Ganqeon

The **Ganqeon** are Mollusks with blade shaped bones on its tentacles.

## Appearance

Based on the Wiyska's appearance, there are several differences. Instead of a single crystal eye it has two red eyes on its sides, and what would be a Wiyska's eye is two small horns. It has two orange fins on the sides of its head, and on the back of the head is a red flesh vent of sorts. Its mouth can extend like the Wiyska but mostly stays in place. At the ends of its tentacles lies bone blades that extend from its tips. Its hide is pink in colour, the horns are grey, the mouth is brown, and the bone blades are a light brown.

## Intro

**Deserted Island: Area 11: Slice a fish**

A pair of fish, size bigger than a man swim in from the right. Although the scene looks peaceful, it quickly changes as a group of much smaller one frantically speed away from a dark octopus figure moving towards them, swinging its tentacles as if they were blades, only its red eyes visible.

The creatures appears, its tentacles show to contain blades and with a pink hide. Unable to catch the smaller fish it moves to get the big ones, flailing hard with all four tentacles it stuns the fish. It brings two to each fish and slices both into three pieces. It growls, extending its mouth to eat the meat.

Camera then shifts to the entrance, where the hunter is.

## Interactions with The Frenzy/Hyper State/Apex

Ganqeon can be infected by The Frenzy. Its pink hide turns a purple colour instead resembling its subspecies. The range of its water wave is increased.

In G Rank it is able to overcome The Frenzy and become Apex Ganqeon. It gains the move set of its subspecies, including its rare's roar. Instead of paralysis it uses water.

It can be in the Hyper Status.

## Trivia

* The monster was inspired by a comment by Rathalosaurus on its OldFanon version, suggesting a rare Wiyska species.
* It originally was known as Ganska, a Wiyska relative. But upon being moved here it lost that and became known as Ganqeon.
* The "qeon" in its name is a shortened version of the OldFanon species known as Queonid, which it was part of there.
* Aside from the blades, the lower ranked versions of Ganqeon are quite weak.
