• Family: Tobi-Kadachi

Classified as a Fanged Wyvern native to the New World

Habitat Range

Tobi-Kadachis are known to solely inhabit the Ancient Forest and may be related in some degree to the Zinogre from appearance and harboring familiar abilities using electricity.

Ecological Niche

Tobi-Kadachis are arboreal predators that use their mobility and static electricity to pursue and pounce on prey such as Mosswines, Vespoids, both Forest and Woodland Pteryxs, and rarely, Jagras.

Tobi-Kadachis compete with other large monsters, such as Rathalos and Anjanath, for both prey and territory, with the Fanged Wyverns often being overpowered by the aforementioned species.

Biological Adaptations

Tobi-Kadachis are capable of building up vast amounts of static electricity by brushing up against nearby objects. The electricity collects in its' fur, and allows it to shock potential predators and prey alike. Tobi-Kadachis are excellent climbers thanks to their hooked claws and powerful limbs. The glider membrane under their forelimbs allows them to preform acrobatic leaps and bounds from tree trunk to tree trunk, as well as making it more difficult for opponents to catch them.

Behavior

Tobi-Kadachi are normally quite reclusive, preferring to skulk in the darker, more tangled regions of the Ancient Forest. If angered however, they can become quite dangerous, and caution is advised when dealing with them.
