Agerinos (アゲリノス, Agerinosu) is an Amphibian.

Physiology[]

Agerinos is a large Amphibian monster with olive drab skin. Agerinos has seven yellow-orange bioluminescent spots on its body: one on its head, another on its back, one on each limb, and another on its chest. It has four clawed digits on each limb. Agerinos sports a short, laterally compressed tail. Its back and the sides of its front legs are covered in hair-like structures. Its main feature is its long, spiked, chameleon-like tongue located in its large maw. The snout is broad and the huge jaw extends back well past the eyes.

Abilities[]

Agerinos uses its long spiked tongue used to attack prey, primarily by tripping or smashing its chosen prey item. It can also shoot sharp projectiles from its tongue. It can also spit a globule of brown fluid made from its stomach contents, causing the Soiled status.

Information[]

Agerinos
???	Agerinos is infamous for its spiked tongue that works like a flail. From this tongue it can fling and launch spiky projectiles. Occasionally it spits up its stomach contents as a self defense mechanism. It is a notorious scavenger, preferring to feast on dead or dying prey.

Order: Caudata
Suborder: Mace Frog
Family: Agerinos

Agerinos is a member of the Amphibian monster class.

Habitat Range[]

Agerinos inhabit that Ancient Forest, Deserted Island, Flooded Forest, Great Forest, Jungle, Primal Forest, Sunken Hollow, and the Swamp.

Ecological Niche[]

Agerinos are notorious scavengers and will eat anything, whether it be living, dying, or already dead. Very rarely do they actively hunt for prey. Occasional prey includes Kelbi, Aptonoth, Rhenoplos, Gargwa and Slagtoth. They only fear other predators like Gore Magala, Deviljho, Glavenus, Najarala, Stygian Zinogre and Kushala Daora.

Biological Adaptations[]

Agerinos uses its long spiked tongue used to attack prey, primarily by tripping or smashing its chosen prey item. It can also shoot sharp projectiles from its tongue, as the spikes are rather loosely attached to the tongue and can sometimes become lodged within whatever it strikes with its tongue. It can also spit a globule of brown fluid made from its stomach contents and bile, causing the Soiled status.

Behavior[]

Agerinos are notorious scavengers and will eat anything, whether it be living, dying, or already dead. Very rarely do they actively hunt for prey. When confronted by a predator, Agerinos will wave its tongue around and shoot warning shot projectiles. If the threat refuses to leave, Agerinos will viciously attack whatever threatened it with its tongue and spike projectiles.
