    Something you didn't mention but is important is that Rajang's heart and nerves are somehow tied to its control/usage of its gold Thunder Element. Perhaps the heart and nerves act as conduits through which the electricity is channeled through its body to increase its range of abilities and strength.
    Also, there's something to consider about the fact that all base unpowered Rajang will suddenly become flush with energy upon consuming a Kirin's horn.

    • @007accessb4
      @007accessb4 4 роки тому +19

      the heart is actually responsible for allowing rajang to enter its rampage state where in he flush more blood into its arms to make them harder and give rajang a massive boost in its physical strength, while its nerves on the other-hand contrary to the video is actually were rajang store's its electrical power going by what the item descriptions says "The source of a Rajang's power, which continues its mystic pulsing after death." which make sense given that you can knock rajang out of its rage mode by attacking/damaging its tail which is linked to its central nervous system

    • @Artwolf007
      @Artwolf007 4 роки тому +16

      I think his theory still works. Rajang find and eat the kirin horn, which releases energy that is stored in the fur and sent throughout the body via the heart. It doesnt do this often to prevent overload, just enough to replenish stores when they get too low.
      The heart probably allows for a special kind of blood that can carry greater electrical impulses than most animals though.

      @@obsidironpumicia4074 In truth, should we consider that an Axon, and other neural structures of Rajang's neurons are similar to those of our world, it's more likely that the trick may lay in their myelin sheaths. Myelin sheaths are structures made to insulate the Axon of a neuron (The wire attached to the cell body). Going off the assumption that the myelin of a Rajang contain different minerals and possibly more complex structures attached to it, it's not impossible to assume that, should the Axon be connected to the cells of Rajang's follicles, the myelin sheaths could safety conduct electricity through Rajang's Neuronsystem.

    Body meant to fight, martial arts-ish way of combat, capacity to generate and manipulate energy (lightning), the ability to become more powerful by fighting stronger opponents, a second phase with yellow/golden fur, and the use of its tail as a means of a weak point and trigger to a more dangerous 3rd phase that comes with its own 4th phase dubbed “The Thunderous Wukong”.

      Black dragons in general are known to be signal of Catastrophe, beings with such immense power and boiling viciousness that are threats to whole civilizations if left on it's own, so immensely devastating and rare that most of what is known is what is told from legends, as most of the encounters with such kind of Dragons tend to leave no witnesses, rare are the registers of them inside the guild, and tales of destruction and awry terror are most of the times the only thing in such documents. The Black Dragons that are known as of today have as their most known representatives, Fatalis, Dire Moralis and Alatreon. If you are intent on fighting such beasts, be prepared, or you will certainly meet an unspeakable end...

    Hypothesis: Anjanath is the first elder dragon and divergence point between Brute Wyverns and Elder Dragons.
    Evidence:
    Most proper Elder Dragons (Teostra/Lunastra, Kushala Daora, Fatalis, Alatreon, Safijiiva, etc.) have 6 limbs. 4 legs, two wings. I hypothesize that the hidden membranes that Anjanath pops out when angry evolved into wings in later species that adapted to other environments. The prominence and shape of these growths suggest that over time they could have evolved into wings.
    As for the Brute Wyverns, Anjanath has features that suggest it is a less evolved Brute Wyvern. Anjanath is clearly modeled off of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, who was the last of the Tyrannosaurid line. As with most large predatory dinosaurs, the bigger they got, the smaller their arms became. This is true of Allosaurids, Giganotosaurs, and Tyrannosaurs. Also, the largest species of these families always evolved later. I would go so far as to say that Deviljhoi is a direct ancestor of Anjanath. The reason Anjanath hasn't evolved more is because it lacks a need to. Life does not necessarily evolve if there is no ecological pressure to do so. The Ancient Forest has relatively little ecological pressure, with bountiful food and a temperate climate, therefore meaning that Anjanath hasn't evolved outside of that region.
    Tell me what you think.

    • @Onc3Holy
      @Onc3Holy 4 роки тому +1

      @Dragon with Internet connection On Anjanath, yes. But they could have later evolved into wings.

    • @GunlessSnake
      @GunlessSnake 4 роки тому +5

      I dunno, I always figured Brute Wyverns were closer to Bird Wyverns (specifically raptorial ones) more than any others. Like, perhaps some raptorial Bird Wyverns split off and started growing much larger in size and more reptilian in nature. It's already really neat how raptorial Bird Wyverns actually evolved AFTER the bird-like ones.

    • @Onc3Holy
      @Onc3Holy 4 роки тому +1

      @UC75HEnaAU9DBtAoTATCftpg I disagree. Anjanath's sails do not appear to be adapted ribs, as they lay above the rib connection point to the spine. Furthermore, there are large, limb-like structures at the front of the sails that provide the primary structure of the sails, and are in just the right location to eventually form wings. (I just checked reference photos to make sure., and they are especially visible in concept art.)

    @davyjones3755 Рік тому

    I feel like the horns and golden glowing stripes are more used for showing off to mates,the brighter the glow and larger the horns,the better show of it's strength, that's why the adults are the ones who hunt Kirin,the younger ones have no need for display,the electric powers being more of a positive side effect,my best geuss is that tje ancient ancestors of rajang hunted down a Kirin purely for food,but when one ate the horn,he eas enbowed with to them, god like powers,so the species started to partake in Kirin horns more frequently,making the equine elder dragon near extinct,thus leading to rajang becoming more rare
