Urkanthus possesses a highly developed skull that is covered almost entirely in hardened skin and possesses small fanglike spikes and jagged horns sitting at the back of its skull. The limbs of this quadrupedal wyvern are powerfully built and are adorned with various armored scales and scutes. The tail of Urkanthus is robust and is covered in spiny armor plating that extends the entire length of the tail.
Abilities[]

Habitat Range[]
Urkanthus are found patrolling the waterways and shoreline of the Primeval Coastline. These semi-aquatic fanged wyverns can also be found inhabiting the Flooded Forest, Old Jungle, Jungle, Old Swamp, Marshland, Primal Forest, Ruined Pinnacle, and Great Forest
Ecological Niche[]
Despite their fearsome horns, claws and powerful jaws Urkanthus primarily prey upon large insects such as Hermitaur, Altaroth, Vespoid and Bnahabra but they will also prey upon any available available arachnids and crustaceans as well. Despite mainly preying upon prey much smaller than itself Urkanthus has very little in terms of predators with most monsters avoiding the heavily armored and foul-smelling monsters for easier prey. Urkanthus does need to be wary of indiscriminate carnivores like Deviljho as the hyper aggressive monsters' cares little for the foul-smelling stench and its powerful jaws and ravenous appetite could easily make work of the armored hide of an Urkanthus.
Biological Adaptations[]
Urkanthus are adapted for life within temperate forests and swampland environments and prefer areas with high concentrations of small fish to prey upon. The hide of Urkanthus is armored and shell-like and serves to protect it from the bites and stings of parasitic insect swarms and from any predators that attempt to prey upon it. The forelimbs of these lizard-like wyverns are robust and possess large claws that the fanged uses to stabalize itself in the fast-flowing streams it forages within. The skull of these fanged wyverns possesses moderately powerful jaws filled with crocodile-like teeth. Numerous small dorsal plates run down the back and neck of Urkanthus and aide wyvern in thermoregulation and display.
Behavior[]

Specific local interactions[]

Special behaviors[]
Urkanthus can occasionally be seen resting upon large rock formations. It can also be seen gnawing upon bone piles throughout the area as well as burying chunks of meat in secluded areas from the prey it has slain.

After the young hatch, they will fend for themselves and receive no care from their mother.
