@@VeganAncientDragonKnight Yeah I should have specified that it doesn't exactly match the three other versions of the theme in base World. It takes inspiration from each one for sure though. Wish it incorporated the chanting from Tremor.
"Name: Kulve Taroth Title: Glorious Dragon Average Length: 4573.25cm Average Height: 1219.32cm Foot Measurements: 321cm Order: Elder Dragon Suborder: Glorious Dragon Family: Kulve Taroth Habitat: Caverns of El Dorado" "Forty years ago, the First Fleet reported an Elder Dragon that disappeared suddenly before they could investigate it. Recently, from Zorah Magdaros's and Xeno'jiiva's activities during the latest Elder Crossing, this Elder Dragon became active once again." "Kulve Taroth appears every so often to the surface and must be hunted quickly before she disappears into the depths of the earth once again. The commission is currently sending in hunters to break her horns so that researchers can thoroughly study them." "Although Kulve Taroth is often considered to be a female, the commission isn't truly sure what the difference between a male and female Kulve Taroth is, meaning the one they're currently studying might not be the gender they think. Many are certain that she is indeed a female." "Kulve Taroth primarily lives deep underground in her nest, rarely ever surfacing from her lair if at all. When active, Kulve Taroth is known to wander around the Caverns of El Dorado, a network of tunnels she created herself, and her tracks have been found in the Ancient Forest." "The Caverns of El Dorado are a peculiar network of caverns shaped and influenced both by the Everstream and the minerals that Kulve Taroth has collected over the years." "Kulve Taroth's nesting ground is within the deepest region of the caverns, from which tremendous geothermal energies emanate from. Various species of endemic life can be found within the Caverns of El Dorado with Kulve Taroth at the center of the ecosystem." "She created those caverns to collect metals from the earth, and other species were influenced by this unique environment as well. Gold Scalebats, for example, evolved gold scales to mimic the minerals found there." "Other endemic life like Gold Helmcrabs and Copper Calappas feed on the organic matter left behind by Kulve Taroth. The Research Commission even found a new species in the Caverns of El Dorado called the Tsuchinoko." "The Gold Tribe, a Gajalaka tribe, lives there as well. These Gajalaka use Kulve Taroth's gold to make high-quality weapons and garments for themselves." "Due to primarily living underground, Kulve Taroth's kind didn't evolve wings. Rather than flying, she uses her thick, muscular limbs to travel through the caverns she calls home. Her legs project outwards, allowing her to move fast despite her size." "Kulve Taroth is called the Glorious Dragon because of the metallic coat that adorns her whole body. She makes this coat by gathering various metals, melting them with her high body temperature, and letting them cool on her body." "Although Kulve Taroth is often seen wearing gold, others of her kind have apparently been reported wearing different metals for unknown reasons. Kulve Taroth likely wears metals on her body to protect herself from the intense heat in deeper parts of the region." "Inside of her chest are organs used for regulating her body temperature. Her body will rapidly heat up when she is enraged, reaching well above 1400°, causing the metal on her body to soften and melt. When angered, Kulve Taroth will become more active and aggressive." "Her chest often glows from the heat the organs are generating. To help maintain her body temperature as she fights, Kulve Taroth will start breathing powerful heat waves from her mouth that can easily cook a hunter alive." "Kulve Taroth is relatively calm until she loses most of the gold that adorns her. It's theorized that Kulve Taroth hates not being covered in gold because she is more vulnerable and ugly while naked." "Once her metallic coat is gone, she'll become aggressive, doing anything within her power to kill her assailants. She'll even let enemies enter her nest so she can use the terrain to her advantage in combat." "The most mysterious part about Kulve Taroth is her spiralhorns. Like other Elder Dragons, it's believed that Kulve Taroth's horns are key to her abilities. A Third Fleet scholar speculates that they produce powerful magnetism that attracts metals and minerals to her body." "She has been confirmed using them to dig, but she likely has more uses for them." "The Arch-tempered one, a golden white Kulve Taroth, is believed to be a new form relating to the destruction of the monster's previous gold plating and shows wild, aggressive behavior identical to other Arch-tempered monsters." "Arch-tempered Kulve Taroth is more aggressive than her normal counterpart, and she even has a new state that embodies her immense rage that she'll enter upon losing much of her metallic coat. In this "Furied State," Arch-tempered Kulve Taroth will enter a constant state of rage." "The Caverns of El Dorado doesn't have an exact location since one of those "could" appear just about anywhere in the New World as long as a Kulve Taroth is around. If an area is big enough to support a Kulve Taroth, then there is a chance it could be made into another El Dorado." "The First Fleet first sighted a Kulve Taroth near the Wildspire Waste, while the Fifth Fleet came in contact with a Kulve Taroth deep within the Elder's Recess. The commission might've encountered two different individuals, but it's hard to say for sure." "If Kulve Taroth leaves a Caverns of El Dorado, the area will wither away and die since a Kulve Taroth isn't around to maintain the area's delicate ecosystem." "Sources 1.
