Things you may not know about Ceadeus(Info comes from MH3, MH3U, MH4 wikiwiki.jp, atwiki.jp, Pike)

Ceadeus

Firstly, Ceadeus' family were first powerful land dwellers before they later evolved for life in the deep sea(Much like whale evolution). Some of their body parts evolved into fins to fit this new lifestyle while others completely degenerated.

Its length is 5837.2cm while Lao-Shan Lung is 6960cm. Its size is the true reason why its feared.

Ceadeus can cause earthquakes just by rubbing its horn against rocks and the sea floor. It also causes tsunamis occasionally from the earthquakes, which reportedly destroyed an island.

Ceadeus is sometimes described as a moon from the fact its pure white and looks like a huge moon in the sea at night.

Its unknown why its luminous organs glow blue and why they turn red when in Rage Mode though the luminous bacteria on its body reacts to it by reflecting the light.

Ceadeus hide is remarkably solid and its very hard. Its fur is hard to forge.

Ceadeus has a special relationship with an algae, which is the reason why it has its beard. It farms for the algae with its beard and uses the glow from the luminous bacteria as a form of photosynthesis. With this algae, Ceadeus can spend longer times underwater without having to come up for air. When it needs air, it will swim up with a burst of speed and jump out of the water for a breath like in its first intro. Its estimated a Ceadeus can hold its breath for about several months.

The Ceadeus has been known in legends in a few different areas but the Guild didn't consider them as confirmation of the monster(They might as well make a book of every legendary monster, just so if it turns out real they can write about it later).

The Ceadeus that caused the earthquakes in Moga was trying to wear down its horn.

Ceadeus will face of against a threat by biting them and using its body as a weapon. If that fails, it will inhale and breath large amounts of water.

Goldbeard Ceadeus was only just a legend like the Ceadeus and was thought to never have existed.

Its color is said to be caused by the luminous bacteria, making Goldbeard glow a gold color. From it being extremely bright, its said that it lives in deeper waters. Its eyes are covered by its huge horns now.

Goldbeard Ceadeus is a lot more aggressive than a normal Ceadeus and its possibly caused from it not being able to see so well.

Their population is smaller than the Ceadeus population though its said they are the same species.

Goldbeards are said to never have to come up for air do to them getting larger amounts of algae.

A Ceadeus Tail symbolizes peace.

Crooked Horns on Ceadeus suggest they are very old monsters and can be found through out history Crooked Hardhorns have extraordinary power and could be older than time.

Goldbeard Fur is are more like spines than fur.
