Volvidon

Volvidon is a Fanged Beast introduced in the 2010 video game called Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. Volvidon is a medium-sized monster, slightly larger than an Aptonoth. It is covered in a series of red armor plates, which are segmented around the midsection and allow the Volvidon to curl into a ball. It possesses an extremely long, chameleon-like tongue which is covered in sticky saliva. It will typically avoid trouble, but if cornered, Volvidon can be surprisingly aggressive. It is an insectivore which uses its long, sticky tongue to feed on Neopterons. Volvidon is found in the Sandy Plains and the Volcano. However, though originally thought to only inhabit areas of extreme heat, it has more recently been seen in the Deserted Island as well.

Powers and Abilities
It is capable of spitting out a paralyzing liquid and inflicts Soilingusing a foul odor. Being a Fanged Beast, the Volvidon uses attacks similar to those of Arzuros and Lagombi. It is known to pull prey and foes toward its mouth using its long tongue. In addition to aiding transportation, its ability to roll up into a ball allows it to crush foes during combat.
