Barroth Ecology

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

Habitat Range
Barroth are commonly found in or close to watering holes and oases. If possible, they will stay in the more vegetated section and avoid the hottest portions of the plains. They will claim a muddy bog for themselves and stalk prey from underneath the mud. If prey does not come to them, they will sometimes venture out of their bogs in search of anthills.

Ecological Niche
Barroth are ambush predators. They will lie in wait underneath their bogs, and lash out at anything that disturbs them.

Biological Adaptations
Barroth is perfectly adapted to life in the sandy plains. They cool down in mudpools at the hottest parts of the day and feed on altaroths and possibly smaller vertabrates (judging by bones surrounding the mudpool where it starts off at and rests when weak). Its nostrils are located on the top of its head, which allows it to almost completely submerge itself in mud. Like alligators and crocodiles, Barroth are very hard to detect when submerged. This gives them the perfect chance to ambush prey from the cover of its bog.

Behavior
They spend most of the day resting under the mud. When searching for food or threatened, they will emerge and shake the mud from their bodies. They will not stay out of the bog for too long, however, as they will overheat quickly. When this happens, they will return to the mud and begin to roll around, coating their backs with more mud. If need be, they can burrow underground to escape. They are extremely territorial and will attack anything that enters their bog. When defending themselves, they prefer to use their hard tail and thick head to attack. Just like Uragaan resembles Gravios and Basarios, Barroth seems to behave and somewhat resemble Blos wyvern indicating Brute wyverns to be evolutionary cousins to other types of wyvern.
