Monsters Related to: Beotodus, Plesioth, Green Plesioth, Zenith Plesioth, Lavasioth, Magma Lavasioth, Aruganosu, Goruganosu, Cephadrome, and Cephalos.

Physiology: Jyratodus is related to Lavasioth, and as such resembles a bipedal coelocanth fish. He has two dorsal fins, two pectoral fins, two pelvic fins, and a long, thick tail. Instead of covering himself in hardened lava like Lavasioth, Jyratodus covers his body in mud and sludge.

Behavior: When left undisturbed, Jyratodus won't bother anything in his territory, such as the catfish Gajau. Once disturbed however, he will turn aggressive and try to injure threats. He is known to have turf wars against Barroth, a brute wyvern that he shares his desert home with. He stays near the water in which the wildspire waste is known to have, as his body needs to be in a moist area to perform his attacks.

Abilities: He is able to cover his body in  mud for protection, and spits a watery sludge that can temporarily trap hunters to defend himself. Jyratodus leaves behind solid mud piles, which hunters and use as ledges. Much like Barroth, he will roll around in mud to cover his body again. Like all piscine wyverns, he will perform hipchecks, but he is known to do hipchecks underwater. In water, he is known to do charge attacks that involve charging at attackers, and can fling mud from his tail. Similar to Beotodus, Jyratodus' roar is loud and can stun close range opponents.

Why he is my least favorite?
-the hipchecks are annoying as always.
-even though his weapons are useful, I don't like using them.
