toxic dust that she could scatter. She then began to intentionally collect more of these special flowers to make her poison abilities more efficent. This led to this special Dokustune being named Deathbloom Dokutsune.

Attacks
Dokutsune shares all of Dokutsune's attacks. The following listed below are unique to it.

Levels I-IV
Widow's Bouquet: Thanks to the poisonous pollen of the flowers in its fur, some of its physical attacks will scatter a purple dust, extending their range. This dust obviously causes Poison.

Deadly Bubbles: All of its bubble attacks now cause Deadly Poison rather than regular Poison.

Paralyzing Fang: Deathbloom Dokutsune's bites now cause Paralysis.

Venom Jet: Deathbloom Dokutsune inhales a bit before shooting out a massive torrent of venom, which causes Deadly Poison.

Fox Typhooni: The monster spits out three watery tornadoes, in a fashion similar to Rathian. Causes Severe Waterblight.

Triple Slide: Deathbloom Dokutsune can perform its sliding attack 3 times in a row, adjusting itself with every slide.

Tail Flip: Now it can perform a spinning backflip like Zinogre.

Furious Fangs: When enraged, the Deathbloom's mouth will froth with purple bubbles. This means all of its biting attacks will now cause Poison instead of Paralysis.

Levels V-X
At these higher levels, all of Deathbloom Dokutsune's attacks gain a power boost, and some of them change slightly. It also gains several new attacks:
 * The poison powder scattered by its flowers now causes Severe Poison.
 * It can now do two Tail flips in a row.

Fox Tsunami: When standing over a stream, it will perform this attack. The Deathbloom looks behind its back before swiping with its tail twice, stirring up large waves of water as it does. These waves can cause Severe Waterblight.

Geyser Burrow: The Deathbloom Dokustsune burrows underground, and waits for a bit before the ground starts to shake slightly. It will then burst out from under a hunter's feet, propelled by a massive geyser of water. This geyser causes Severe Waterblight.

Poisonous Geyser Burrow: A variation of the Geyser Burrow only performed when the Deathbloom is in rage mode. It will burrow underground in the same manner, but now it will wait a few more seconds before bursting out. When it does, the geyser will not be of regular water, but a heavily poisonous fluid secreted by the Deathbloom's fur! This attack obviously causes Deadly Poison on contact.

Toxin Shakedown: The Deathbloom shakes its body, similar to a dog shaking off water to dry itself. This attack scatters not only poisonous pollen, but also some of the Dokutsune's toxic fluids. The pollen causes Noxious Poison, while the fluids cause Deadly Poison.

Leaping Fox: To evade an attack, the Deathbloom will leap out of the way like a Nargacuga. Though this move normally isn't used offensively, it can cause damage if hunters are close to the monster when it jumps or when it lands.

Tooth And Claw: A damaging close-range attack. To begin it, the Deathbloom bites forward twice. It then slashes forward twice with each of its claws, and then performs a claw slam with both of them at once. The bites cause either Paralysis or Noxious Poison depending on whether the monster is in rage mode or not, but the claw strikes always cause Noxious Poison if hit.

Behavior & Ecology
The Deathbloom Dokutsune is a truly dangerous monster. As such, the Guild only lets hunters with special permits to hunt them.

Dokutsune are normally carnivores that prey on small animals such as fish or Kelbi, but the Deathblooms have far more varied diets. These creatures are known to prey not only on Kelbi, but also on Bullfango, Gargwa, and even the occasional Bulldrome. However, despite moving up the food chain, Deathbloom Dokutsune must still compete with predators such as Zinogre, Lagiacrus, and Nargacuga, which it shares its habitat with. The only monsters capable of preying upon it are large apex predators like Tirraukronus, Deviljho, and the elder dragon Chameleos.

Trivia

 * The Deathbloom's concept came from reading the flavor text of the Mizutsune's Great Sword, the Hanayoko Yohino: A great sword of a refined, educated samurai. These petals blossom with death.
