Physiology: He is physically similar to Rathian, but alongside scales, his body is covered in hot pink scales full of venom and rough green plating. A long, pink, venom-filled horn protrudes from his head, in a similar fashion to Monoblos. Venomous thorns also protrude from his body, wings, tail, feet, and head. His body, feet, and tail are more muscular than other flying wyverns. He has pink claws on his feet and red veins will appear on his body similar to Tigrex.
Behavior: He is unusually passive in nature and will be often found sleeping, but he is extremely durable. Once enough damage is dealt, he will become aggressive and will attack any intruders in his path.
Abilities: After waking up, Espinas will attack once a threat is spotted. In addition to his extremely thick hide making him impervious to most attacks, Espinas has the ability to shoot toxic fireballs that causes both poison and paralysis upon impact. In addition, most of his physicsl attacks will inflict poison due to the thorns. Espinas will take advantage of his immense weight and physical strength and physically overpower his foes, but he can also exhibit surprising bursts of speed such as sprinting at targets to ram them with his horn.
Why he is my favorite? -he is an Exotic Species like Lavasioth and Hypnocatrice since he was in Frontier. -he is the monster form of Ruby Rose. -his weapons are dual elemental, dealing fire and poison. -fun fact: Espinas was meant to appear in Freedom Unite but didn't because of Frontier Fan Backlash.
