Things you may not know about Tetsukabura

Firstly, Tetsukaburas have afew things in common with frogs while also having afew things different from frogs but it seems to have alot more in common with frogs.

Its ecology is just like Frogs(I wonder if there are tadpole Tetsukaburas).

They have powerful legs built for powerful leaps and lunges and, also to reach high up places.

They mostly live on land but are confirmed to be the only Amphibian Species to ambush prey from water.

They use their bottom jaw and its fangs(Not its huge tusk)to dig through the earth and do it at fast speeds. This is also their main way to travel.

Tetsukaburas will attack and eat almost anything that moves and, they have huge appetites and can be quite aggressive while hungry.

Tetsukaburas chew their prey and crash rocks with their jaws.

They use their tusk as weapons against any threats or prey.

Tetsukaburas prefer smaller prey because they can easily slow it whole without worrying about other large monsters. While eating larger prey, they put themselves at risk.

They use the huge rocks and boulders as defense against predators and also as weapons against predators.

Tetsukabura uses its mucus to slow down or capture fast-moving prey and it seems it may also use it for flying prey.

When it spine retracts, its tail inflates, possibly for extra balance while doing certain attacks and when it picks up huge boulders or rocks.

Tetsukaburas main enviroment is the Underground Caves but they rarely appear in the Frozen Sea. Also, for any people wondering how it may survive in the Frozen Sea, it produces a strange oil around itself that holds heat, which Zaboazagiru and the Sukuagiru also have.
