Odogaron Ecology

In game Information
''A terrifying monster that scours the Rotten Vale for carrion. Its highly aggressive nature means that anything, be it monster or man, is a potential meal.''

Habtiat Range
Odogaron are currently found only in the New World and in the depths of the Rotten Vale. A deadly, rotting environment that has a gas that saps the life out of man and monster alike. On occasion however Odograon will venture out to the Coral Highlands where, if Legiana is not present, it will assume the role of Apex Monster.

Ecological Niche
Odogaron is typically the Apex Monster of the Rotten Vale and in the occasions it's gone above, in the Coral Highlands as well. Despite it's size the Odogaron is endlessly aggressive and will readily fight monsters larger than it and even monsters that are not bound to the ground. It will eat the corpses of Legiana's that fall into the Rotten Vale thus indicating that it will prey on the Legiana at the very least. The only time it's rule is trumped is by Vaal Hazak, an Elder Dragon, and Deviljho who will grab and flail it around like a club hurting it in the process.

Biological Adaptations
The Odogaron is a fearsome and powerful monster despite it's, or perhaps because, of it's small frame. It's shown to be strong enough to throw the Paolumu around like a ragdoll in the turf war involving the two. It's also incredibly agile able to cover considerable distances with ease. It's most noteworthy feature however is it's pairs of double claws. The claws are typically folded back against it's limbs but when it attacks the claws will unfold and rest on top of the first pairs of claws. These claws allow the Odograon to rip through armor and cause bleeding possibly to feast easier on their prey. An example of this is when it get's into a turf war with Radobaan and it rips through the bones on it's chin with ease. After eating meat or Legiana corpses when enraged it's back will glow brightly and it will huff heavy breaths of smoke. An interesting fact about the Odograon is that it's not actually immune to the Effluvian gas that exists throughout the Rotten Vale but in fact does not care about it in the slightest.

Behavior
Odoragon is an endlessly aggressive monster that, as stated before, will fight anything regardless of size or stature. However this behavior can result in the monster getting in over it's head when it fights monsters that are just stronger than it overall. This occurs particularly when it meet's Deviljho, Vaal Hazak and Bazelgeuse.
