Aurora Somnacanth
Type	Large monster Leviathan		Threat lv	6 / 10
Element	Ice		Status	Ice
Weak	Fire Thunder		Resist	Water Ice Dragon

Introduction

Description: Light illuminates the dust scattered around this subspecies, making their fantastical appearance shimmer softly. Aurora Somnacanth sprays icy blasts in place of sleeping powder, attacking all who dare enter their territory. They use the permanent cold emanating from their bodies to freeze the vicinity, and then the frozen surface to move around swiftly.

Hunter tips: This subspecies slides and circles around more often than the normal Somnacanth. Keep focused on their position when they have all four legs on the ground. The ice breath is very powerful, causing near-fatal freezing. You can escape up in the air, but focus on circling behind and keeping your distance.

Habitats: Frost Islands, Citadel
