 * The Paratoad is able to expel a paralyzing gas that can stop a monster in its tracks.
 * Vines in trees can be used to immobilize some larger targets.
 * Aptonoth are wide spread in the Ancient Forest due to plentiful food and water, but their sheer numbers attract large predators. A few Aptonoth have been found ripped apart violently by some kind of predator.

Great Jagras
