Angilayankas

The section(s) Equipment is/are still missing fully or partially.

**Angilayankas** (アンギラヤンクス, *Angirayankusu*) are Snake Wyverns.

## Physiology

Angilayankas are large Snake Wyverns that have silver skin with wavy, light green streaks and a light green fin along its back. It has three fins around its round head made of light yellow-colored webbing. The tail is surrounded by a long, thick, light yellow fin that is somewhat shaped like a flame. It has short yet muscular limbs with light yellow claws.

## Abilities

Angilayankas are able to electrify their entire bodies with the use of specialized nerves. Like real snakes, they will constrict prey to capture it.

## Ecology

### Taxonomy

* Order: Snake Wyvern
* Suborder: Eel Snake Wyvern
* Family: Angila

### Habitat Range

The known habitats of Angilayankas include the Primal Forest, Flooded Forest, Deserted Island, Jungle, Marshlands, and the Misty Peaks.

### Ecological Niche

These Snake Wyverns utilize deadly ambush attacks to constrict and electrocute prey. Their diets are extremely varied, and may include items such as Slagoth, Aptanoth, Kelbi, Gargwa, and Epioth. Other potential prey items include Royal Ludroth, Great Wroggi, (Plum) Daimyo Hermitaur, and (Ash) Kecha Wacha. Despite being such a fearsome beast, competition involves equally powerful creatures such as Zinogre, Rajang, Seltas Queen, Gobul, Duramboros, Rathian, and Rathalos. However, should an Angilayankas encounter any of these monsters, it is more than capable of holding its own.

### Biological Adaptations

Angilayankas is well known for its ability to generate a large amount of electricity that coats its entire body. The source of its electricity are its nerves; it is capable of manifesting its electrical nerve impulses on the outside of body. It is able to do thanks to special myelin sheathes that coat its nerves. Angilayankas skin is soft and rubbery; this is so that it is not damaged by the electricity it generates.

Angilayankas are amphibious, capable of surviving on land and in water. When in water they absorb oxygen through their skin. The skin is composed of membranous tissue that is permeable to water and allows the respiratory gases to diffuse between the blood vessels and the surrounding water. When on land they breathe using their nostrils and lungs, much like humans.

### Behavior

Angilayankas are highly aggressive and territorial, ready to attack intruders and prey alike.

* When low on stamina, its light green markings will become a much darker shade of green and will fail to produce electricity.
* It will prey on certain Herbivores to regain stamina.
