Hunter Notes

Monster Characteristics:
Amphibians commonly found in Oilwell Basin. Subcutaneous slime protects them from getting burned. Gelidron lay ambushes, waiting to snap up prey with their big, meaty tongues. Fine hairs on their digits, combined with sharp claws, allow them to climb straight up walls. Unfortunately for the Gelidron, their edible parts are delicious, putting them in high demand with carnivores in the wild...as well as in Azuz.

Ecology & Habitat

Gelidron are amphibians native to the Oilwell Basin. Though unassuming in appearance, they are ambush predators that wait motionless beneath the oily waters to snap up passing Crudeshell Crabs. Despite this, they are easily startled by hunters and will flee from larger threats, quickly burrowing into the soft earth to escape danger. They will passively stare at hunters sometimes with their mouths open and their head following the hunters motions.

Physiology

Gelidron possess dark, fatty hides with a slick sheen resembling spilled oil. Their coloration shifts subtly in the light, giving off a multi-colored iridescence along the edges of their bodies. They have dark brown eyes with round black pupils but lack eyelids, giving them a glassy, unblinking stare. Their mouths are entirely toothless, equipped only with a fleshy, muscular tongue for grasping prey. They walk on four limbs with four claws on each forelimb and five on each hindlimb. Their tails are long and flat, somewhat resembling a platypus tail in shape but covered in the same oily hide as the rest of their bodies.

Attacks & Abilities

Gelidron are docile toward Hunters, showing no inclination to attack. When threatened, they prefer to retreat rather than fight, digging rapidly into the mud or silt of the Basin floor. They are preyed upon by numerous creatures, including Kranodath, Rathian, and even the people of Azuz, who consider their meat a delicacy.
