Royal Ludroth are male [[Ludroth]] that have grown to a large size, giving them the authority to act as the leaders of their packs. Known as the "Water Beast", it is able to live in both freshwater and saltwater. What appears to be a mane around its neck is actually a collection of sponge-like tissue, sometimes called a "yellow collar". The larger the mane, the healthier the male. The primary function of this structure is to hydrate the leviathans skin by storing moisture, which allows for prolonged stays on land. The Royal Ludroth uses its huge body to lunge at prey or enemies, and the water spurting from its mane soaks the target when it comes into contact with them. In the past, it was sometimes mistaken as a lady with long wet hair and a snake-like body - the origin of many folk tales. | |||
<br><br> | <br><br> | ||
Ludroth spend some of their time hiding in waterlogged caves or in deep waters. They are most often sighted when they come out to shallow waters, where they are more sluggish than in the depths. Notably, all the smaller Ludroth that accompany a Royal Ludroth are female, and they form harem colonies consisting of several females per male. | |||
<br><br> | <br><br> | ||
The scales of the Royal Ludroth shine with a dazzling brilliance, polished to a sheen by the water. When held up to the sun, the light reflects in a diffuse manner, creating an indescribable beauty. Of particular note are its front legs, which are extremely strong and sturdy, reminiscent of [[Fanged Wyvern]]. It is unclear whether these developed as a result of an aquatic lifestyle, or if they are remnants of its ancestors that once lived on land. On top of its head, the Royal Ludroth grows a decorative crest. This structure rises and sinks in tandem with the creatures temper. Its size, as well as the number of spines, denote the social status of the individual. | |||
<br><br> | <br><br> | ||
The Royal Ludroth shares its habitat with many powerful opponents, including [[Somnacanth]], [[Tetranadon]], [[Jyuratodus]], and [[Almudron]]. Although fierce territorial disputes do occur, these areas remains relatively peaceful, likely because each monster has a different preference: The Royal Ludroth tends to prefer running water, while the Tetranadon prefers gravel areas, and the Almudron sticks to stagnant, muddy waters. So despite their proximity, their ecological niches are well differentiated. | |||
<br><br> | <br><br> | ||
'''Hunting Tips:''' It is known that it is more active and violent near water, where it pursues its prey relentlessly. In addition to compressing the Aqua Sac inside its body to squirt out powerful water blasts, it also absorbs water through specialized pores in its skin, mixing it with bodily fluids and spitting it back out as a viscous liquid. When agitated, its body begins producing [[Dash Extract]], a compound which reduces fatigue on muscle tissue. Even so, it eventually becomes exhausted when it loses the water stored in its yellow collar, so it rolls around in the water or heads to a waterfall to recover. | |||

In addition to storing water, it also inflates to intimidate, and protects vital points from attacks by other people or enemies. In addition, the mane plays a very important role for Royal Ludroth, as it absorbs the stored water through special holes in the skin, mixes it with body fluids, and spits out a viscous liquid.

It seems that the younger ones catch fast-moving fish, and judging from the shape of their teeth, it is assumed that they eat a high proportion of crustaceans. However, when they gather in groups, they also prey on large aquatic herbivores such as [[Epioth]], and adult males spend more time on land due to the development of their manes, so they may prey on [[Aptonoth]]s. They are also alert to leftover food from carnivores, and as soon as they detect signs of hunting by other monsters, they will head to the hunting ground to get the leftovers. Therefore, it seems that making noise on the surface of the water will attract Ludroth.

A male Leviathan that lives near water, both saltwater and freshwater. Also known as the "Water Beast." The sponge-like structure on its neck absorbs water to prevent its skin from drying out. This seems to enable it to live on land as well. When hunting, it spits out a special mucus and grabs its prey by trapping it under its feet.
Royal Ludroth’s Mane
The mane that grows from the chin to the back as if to show the dignity of the leader of the pack. This is a scale that has been altered to retain water, and hair-like fibers are formed from dead cells, which are then further structured in a mesh-like structure. This allows a large amount of water to accumulate. Inside the mane, there are spines that can be raised or lowered, and when there is a lot of water, they can be raised and the entire mane can be inflated.

In addition, the mane plays a very important role for Royal Ludroth, as it absorbs the stored water through special holes in the skin, mixes it with body fluids, and spits out a viscous liquid. Royal Ludroth hates dryness, and if its mane loses water, it becomes easily fatigued. In such cases, it has the habit of returning to the water to replenish its water supply.
Diet of Royal Ludroth and Ludroth
Both are omnivores with strong carnivorous tendencies, and eat a variety of animals, including crustaceans, fish, and meat. When hungry, they will eat algae, but they don't seem to like it that much. It seems that the younger ones catch fast-moving fish, and judging from the shape of their teeth, it is assumed that they eat a high proportion of crustaceans. However, when they gather in groups, they also prey on large aquatic herbivores such as Epioth, and adult males spend more time on land due to the development of their manes, so they may prey on Aptonoths. They are also alert to leftover food from carnivores, and as soon as they detect signs of hunting by other monsters, they will head to the hunting ground to get the leftovers. Therefore, it seems that making noise on the surface of the water will attract Ludroth. In particular, when Royal Ludroth is present, they sometimes steal the prey that other monsters have caught.
Royal Ludroth forming a harem
Unlike Jaggi, they do not have a highly social nature, such as hunting in groups in a planned manner. When a Royal Ludroth appears, the Ludroth seem to come out of hiding. They live in a group called a harem, with 10-20 Ludroth in each. The boss of the harem, the Royal Ludroth, is always on the lookout for other males and patrols his territory, so territorial disputes seem to be frequent. Therefore, a single Royal Ludroth reigns as the boss of the same harem for a short period of time. When Royal Ludroth fight for territory, they frequently move the five crests on their heads to intimidate their opponents. The amount of water stored in their manes is also a major factor in determining superiority, and to show the amount, they shake their bodies to scatter the water stored in their manes. Males that win such disputes can form larger harems.
Ludroth Breeding
During the hatching season, females move to live on land. At that time, the males, who have stored up a large amount of water, seem to water everyone on land. Ludroth are oviparous, digging holes in the sand to lay 1-4 eggs. Adults do not care for the young after hatching, and the young search for a group to belong to after growing up.
