Alpha Epioth

Alpha Epioth are leaders of certain Epioth which are rarely seen in the world. 
==Appearance==
Red stripes on head, body and tail, longer head fringe, body fringe and tail fin. Double the size than regular Epioth.
==General Behaviour==
The Alpha Epioth will not flee from foes on first sight and can actually fight them. However this goes to predators that are around the same size as it. If anything bigger than it or a fight goes badly it goes into a constant panic like a normal Epioth.
==In-Game Description==
==Intro==
*Underwater Ruins Area 2
A herd of Epioth are seen moving across the area, the camera pans towards a Sharq. One small Epioth is attacked and swallowed whole, alerting the others and making them flee. This attracts the attention of the Alpha Epioth who dashes forward and does its spinning hip check just before the Sharq takes another. The Sharq leaves as the hunter is brought into the scene as the Sharq moves towards him/her.
The Sharq itself only goes down in as short a time as a regular one.
==Attacks==
*Bite The standard leviathan bite.
*Tail Lash Shakes about then does the tail whip of leviathan's
*Water Shot Fires a single glob of water causing water blight.
*Charge Swims backwards before dashing forwards.
*Hip Check A hip check that propels itself forward.
*Spinning Hipcheck Rushes back and charges ending it in a spinning hip check.
(High Rank added)'
*Distractions It will call on Epioth in the area to swim around the hunters and tackle them.
More coming very soon
*Back Hand: Puts one hand in a claw position to the opposite side the hand is on and slashes it to the side the hands on, knocking back anything near it. Done rather quickly.
*Double Bite: Chomps twice in a row.
(Master Rank added)
*Back Flip: Taunting it raises its tail, after which will swing it causing its entire body to flip along side it. Causes Waterblight.
*Epioth Meat Shield: Calls to an individual Epioth, which upon preparing a charge attack or wyvern fire on alpha will dart at high speeds to take the blow itself, resulting in its death. Used rarely.
*Water Ball: An advanced form of the water shot, uses the same animation as it.
*Double Water Ball: Done when enraged
*Double Hipcheck: Done when enraged
==Rage and Tired States==
*Enraged: Head frill and back and tail fins become more red, huffs bubbles from mouth.
*Tired: Head fill droops, back fin colour dulls and drools.
==Mount==
Alpha Epioth is mounted in the same way to Leviathans on the back in water. It spins four times and tries to bite the hunter off
==Breaks==
*Head Frill
*Back Fin
==In the food chain==
They eat mainly algae, sea weed and other ocean plant life, no different than their younger ones.
Despite its deep sea living environment the Alpha Epioth is often preyed upon by Lagiacrus and its abyssal rare, Gobul and even the ocean tyrant Wiyska.
==Interactions with The Frenzy/Apex/Hyper State==
It can become infected by The Frenzy Virus, its skin becomes a violet tint and its screeches become quite distorted. It can preform its Spinning Hipcheck twice.
There is no way an Alpha Epioth can become Apex as they are too physically weak to fight it off.
Hyper Alpha Epioth's water shots/balls increase in size and get random speed changes to its attacks.
==Trivia==
*The Alpha Epioth is indeed a large monster and can be fought in its own quests.
*It can only be fought in water, it never travels out to land even when tired.
