<[Type: Teostra

<[Physiology: Teostra is a large dragon with leonine features and a fiery red coloration. He has a grand mane, large fangs, and a pair of horns that curve backward. His wings are covered in fur, and its tail ends in a clump of such fur. He is the male counterpart to Lunastra.
<[Abilities: Although Teostra possesses exceptional physical abilities, its main danger comes from its profound abilities over flame, allowing it to breathe out extremely powerful streams of fire to incinerate foes, ignite its surroundings, and generate such an intense aura of heat that it can burn those who merely approach it.
Alongside its flames, Teostra can create large amounts of explosive powder made from its own scales, which it can detonate at will by gnashing its teeth to create sparks. It can spread this powder around by covering itself in it as it moves around, or it can ignite all of its powder simultaneously to produce a devastating "Supernova".
<[Behavior: Teostra is a very aggressive monster. It will show dominance to anything that it encounters. Unlike Lunastra, who normally gives warnings to get out of its territory, Teostra will ruthlessly attack intruders until they are dead, even chasing them out of its normal territory.
Although older specimens of Teostra have been observed being notably calmer, it still will only tolerate the presence of intruders in its territory for so long. Teostra is known to cooperate with Lunastra if she is present in the same map, even sharing an interaction known as "Bonding" with each other.
<[Habitat: This monster is most often found in hot areas such as the Desert and the Volcano.
<[Extra Facts:
1. Teostra can produce a highly flammable powder and use its wings to spread it across the air. It then gnashes its teeth to create a spark, which then causes the powder around it to ignite and explode. The spark emitted has two colors, indicating the distance of the explosion. Red sparks indicate a close ring of explosions, while yellow sparks indicate a long range explosion.
2. Teostra's roar requires Earplugs to block.
3. The Fire Aura around Teostra causes Terrain damage and deflects all kinds of arrows and some kinds of bullets. For range weapons, any kind of arrows and normal bullets cannot penetrate Teostra's aura. Only elemental bullets, pierce bullets, explosive shells, paint shells, status-inflicting shells and thrown objects can. This also applies to Lunastra's aura and Kushala Daora's wind barrier. Teostra is unable to produce this aura if one of his horns are broken
