Bactradon

## Physiology

A large frog-like Amphibian, Bactradon is primarily black, with an irregular pattern of yellow or white stripes running along the back, flanks, chest, head, and belly. The legs are sky blue and are peppered with small black dots. Its limbs are also very long in comparison to its body, and its fingers and toes are webbed right to the tips. A fringe of skin stretches between the limbs. The webbing on its feet and limbs are black. It has large eyes, which feature horizontal pupils.

## Abilities

Bactradon is able to glide using its webbed legs and feet. It also secretes a sticky mucus from its skin that assist it in climbing and gliding. This mucus also serves to deter predators and can also be scraped off its body and flung at prey in order to capture its intended target.

## Ecology

### Taxonomy

* Kingdom: Animalia
* Phylum: Chordata
* Class: Amphibia
* Order: Anura
* Family: Rhacophoridae
* Subfamily: Gigarhacophorinae
* Genus: Gigarhacophorus
* Species: G. dendrobater

### Ecological Niche

Bactradon is an ambush predator that uses its gliding capabilities to get the jump on prey. Anything that's smaller than it is a potential meal. If ambushing prey isn't an option, it will resort to using the mucus on its body to catch prey. It will also scavenge if possible. Despite this, it is rather low in the food chain and is threatened by stronger predators such as Dobacho, Phyla-Phola, and Buphogos.

### Biological Adaptations

Bactradon has smooth, thin skin that is kept moist by a layer of mucus. The mucus has a slimy, sticky texture that grants it multiple functions, such as defense against predators and catching prey. Webbing on its legs and feet allow it glide from the top of the kelp plants in its habitat. Unlike most frogs, Bactradon possesses teeth on both of its jaws instead of just its upper jaw.

### Behavior

Bactradon is aggressive and territorial, as one would expect. It sees anything that is smaller than it is as prey.

## Attacks

* **Roar**: Bactradon roars when it first spots the hunter, or whenever it enters rage mode. Deals no damage.
* **Bite**: Bactradon lurches forward to bite the hunter. Deals a minor amount of damage.
* **Claw Swipe**: Bactradon swipes one of its forelegs at the hunter. Deals a minor amount of damage.
* **Charge**: Bactradon will roar threateningly and then charges at the hunter. Oftentimes this attack is used to start a combo, especially when enraged. Deals a moderate amount of attack.
	+ **Double Charge**: Bactradon will roar threateningly and then charges at the hunter, and then turns around to charge at the hunter again. Deals a moderate amount of attack.
* **Jump Attack**: Bactradon will jump up and then land heavily to the hunter. Deals a moderate amount of damage and causes tremors. Some globs of mucus will be flung off its body when it lands, inflicting the Gooey status if the hunter is hit by one of them.
* **Mucus Fling**: Bactradon uses one of its forelegs to scrape some mucus off its body, and then throws the clump of mucus at the hunter. Deals a moderate amount of damage and inflicts the Gooey status.
* **Back Kick**: Bactradon uses one of its hindlegs to kick the hunter. Deals a moderate amount of damage

## Notes

* Bactradon's design is a combination of many different frog species, such as *Gastrotheca guentheri*, *Rhacophorus nigropalmatus*, and *Dendrobates tinctorius*.
* Its head and each of is four legs can be wounded.
* Dealing enough damage to it will cause it to flinch, temporarily removing the mucus from its body.
* Bactradon's roar requires Earplugs to block.
