| - Found in the most dangerous regions of the desert, the Chemichelonian is a force to be reckoned with. Belonging to the Pseudowyvern class of monsters, this wyvern shares similarities in body shape with Ukanlos, Akantor, and Odeibaterasou, although it is much smaller; about the size of a Barioth, and somewhat flattened, like a pancake tortoise. Its turtle-like, purple, wingless body, is dominated by a wide, flattened shell. This shell rises up on an angle, and bears a pinkish membrane, connecting it to a cannon-like nodule atop its back. This appendage evolved from the same body part that gave rise to Odeibaterasou's sand cannon. A head, like a spined Matamata, can be extended on a long neck, to grab at passing prey, which includes whatever is within reach. The Chemichelonian is essentially blind, as its small eyes are nearly useless, relying mostly on smell to detect its surroundings.The Chemichelonian's entire body is in effect, one giant chemistry beaker. It burrows deep underground, ingesting various mineral and crystal deposits, that are stored internally. These deposits encrust much of the monster's back, manifesting themselves as crystalline, salt-like mounds. The bulk of these minerals, are stored within the monsters shell cannon, where they are broken down, and placed in breakable fluid sacs. When the Chemichelonian is in danger, a combination of these sacs are broken at once, whereupon they are mixed within the cannon, and fired as a devastating blast. While typically peaceful, as a result of their heightened position within the food chain, Chemichelonians are quick to enrage, rapidly changing from lethargic predators, to rampaging behemoths, blanketing the landscape in a variety of caustic concoctions.
