||[u]Combat Tactics[/u]||[/b][/i][/color]
[color=6ecff6][b]The Greater Jak-Jak is a plated force of sheer willpower. Usually nesting only near its young or the rare company of other Jak-Jaks, this monster has a strong urge to stand it's ground and assert it's dominance. It uses intimidation to its advantage, scaring off predators with its massive bulk and menacing exterior. Where other species of prey would flaunt a body of food, the Greater Jak-Jak flaunts a body of pure muscle and scale. Furthermore, though a herbivore, the Greater Jak-Jak possesses blunt claws and a forward-set of razor teeth for self-protection.

One of the Greater Jak-Jak's most defining features is it's shield-like wings, that of which are too heavy and bulky to provide the beast with any movement off the ground. Instead, the Greater Jak-Jak harnesses the hardness of it's wings into smashing weapons or even bodily shields, creatively morphing the appendages' purpose into a unique combat trick and defense.[/b][/color]

[color=6ecff6][b]+ [u]Wing Bash:[/u] [i]The Greater Jak-Jak raises its armored wings as it prepares to bashes the nearest enemy, throwing them off their feet and dealing Impact damage on a successful swing.[/i]

+ [b][u]Armored Tail Thrash:[/u][/b] [i]The Greater Jak-Jak swings its heavy tail upwards into the air, only to bring it down onto an enemy with its thick and armored tip, dealing Impact damage. It will try to keep the target pinned to the ground under the weight of its tail for as long as possible.[/i]

+ [u]Charge and Gore:[/u] [i]The Greater Jak-Jak riles up its back spines and charges into an enemy. If the enemy is hit, it can be caught in the Greater Jak-Jak's horns and thrown about, dealing extra Impact damage. If the Greater Jak-Jak hits anything other than an enemy, it is stunned for a brief period of time.

+ [u]Headbutt:[/u] The Greater Jak-Jak lifts an enemy off the ground with the force of its horns and snout as the monster throws them into the air, dealing impact damage on contact with both the ground and the Jak-Jak's horns.[/i][/b][/color]

[b][color=6ecff6]The Greater Jak-Jak's most prominent breaking points are its horns, snout scales, wing scales, and tail. Those of which usually drop its thick hide and some other, ice-resistant materials.[/color][/b]

	[color=6ecff6][i]You have descended from rocky, brisk heights down into the underbelly of this arctic ecosystem, your already ragged boots dredging through tough packs of dirty ice and caked mud. Your scouts have told you that your target Jak-Jak is an older mother, with her young just now starting to thicken their scaley hides and grow their black claws. She is still a ferocious one, however, especially around her babies; you were told to approach with caution.[/i][/color]

	[color=6ecff6][i]You and your team keep descending, the smell of resting snow and compacted dirt surrounding you as you attempt to find your way to the Greater Jak-Jak's nesting area. The once tall trees above have now devolved into warped pines and stubby cypruses, the sub-species cluttering the frosty floor like overgrown shrubbery. Small, rodent-like mammals dart in and out of the diminutive foliage around you, little representations of rats and possums finding their way to their own nests in this icy labyrinth. Goodness, this place really is like a labyrinth; cold, unmerciful, and confusing.[/i][/color]

	[center][color=6ecff6][i]A strong gust of wind surprises you, and you shiver.[/i][/color][/center]

	[color=0076a3][i]The Greater Jak-Jak starts to rise herself up from her young, up and away from a snowy bed of dirt and under-brush providing any amount of warmth her babies need outside of her embrace. Bringing herself to full stature, a wiggle of her tail and abdomen throws off the crushed ice and snow that slowly covered her backside throughout her slumber. This female Jak-Jak was not as big as the sex got, but it was large indeed. Scars laid across her face from battles against predatory beasts that dare threaten its domain, settling in the skin as testaments to the monster's fortitude. Though she was a mother, she was fierce, and this was not her first batch; at the age of 67, this Jak-Jak had fostered 2 lineages other of her kind already. Successfully.

	The beast strolled outside, its great muscles creaking and shifting under the thick hide of old scales she wore proudly. Jak-Jaks lived into their early sixties most of the time, but this one had grown even stronger with age. She had the will to carry her kind's ferocity well over her own lifespan. After this host of children, however, she may lay down her supremacy and drift to a world beyond that. Yet, her job was still the same as long as she stood; protect, intimidate, dominate. She had fought off settlers last week, in fact, the puny human's spears bouncing off her skin like pencils thrown at a sheet metal. They ran off hurriedly, and mother Jak-Jak found it pleasing to see such a thing be so.

	But here she was, another day of feeding her young, and another day of territorial struggles. As she exited her cold, shallow cave, the Greater Jak-Jak gave a mighty bellow that rang throughout the undergrowth. Mammals scurried into their trees, herbivores ran away from their frozen-over watering holes, and the trees swayed with silent tension. Jak-Jaks were no match for the beasts that trodded up above this labyrinth of caves and stubby plants. But, inside the Labyrinth, they could happily play their part as powerful, egotistical knights. The Greater Jak-Jak gave another final roar, tearing through the cold air with a vocal shout of caution and challenge to those who dare approach her domain. She made it extra loud, for good measure.
