Shen Gaoren Ecology

Disclaimer: This is merely a plausible explanation for the monster(s) in this article, and should not be considered canon.

Taxonomy
A massive Carapaceon at least 25 feet tall. Dark grey in color. Possibly in its own category of Carapaceons due to its immense size.

Habitat Range
Appears only in the Fortress and Town, but can most likely survive in a range of environments given food is sufficient. Being a Carapaceon, its body probably cannot tolerate colder, more arctic regions.

Ecological Niche
Most likely an apex predator, possibly omnivorous to a degree. Capable of travelling great distances in search of sustanence. It is too large to be a preyed upon by anything smaller than itself.

Biological Adaptations
It's massive pincers are increbibly strong, being described as capable of cutting through the toughest volcanic rock. Shen Goaren must spend a good deal of time digging "small" prey items out of rocky nooks and crannies. It's long legs give the Shen Gaoren an increbible field-of-vision, and if it's eyesight is any good it should be able to spot prey from miles away. Like many other Carapaceons, it's rear section is naturally very soft, and, if left unprotected, it's a huge weak point. Thankfully Shen Gaoren are able to acquire the equally gigantic skull shells of the mighty Lao Shan Lung (whether they are actually able to kill the massive dragon is still uncertain, but unprobable) which serves as increbibly efficient armor. The Shen Gaoren is grey/blue in color, but its legs turn red as they experience great pain. Its legs are prone to internal bleeding.
