Similar in appearance to the Hermitaur with sharper claws, leg stubs and a higher-edge shell. The shell on its back was actually grown by the Ceanataur itself. Only when it grows much larger into a Shogun Ceanataur will it replace its shell with a larger monster skull, like a Gravios skull, or a giant snail shell. The Terra Shogun Ceanataur will use a Black Gravios skull.
Abilities
It is able to spit a small ball of poisonous fluid at foes. Sometimes, a Ceanataur may wait beneath the ground for prey or a hunter to pass, jumping out of the ground and striking them when they walk over. A Ceanataur that's burrowed underground can be spotted by the puffs of dust that it regularly spits out. The Ceanataur is considered highly dangerous, even more aggressive than the Hermitaur.
Habitat
Ceanataur lives mainly in Volcano, where its extremely sharp claws allow it to tunnel through the dense rock.

Notes
Throwing a Sonic Bomb near a Ceanataur will briefly immobilize it. Small Barrel Bombs thrown by a Felyne Comrade will also have the same effect.
