Amrita Lagombi

**Amrita Lagombi** is a Subspecies of Lagombi found in the Heaven's Mount and the Paladin's Eminence, notable for its golden fur, white skin, and crimson plating, a colouration brought on by excessive consumption of Aether Ambrosia and Hallowed Flowers. According to an ancient legend, It is said to live for thousands of years, and may even hold the secret to immortality.

## Physiology

Amrita Lagombi is very similar to the vanilla Lagombi in terms of appearance, but has some notable changes in colouration. Its fur is gold instead of white, the plating on its face, ears, and limbs are deep red instead of dark brown, and the skin on its face and plastron belly is white as opposed to dark blue. It is also larger in size than an ordinary Lagombi.

## Ecology

Amrita Lagombi has many of the same adaptations as an ordinary Lagombi, having a plastron-like shell on its stomach that allows it to slide around with ease, strong ears that can detect predators from many feet away, and a diet that consists of insects, plants, and mushrooms. However, there are some notable differences between it and the standard species. It possesses a larger size and greater durability to help it fend off the various threats that live within the Heaven's Mount and Paladin's Eminence, and uses rocks as improvised weapons, flinging them at anything that would threaten it. Its favourite foods are those containing Aether energy, such as Aether Ambrosia, the Aurapples of the Eminence, and Hallowed Flowers, and excessive consumption of them has resulted in its hide developing its signature white, gold, and red hue. As an adaptation towards this diet, its body has developed a specialized organ that stores Aether energy, and it releases this energy through pores on its limbs and stomach, bolstering the power of its physical attacks. A nocturnal species, the Amrita Lagombi is predominantly found at night, foraging and hunting during nightfall and sleeping in cavernous dens during the day, and when threatened, it can use its slippery plastron to slide away at high speed, with its ears detecting threats from miles away.

According to an ancient legend, the Amrita Lagombi was the companion of a legendary Wyverian huntress said to wield the power of the Moon, creating a strange powder that allowed both her and it to live for thousands of years; scholars theorize that this powder was made from herbs, mushrooms, Kelbi Horns, Nulberries, Wyvern Fangs, Wyvern Claws, Godbugs, Hallowed Flowers, Aurapples, with its effects being said to be far stronger than those found in Lifepowder and Dust of Life. However, because the species is territorial towards humans and other monsters alike, it is said that it does not like to share this powder with other organisms, and will only allow those it deems worthy to be near it, with those being other organisms with titles that pertain to godhood, like the huntress featured in the legend. Frequent use of this powder is said to the reason why it looks the way it does, for the powder also takes effect when placed on the beneficiary's skin. In addtiion, some theorize how the Amrita Lagombi would interact with an Immortal Zinogre, seeing how the former kills Godbugs while the latter uses them as a power source, but since the two never interact in nature, this is largely unknown outside of the Arena, but what little is known about this indicates that the two tolerate each others' presence to some extent; it is believed the former provides the elixir while the latter provides the bugs needed to make the elixir. However, there is nothing to prove that this legend is anthing but a legend.

In addition, to the dismay of many, attempts at replicating this "elixir of life" did not actually induce immortality in humans, but they did enhance users' health and wellness to some extent, so that's a silver lining.

## Behavior

Amrita Lagombi is territorial, attacking anything that draws too close to its domain, but will flee if outmatched, skating away to safety on its slippery stomach. According to an ancient legend, it constantly works towards making a medicine that induces immortality and will hide it from anyone it deems unworthy, but there is nothing to prove this.

## Abilities

Amrita Lagombi possesses control over the Aether Element, releasing a creamy white gas as it slides around to trip up enemies, and it will also defend itself by throwing rocks at aggressors. It also possesses greater strength and durablity than a a standard Lagombi.

## Habitat

Amrita Lagombi lives in the Heaven's Mount and the Paladin's Eminence.

## Attacks

Amrita Lagombi has the same attacks as the standard species, but the ice balls the standard species uses are replaced with rocks that inflict Earthblight on contact, and its dash attacks and claw swipes inflict Aetherblight. That said, it does have some attacks of its own.

**Drop Kick**

Similar to Snowbaron Lagombi, Amrita Lagombi does a powerful drop kick that results in it being floored for a few seconds, leaving it vulnerable until it gets back up. This attack deals high damage and sends the hunter flying across the area.

**Aether Slam**

Amrita Lagombi envelops itself in Aether energy, then jumps high into the air, attempting to belly flop the hunter as it falls and creating a burst of Aether energy as it lands. This attack deals medium-high damage, inflicts Aetherblight, and produces tremors that require Tremor Res (Lo) to negate.

**Aether Rocket**

Amrita Lagombi shifts to one side, stores energy, then does three fast 360 degree spins in a row that leaves sizable clouds of Aether gas behind before making a straightforward dash for the hunter, also leaving clouds behind. Contact with the Amrita Lagombi's body deals medium-high damage, whereas contact with the gas deals low damage, and both inflict Aetherblight. It will only use this attack when enraged.
