I personally REALLY want more insectoid/bug monsters and non-traditionally draconic elder dragons in Monster Hunter World, so I took it into my own hands
Timorapendra, the Mountain Slayer
The Timorapendra is a strange monster, even for an elder dragon. They will meticulously choose to settle in habitats with a high population of other elder dragons. They will then purposefully fight for control of the area, consuming most main prey of the closest elder dragon in the area. After slightly starving an elder dragon, the Timorapendra will pounce, feasting on the weakened beast. They have an impressive arsenal of natural weapons, from a corrosive venom spray to mandibles that ignite the spray, on top of their impressive natural speed and maneuverability, any elder dragon forced to face a Timorapendra head on better be ready for an all out brawl
Feathertail Centipedes are an entire genus of centipedes from eastern Africa.
Their hindmost legs are amazing, bizarre and rather beautiful. They’re extremely long, often brightly coloured and always flattened into strange feather shapes.
The centipede uses these crazy legs to warn predators and other interfering beasts of their venomous presence.
Waving the legs from side to side causes them to emit a kind of rustling sound as one patch of leg rubs up against another patch of the same leg. It’s sort of like how crickets sing by rubbing their wings together.
They don’t, however, rub one leg against the other. Each leg makes the noise on its own… in more ways than one. The centipede can lop off one of its special legs and it will keep waving around making noise. Hopefully it will prove distracting enough that the Feathertail can make an escape.
It makes you wonder… how long before we get flying centipedes?
