Tartaronis

Tartaronis is an Elder Dragon, first introduced in Monster Hunter Online.

Physiology

Tartaronis is a rather large Elder Dragon that resembles a sea turtle. Its facial structure is odd, with the top of its head having a distinctive pointed look to it. Its lower jaw is similar looking, bearing a resemblance to Ukanlos. On its back are several moving spikes that shift in and out whenever it moves or takes to the skies. It has a very long tail fin which holds greater length than its main body.

Abilities

This Elder Dragon's abilities tie into manipulating sand. While on the ground it often fires out blasts of sand from its back or fires off a larger projectile from its mouth. When it takes to the air it causes 4 tornadoes of sand to appear. This beast also surrounds itself with what appears to be an aura of sand. In addition to that while airborne it fires off projectiles from it's back far more frequently than on the ground.

Behavior

Tartaronis is very aggressive, attacking any intruders treading along its sands.

In-Game Description

Monster Hunter Online

分类
古龙种。

生境范围
目前仅栖息在迪特荒漠中的升月之地。

生态位
从生态位上来说，吞渊龙已经登临迪特荒漠的生态顶点。和其它古龙一样，吞渊龙现身时总是伴随着龙卷和沙尘暴等异常天候。许多升月之地的居民认为吞渊龙是沙漠意志的化身，因而将其当成神明来供奉，并且称呼其为“枯海凶神”。

适应性
吞渊龙得名于其进食时吞噬一切的姿态，以及巨大的犹如无底深渊一般的胃口。从外形上来看，吞渊龙颇似一只巨大的海龟，鳍状的四肢有利于在沙海中移动。背部的硬棘不仅可以用来抵御攻击，甚至能够射出，用以攻击远处的目标。

行为
背部的硬棘不仅可以用来抵御攻击，甚至能够射出，用以攻击远处的目标。令人意想不到的是，如此巨大的怪物能够在空中漂浮，表面上看，似乎是因为它能够控制热气流，然而实际上其生态远远要比想象的复杂许多。
