Taxonomy
A giant Fanged Beast found in cold climates, Gamuto is a newly discovered species of Fanged Beast and easily the largest known species of Fanged Beast.

Habitat Range
Gamuto have been seen inhabiting the Snowy Mountains and Frozen Seaway.

Ecological Niche
A herbivorous species, Gamuto are known to feed on plants found in their snowy environments. Gamuto have even been found eating wood. Though Gamuto are giants, and have little to fear, they have to live in locations home to large predators like Tigrex, Blangonga, and Zamtrios. Despite this Gamuto are one giant that is rarely fed on by predators.

Biological Adaptions
A full grown Gamuto is larger than a full grown Duramboros. Gamuto's whole body is covered in fur that is mixes of reds, blues, and whites. This fur is perfect for protecting it against the cold of the snowy environments it lives in and also perfect for absorbing powerful attacks from threats. On a Gamuto's legs are spikes used for sticking snow to its legs. This snow on Gamuto's legs is both used as a weapon and as an armor. The snow is able to protect Gamuto's legs from being damaged easily by threats and to make its attacks, which involve it smashing down on its enemies with its immense weight, more destructive. Its trunk is strong and used for picking up objects like certain foods. However, Gamuto have been seen violently grabbing smaller monsters and slamming them down on the ground if they threatened it. Its trunk is estimated to be strong enough to lift up large Flying Wyverns. The trunk is also used to protect itself or even to coat its legs. It coats its legs in snow to make its smashing attacks more destructive, making it less likely for its threats to get out alive. On a Gamuto's head is a large shell that is used for protection against threats. Its tusk are hard enough to pierce through the icy ground of its environments.

Behavior
Gamuto are a highly territorial species. If a Gamuto finds a predator in its territory, it is known to kill the predator instantly with one powerful blow. Though a Gamuto is territorial, a starving Gamuto is extremely violent. A starving Gamuto is known to attack just about anything, even going as far as eating wood off homes to satisfy its own hunger.
