BOMBORO
Title - Explosion beetle
Monster class - Neopteran
Known locales - Nigh any environment
Element/ailment - Blast + Hellfire
Elemental weakness - Water (3), Ice (2), Thunder (1), Dragon (1), Fire (1)
Ailment weakness - Poison (3), Paralysis (2), Sleep (2), Stun (0), Blast (0)
Bomboro is a neopteran found roaming across many different environments. It is distinguished by the heavily armoured spiky carapace and its purplish-golden sheen. As its appearance indicates, Bomboro is incredibly durable, with its second and third pair of limbs boasting reinforced scutes to withstand impact and explosive force, whilst the first pair can act as cudgels as well as handling. Notably, the abdomen can extend a mace-like tip that exudes reactive chemicals.
Though imposing, Bomboro is a fungivore, dedicated to travelling far and wide to sample all types of fungi. It can extend its head from the armoured covering to dig for mycelium or reach sheltered mushrooms, often using its heavyset limbs to dig out food where it can. Supremely confident in its defences, Bomboro is notably very docile, perfectly tolerant of humans and other monsters alike in its proximity. It takes a lot to aggravate the neopteran, so field workers can operate safely in its presence. In fact, Bomboro can be a beneficial presence since the possibility of angering it usually deters most predators.
Bomboro's strength lies not only in its defensive integrity but also its ability to produce explosive chemicals from its abdomen. A combination of biological components produced by symbiotic bacteria mixed in the neopteran's abdomen results in its abdomen's tip launching blasts of volatile residue. This makes for excellent projectiles, often launching it in large globs or concentrating the reaction into a stream. If particularly enraged, Bomboro adds new components to its mixtures alongside gaseous byproducts of its diet. This new reaction discharges burning purple flames that near perfectly emulate the Hellfire used by the fanged wyvern Magnamalo. Much like Magnamalo, Bomboro can also use its explosive bursts to propel itself, either avoiding attack or using its armoured body as a battering ram.
While Bomboro can fly, it is too heavy for its wings to sustain flight for long, and so often it travels by explosive propulsion. It never stops roaming, always searching for new pastures of fungi to feed on. Males and females have no notion of reproductive cycles; they will simply mate as soon as they cross paths and then go their separate ways. The mother lays her eggs close to a large supply of fungi and then leaves them to their fate. The young shelter in the undergrowth until they are large and bulky enough to survive in the open wild.
Interestingly, Bomboro can at times be altruistic to other species. It has been known to attack predators that it witnesses attempting to prey on other monsters, and otherwise reacts violently to acts of aggression. Researchers do not yet know why Bomboro seems so protective of weaker creatures, though perhaps it is a luxury afforded by its impressive defences.
Bomboro can prove challenging on account of its ailments and armour (Low Rank - 3, High/Master Rank - 3), but overall proves too predictable to be a genuinely threatening monster. Pitfall traps work well against its bulk, and water weapons can reduce the effectiveness of its explosive residue. While supremely armoured, Bomboro is not invincible; hunters could aim for the comparitively fragile underside and abdomen.
Between its armour and explosive bursts, Bomboro is too troublesome for most predators to deal with. It rarely competes and is usually content to feed alongside other fungivores. However, even Bomboro must fear spectacular predators such as Deviljho or Bazelgeuse. In addition, its nemesis is the bird wyvern Valefirir Zevir, who possesses numerous tools to overcome Bomboro. At any hint of Valefirir Zevir's presence, any Bomboro in the area immediately flee.
