Bazelgeuse Ecology

In-Game Information
A nefarious flying wyvern that travels the New World in search of prey. It rains down explosive bombs over a wide area to prey on whatever gets caught in the devastating blast.

Habitat Range
Bazelgeuse are only found in the New World. They are nomadic predators and can be found all across the continent.

Ecological Niche
Bazelgeuse easily assert themselves as apex predators in whatever environment they pass through, disrupting the local food chain.

Biological Adaptations
The Bazelgeuse's most distinctive trait is its ability to shed explosive scales. These special scales are created by solidifying its body fluids. Once dislodged, these scales usually remain inert until they're struck with enough force (such as the Bazelgeuse itself), acting as a sort of landmine. However, when the monster enters its "super-heated" state, the scales detonate almost immediately.

Behavior
Bazelgeuse will shed their explosive scales over a wide area in a sort of carpet bombing so they can prey on whatever gets caught in the blast. They are aggressive creatures, and will readily fight other large monsters.
