Tatsuo

One of the most famous and infamous monsters in the world in their short time being seen in the world, the Tatsuo is a large bipedal wyvern with a spiny armored hide covering their body that measure out to twenty four feet in length from head to tail at their largest. The outer shell of the Tatsuo are often bright and vibrant red or green with black markings all along its back while the underside of its body is lighter while the wing membranes feature ornate patterns with no Tatsuo being the same as another. They have yellowed eyes, a beaked mouth with dozens of teeth with a long tail featuring a heavy spiked club while their feet are lined with poisoned talons. The Tatsuo is in every way like a Jaeger, an acrobatic monster built for fighting while it can breath fire with a sac in its mouth, controlling chakra to mold basic fire ninjutsu. The Tatsuo is unmatched by most others in the air with their intelligence of a human, they're a monster capable of fighting close, far or a mix of both. Tatsuo are seen in two colors, the males are a shade of red while a female are a dull green.

Tatsuo are dragons in all but name, highly intelligent creatures that nest almost anywhere in the world with their preference being high out of reach locations for their nests. Tatsuo often live alone and control a territory spanning for several miles but may be seen with a mate once a year to raise the young before the pair split up again and leave the young with the mother. Tatsuo are Carnivores and will prey on other animals, humans or even other monsters and are one of the only monsters that are capable of eatting Tiger Snakes due to an evolution that's made them immune to their diseased bodies. These winged beasts are not the most disruptives monsters but are extremely popular for warriors to hunt to test their skill, to be tamed and even their eggs are often poached either to raise a Tatsuo from birth or as a delicacy in some areas such as the Land of Tea. The Tatsuo are intelligent and even understand human speech but cannot communicate, they're among the few monsters that do not attack humans indiscriminately unless their territory is disturbed and will go to great lengths to prevent their habitat from being destroyed.
