Ruby and Weiss instantly perked up at the name. "Lunagaron? We heard about that one during the Malzeno video, right?!" Ruby asked excitedly.
"Right! That was the ice wolf, correct?" Weiss asked, sounding quite eager. Winter also perked up at this as well.
"The very same, yes." Katana confirmed.
And almost immediately after, the room was assaulted by the shrill cry of "EEEEEEEEEEEE!" from the girls, almost everyone forced to cover their ears as the Faunus were put into a daze from an audio sensory overload. And Winter was even resisting the urge to join them, but just BARELY managed to maintain her composure, despite trembling in excitement.
"This is gonna be so awesome! Go, go, go!" Ruby exclaimed, clapping her hands rapidly like an excited child. Despite briefly being deafened by them, the group couldn't help but chuckle at the two girls.
Sai was sleeping on the ground in Seliana as the sounds of wolf howls could be heard in the background. "So, Sai, are you aware that there have been several noise complaints about howling coming from your lodgings? And that you shouldn't fall asleep when talking to the HR team?" A dark-skinned woman asked him as she glared down at him.
"Who snores like that?" Ilia asked.
"Enough people to make it a meme." Tekko told her.
"I'm more concerned he thinks it's acceptable to fall asleep in front of HR." Glynda said.
"To be fair, maybe he's not getting enough sleep when dealing with these monsters. Especially since we know the Commander doesn't give him the proper time to recover." Summer admitted, her tone souring when it came to the Commander.
The host groggily woke and got to his feet as he heard her voice. "Oh, yes! Sorry, ma'am. I just got a new Husky and he's not used to the new place yet, so he gets a bit stir crazy. I'm trying my best to calm him down, but... Well, I think you've heard the results." The Dual Blades-User explained his situation, letting out a tired yawn.
"A husky? But they don't howl like that. It honestly sounds more like someone screaming in the most ridiculous way possible. That sounds like an actual wolf." Winter said suspiciously.
"And Lunagaron is a wolf..." Weiss said, equally suspicious.
The cast now began putting two and two together. "He's secretly keeping a Lunagaron, isn't he?" Cinder asked.
"Uh, no. An actual wolf. Still crazy, but not THAT crazy." Razara said.
Ironwood sighed at this. "I'm not even surprised anymore when it comes to the antics of your family." He said stoically.
"Oh, now you KNOW those words are gonna come back and bite you, Jimmy." Qrow laughed.
"Most definitely." Katana giggled as well.
"Still, even if they are a more difficult breed, Huskies MORE than make up for it by being some of the most beautiful dogs you can find." Winter explained.
"Agreed." Weiss concurred with her sister.
"Yeah, they're super cool! I can't be 100% certain, but I'm almost 90% sure Zwei is part Husky, because he's so adorable!" Ruby said, hugging her pupper.
The HR woman let out a noise of understanding at this. "Ah, I see. Yes, those can certainly be a challenging breed. Especially all of their howling. You would swear they sound like wolves." She agreed, shivering a little at the sound of another howl.
"WAY too much like wolves for my comfort." Velvet agreed nervously, cuddling close to Coco.
"ALL dogs are too close to wolves for my comfort." Blake groaned, pulling Ilia and Emerald in close to her.
"You two REALLY need to get over this trauma." Coco told them, Emerald and Ilia nodding in agreement.
"Seriously, even ACTUAL animals can be trained to ignore their instincts. So surely you two, with human sentience, can do that." Emerald agreed, causing the two Faunus girls to groan.
The Sapphire Star chuckled a bit at this. "Still wouldn't be the craziest pet someone on the Commission had. I still can't believe that one monster biologist wanted me to get him an ODOGARON for a new dog." Sai scoffed, shaking his head at the absurdity.
"WHAT!?" The group all asked in disbelief.
"Someone BESIDES the Blades was crazy enough to try that?!" Jaune asked in disbelief.
"Yep. Our Chief Ecologist lost his dog, unfortunately, so his bright idea was to ask Uncle Sai to capture an Odogaron to be his NEW dog." Razara explained.
"I'm starting to think EVERYONE on this Commission is insane." Roman said.
"Well, they'd rather fight Elder Dragons as big as a mountain or powerful enough to freeze continents instead of moving back to the Old World, so... probably." Tekko admitted.
The HR woman perked up a bit as if she remembered something. "Oh, speaking of Odogaron- and wolves- there's a new monster we would like you to talk about." She informed him, before everything went black.
Reggie was seen studying his books as always. "Myths and legends. While many are quick to dismiss them as nothing more than fairy tales, or stories to trick children into behaving, many of them are born from truths. Or, at least what is perceived to be the truth, or a way to explain something people couldn't understand. Such as the belief of bigfoot likely being people believing a giant ape like Gigantopithecus is still alive, or something like the giant, mythical thunderbird likely only being a large Condor." Sai explained as a woman in leather clothes was stood before a large, bipedal ape, then riding on a massive vulture.
"Such fascinating myths you have in your world. Quite impressive creatures those are." Ozpin said, admiring the two creatures.
"Indeed. I wouldn't mind seeing more of your mythical creatures like those." Adam agreed.
"Because you want to fight them, I'm guessing?" Katana asked.
"Why else?" The Bull Faunus asked, to which the hostesses, as well as the majority of the cast, all facepalmed.
Malzeno was then shown to be perched on the ruins of the citadel. "And monsters often fit this bill as well, such as many people believing Malzeno to be a vampire for both its appearance and the fact both it and its... companions drink the blood of their prey for power and sustenance. But it is far from the only monster that seems straight out of a fairy tale. Because if you want a real-life werewolf, look no further than Lunagaron." The host declared as an icy blue wolf-like monster was seen howling at the moon.
Ruby huffed at Sai's comment on Malzeno. "It's not a myth! Malzeno IS a vampire!" She insisted.
"Well, Ruby, I'm pretty sure those... TERRIBLE leeches do most of the blood-sucking." Pyrrha reasoned with her, although she shivered at having to talk about the Qurio.
"Stop crushing my dreams!" She whined.
The group then finally saw Lunagaron in all its glory, Ruby and Weiss letting out another (although more tamed) squeal and Winter's eyes practically having stars in them. Yang whistled upon seeing the creature. "Man, that is one sleek-looking monster." She admitted.
"Indeed. It's quite intimidating, but also beautiful. It's blue scales fit perfectly in this frozen environment." Ren agreed.
"I just wanna see how it compares to a real werewolf!" Nora exclaimed.
And as they watched it howl to the moon, Zwei raised his head and howled right along with it. Now ALL of the girls (minus Blake, of course) couldn't help but squee in delight. "That's the cutest thing I've ever seen!" They all cried out together.
"Oh, good job, Zwei! That's the most fierce howl I've ever heard!" Ruby gushed while petting the corgi, causing a visible smirk to appear on his face.
"Oh, please..." Blake sighed, rolling her eyes.
A young male hunter was seen circling the creature. "A striking, yet intimidating sight, Lunagaron obviously looks like a giant wolf. However, rather than thick the long, coarse fur of a wolf, Lunagaron is covered in smooth, sleek cobalt scales... So it's probably hypoallergenic!" The Sapphire Star exclaimed as the hunter focused on the creatures scales.
The three dog-lovers stared in awe at the creature. "He's so beautiful." Ruby said, amazed.
"Indeed. So streamlined with a few intricate ridges on its body. Absolutely majestic." Winter agreed in awe.
"And its scales are absolutely beautiful. So sleek and smooth and such wonderful colors that blend so well together." Weiss cooed.
"A bit hypocritical of you, isn't it? You said A BIRD with scales was unsettling, but a canine with scales is an exception?" Hazel asked.
"Of course. Dogs are ALWAYS the exception." Weiss confirmed, many rolling their eyes at this.
"Still, it is a MARVELLOUS sight. I have to agree, Winter, its different shades of blue are beautiful." Summer said, everyone nodding in agreement... Except Blake, of course.
"Y-yeah, it looks pretty fierce. But fierce in a good way, like the fashionable way." Velvet admitted, at least TRYING to fight her natural fear of wolves.
"And I'd say the ridges and the dark blue colors make it look PRETTY badass." Qrow said, the other thrillseekers, plus Neo and Coco, nodding in agreement.
However, a record scratch sounded as Reggie interrupted. "Actually, Sai, people aren't only allergic to dogs because of fur and dander. Even hairless breeds produce allergens. People can also be allergic to proteins found in the dog's body fluids, like saliva, urine and blood." The Wyverian scholar informed while never looking up from his book. (Many of the cast let out an "Eww!", but said nothing.)
Sai was understandably a bit disturbed with this information. "Why... thank you, Reggie, I totally needed to have my joke ruined in favor of some disgusting information like that, thank you very much." The dual blades-user said awkwardly, before walking away from the scholar.
"Yeah, I'm with Sai. I could've been PERFECTLY happy not hearing that." Neo agreed.
"See, Penny? THS is how we all feel when you share too much animal info." Yang told her.
Penny looked a bit bashful at this. "Understood. I shall adjust my parameters accordingly." Penny assured her.
The Lunagaron's features were focused on again. "Anyway... Other than these scales, scales, Lunagaron also has a nice pop of color in the icy blue ridges along several parts of its body, mostly its back, shoulders, hips and most noticeably, its tail, the ridges making said tail form into three points in a triangular shape. And, if one were to look closely, they would also notice a cyan glow in the gaps between its scales, stemming from an opening in their scales on the chest, more on that later. But, most notably of all, it has some vicious-looking red claws on its paws, serrated much like their cousin, the ODOgaron. But something a bit more important to note is their paws are structured almost like human hands, with four claws as fingers and another as a semi-opposable thumb. Meaning, this WOLF actually has more fingers than a WYVERIAN." Sai exclaimed as the features were focused on, before showing a young Wyverian woman sitting on a bench, showing she indeed only had four fingers on her hand.
"I know we already said it, but that cyan blue light looks really cool against the darker cobalt scales. And it almost looks like energy running through a machines circuits." Jaune said, amazed.
"Surely there must be a reason for it. Now I'm curious what it is." Pyrrha wondered.
"I'm wondering why those ridges turned its tail into a triangle." Roman said.
"With a big surface area like that, It'd probably act as a pretty good paddle, so maybe it's for swimming? A lot of arctic predators are capable of going into the water to try to quickly grab prey." Emerald theorized.
"It has five fingers, so it basically has hands? Well, I'm STARTING to get A BIT of likeness to werewolves." Ilia admitted.
"That IS crazy, though, that it has more fingers than Wyverians. So, they only have four fingers? That must make it annoying to find gloves." Coco noted.
Cyra was observing the monster in the frozen reaches of the Citadel. "So, as one can likely tell from looking at it, Lunagaron is an icy monster most commonly found in the frozen peaks of the Citadel, while also enjoying trips to the Frost Island. However, you would be gravely mistaken if you believed that was the only place you could find them. Due to a specialized organ in their chest, dubbed the Lunagaron Bluecore, they are able to freeze the air they inhale, offering themselves SUPREME thermoregulation, allowing them to handle a wide range of locales, from the more temperate forests of the Shrine Ruins, to even the tropical reaches of the Terosu Jungle." The host informed as a Lunagaron slowly stalked towards Cyra, Fiorayne and a ninja-esque Hunter.
"So, it can adapt to just about any climate, just like Tigrex. That means no kingdom is safe from these creatures." Ironwood said in concern.
"That could be a concern, true enough, but I find it more fascinating than anything. It's truly amazing how adaptation and evolution can make animals suited for such a wide range of locations." Ozpin admitted.
"Indeed. If only Huskies and other cold region breeds had such an adaptation for the fools who take these kinds of dogs to places like Vacuo or other warmer climates." Glynda said, slightly angered as she remembered stories of these cold weather dogs being brought to hotter regions by their owners, only to perish from heat stroke. [1]
The icy Fanged Wyvern then looked to the sky as the clouds parted to reveal the moon. "And while many of you have likely heard wolves howl at the moon, that's a myth, they just tilt their heads up so the sound travels further. Lunagaron, however, DO have a strange fascination with the lunar body and will sprint up whole cliffs to bask in the moonlight and howl to the moon." The Sapphire Star noted as the wolf-like creature ran up a large, icy spire to stand in the light of the moon, howling up to the lunar body.
Then the immature cast gasp and wine when Sai reveals the theme of wolves howling at the moon is only a MYTH!? Like he just ruined common knowledge for them. Which makes Ruby cry "Everything I know is a LIE!?"
"WHAT?!" The less mature of the cast cried out upon Sai dropping the truth bomb of wolves howling at the moon.
"Wolves howling at the moons is a myth!? I went my whole life thinking that was common knowledge!" Yang exclaimed.
"No! It's not true! He's tricking us! I refuse to believe it!" Nora cried out in refusal.
"Everything I know is a lie!" Ruby cried.
"But I wonder, what COULD their obsession with the moon be? What is the purpose?" Ren wondered.
"Well, moonlight is simply reflected sunlight, so it has all the same benefits, such as Vitamin D nitric oxide which is know to help regulate blood flow and reduce blood pressure." Penny informed.
"Okay, THAT was actually helpful information. That's progress." Yang admitted.
Several illustrations of Lunagaron were then shown. "As for their behavior, it is believed that Lunagarons mate for life, or at the very least, raise their litter of pups together, as the pups are born altricial and need much care from their parents. They are known to carry their pups by the large ridge on their back in place of the loose skin on the nape of the neck. One parent stays behind to take care of the pups while the other one goes out foraging and hunting. But it's also important to remember, these are reptilian Wyverns, not mammalian Fanged Beasts, so they do not lactate, so the pups are already born with teeth and eat meat from the very beginning. But, in order to strengthen the pups' teeth and jaw muscles, the parents are known to freeze the kill, forcing the pups to work to tear into the flesh and get their portions, making the teeth and jaws stronger for when they need to hunt on their own. And it helps with their motivation and aggression associated with food." Sai explained as the pups struggled to bite into the meal their parent had just frozen for them.
All of the girls couldn't help but gasp at the Lunagaron pups. "THEY'RE ADORABLE!" They all cried out, cooing over them.
"I never thought a lizard dog could be this cute... But it is! Even when I was evil, I would've stopped being evil for them!" Cinder gushed about the little lizard puppies.
"They're such adorable future death machines! Look at him going to town on that frozen meat!" Neo cooed as well.
"I must have one of these in my life." Ruby and the Schnee sisters all said together, having daydreams about having their own Lunagaron pups, Ruby imagining herself being smothered in kisses by the puppy and Zwei, Weiss envisioning herself training it to win just about every dog show on Remnant, but being sure to give it plenty of loving and cuddles and Winter seeing the lizard puppy as her steadfast and loyal companion, running military drills and training together, while also sleeping and snuggling together at night.
Cyra was now in combat with the wintery wolf. "And on the topic of their aggression, Lunagaron are natural born hunters and see everything as either prey or competition and will fight both things with equal ferocity. They are fearsome, determined hunters willing to try and bring down prey as large as their fellow member of the Three Lords, Garangolm, the second largest of all Fanged Beasts, only behind Gammoth herself. And it will face any competition head-on with no hesitation, taking on the much bulkier Fanged Wyvern, Zinogre and the final member of the Three Lords, Malzeno. I mean, it gets thrown around like a rag doll, but it does manage to do significant damage by freaking SUPLEXING the Scarlet Fever, who I may remind you is capable of fighting and defeat Gaismagorm, who is more than twice its size. So Lunagaron is definitely NOT to be underestimated." The Sapphire Star warned as the Moonlight Nocturne was seen in combat against the three aforementioned monsters.
"And there's Garangolm! Oh, I hope we get to see him next!" Ruby said excitedly.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool-looking. Not to mention HUGE!" Jaune agreed.
But the cast couldn't help but jump a bit as they saw the two Lords fighting. "Holy crap! This is getting vicious!" Ilia exclaimed.
"Well, props to Lunagaron for fighting- and winning against- something so much bigger than itself." Adam said, impressed.
"Bigger target, not as fast and more peaceful, so it's not fighting nearly as much as Lunagaron. All of that leads to a pretty rough loss." Razara explained.
But NO ONE was expecting Lunagaron to SUPLEX Malzeno. "No way! These guys know wrestling moves?! That's awesome!" Yang exclaimed.
"Heck yeah! Do a power bomb next!" Nora cried out.
"Definitely wouldn't mind seeing what other moves they've got up their sleeves." Qrow said.
"Now I'm wondering what their fights with other Lunagaron look like? I wouldn't mind a front row seat." Hazel Agreed.
Again, the Fierce Flame of Kamura was shown fighting the Fanged Wyvern. "So, what happens when that aggression is turned towards you? Well, it's the fastest of the Three Lords- if you don't count Malzeno's teleportation- and it can run you down and barrel into you at high speeds, as well as swing its head and sweep a wave of snow and ice at you. And, as one might expect from a literal wolf, it can bite, pounce and claw at you. And it's incredibly agile, adding some 360 spins and even some backflips to its biting attacks. And, as I've mentioned about a dozen times by now, Lunagaron is a very icy monster, because it can use the ice element, performing huge, arcing jumps over its prey while breathing several large chunks of ice to rain down on said prey, release bursts of frigid air as it runs or let loose a cloud of freezing vapors as it howls to chill anyone that gets too close." Sai explained as the ravenous wolf repeatedly attacked the bow-wielding Huntress.
"Yeah, that's about what I'd expect from a wolf monster." Summer admitted.
"Still cool it's so fast, though!" Ruby exclaimed.
"It's agility and range of motion are quite impressive, however. That could make it difficult to pin down." Pyrrha noted.
"Though, I must admit, all of those ice attacks are quite clever. Ice chunks that big could easily crush someone without proper armor or aura, which would include smaller Grimm. And, of course, freezing someone with icy vapor in such a manor is a great way to slow someone down, if not stop them altogether." Weiss pointed out, admiring the creature's use of her favorite element.
The Lunagaron was now repeatedly howling and unleashing frosty vapor. "But now, I'm sure you are all curious as to why I referred to Lunagaron as a werewolf. I mean, so far it's just seemed like a normal wolf, except for the fact it has scales and breathes ice, right? Well, that's where you'd be wrong. Because if Lunagaron starts struggling with the fight and gets upset, it will do something extraordinary by turning off its thermoregulation, causing its muscles to heat up and swell as its front limbs turn red like its claws and it will stand on two legs, forming a coat of ice armor to defend itself from attacks, as well as coating its claws in ice to make them larger and deadlier, perfectly combining an impenetrable defense with ferocious offense. And even its roars change, starting as a majestic wolf-like howl and turning into the fearsome roar of a dragon, with just the hint of a howl at the end." The dual-blades warned as the beast rose onto its hind legs, a layer of ice coating it to make it look nearly twice its original size.
Many couldn't help but jump at the minor transformation. "Whoa! Talk about a glow up! It almost looks like a whole new monster!" Coco said in awe.
"That's quite impressive it is able to remain on its hind legs for so long. Especially with all the extra weight that ice must add." Penny noted.
Blake and Ilia were quick to hide behind the couch once the beast entered this berserker form. "It was already bad enough! Did it really have to get more powerful AND vicious?!" Blake cried out as she and Ilia cowered from the beast.
"Y-yeah... It's definitely cool, but... DEFINITELY scary." Velvet agreed fearfully.
"Are you kidding!? That so cool! Now it really DOES look like a werewolf!" Ruby exclaimed, before gasping. "And that means that Malzeno pretty much IS a vampire! And Garangolm sort of looks like Drakenstein's monster!" She realized.
And the Moonlight Nocturne's attacks were almost completely different. "And with a new stance comes new attacks. It now employs more rapid claw slashes with its front legs, now more like actual arms with a much greater range of motion, it can sweep its hind legs backwards to kick anyone on its side or behind it, plant its hands down on the ground and drag forward with its claws, tearing up the ground in a path towards its target, sometimes with the inclusion of ice, depending on the terrain or if its claws are encased in ice. However, don't think that doesn't mean it can't rely on old favorites from its quadruped state, such as charging forward on all fours, big pounce attacks-now with an icy explosion tacked on- or leaping over you and raining down ice chunks. And speaking of ice, it can also now breath a huge cloud of frost vapor in a line straight in front of it at great distances. And, SOMEHOW, they gain a knowledge of martial arts, performing a devastating Spear Hand attack, especially when its claws are coated in ice." Sai warned again as Cyra endured the attacks.
The more rational of the cast were shocked at the creature's new skillset. "Every time we believe we've seen it all... This happens." Ozpin said in awe.
"Those are... actual martial arts moves. Unbelievable..." Glynda said in shock.
"I can confirm, that is a PERFECTLY executed spearhand. Ordinarily, you would only aim that at the softest, most vulnerable areas of the body, like the throat, but I don't think it really matters when you use it on a target a TENTH of your size, especially while your claws are coated in ice to make them impossibly sharp." Ren stated, struggling to process the fact A WOLF was performing these moves almost as well as he could.
Meanwhile, Ruby was SO excited that she starts vibrating to the point she looks like she's about to blast off or have a seizure. "That's AMAZING! Even Monsters can learn martial arts! That's so cool! Could you imagine if we taught them martial arts here on Remnant!? They could be better than Huntsmen and Huntress teams!" Ruby squealed, passing out from excess excitement.
"We REALLY need a way to make sure she can't reach THIS level of excitement." Cinder groaned, reviving Ruby with some smelling salts.
The icy Fanged Wyvern repeatedly tried to smash the Huntress under its paw. "And that knowledge includes a number of grapples, from simply slamming its hand down on you, to a pincer attack that will slam you between both paws. Or, it's most horrifying attack of all, where it knocks you down with a paw slam, before grabbing you and holding you in both hands and... Well, see for yourself." The host began, before stopping with a shudder at the end.
A hunter was then knocked down by the Moonlight Nocturne. "No, no, no, no, no, no!" The hunter exclaimed as he was picked up by the beast. "Wait, wait, wait, wait..." The hunter pleaded as the beast raised him to its mouth."WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!" The hunter tried to plead frantically as the beast roared and reared its head back, before thrusting its open mouth forward towards the hunter, everything going black with a sickening squish.
Seeing its move of holding a hunter in place to bite their heads off nearly makes Velvet faint from fright at the mental image.
Everyone looked on in dread as the monster apparently bit the hunter's head off. "Dear Brothers..." Pyrrha said in horror.
"I know they are quite literally monsters... But I wasn't prepared AT ALL for such brutality." Penny said, equally horrified.
Meanwhile, Velvet was sat stiff as a board. "Bit... Head... Off..." She said, utterly terrified as she imagined herself in the hunter's place, getting her head taken off by the creature's jaws.
She almost fell back and feinted, but Coco thankfully caught her. "Whoa, there! Easy, Bun-Bun. I'm sure it's almost over and we'll be hearing about how to fight them, so we'll known how to keep you safe." The fashionista assured her girlfriend, holding her close.
The grapple was shown again on another hunter, but this one luckily survived and was thrown to the ground. "Yeah, he straight up bites your head off... Or, at least tries to, if you've got strong enough armor, there's a good chance it won't be able to bite through, but still he definitely TRIES to bite your head off. That's a bad boy! We don't bite people's heads off!" The host scolded the beast as it actually drooped down a bit as if it were an actual pet dog being scolded.
Ruby, Weiss and Winter all let out a most horrified and offended gasp, looking at Sai as if he just kicked a puppy. "How COULD you?! You take that BACK!" Ruby insisted.
"You CRETIN! He is NOT a bad boy! He is a GOOD boy! The best boy! The GREATEST BOY!" Weiss ranted.
"Katana! I demand you bring that bastard brother of yours here at once! So that he can be properly punished for such discrimination!" Winter demanded.
"Okay, all of you, chill! I'm doing no such thing for a few reasons. One, you're all over reacting. Two, I know you three love dogs, but this is still an aggressive monster that can pose a threat to people, so if it attacks villagers then it is a 'bad dog'. And three, none of you are doing anything to my brother, or make any attempts to kill him… that's MY job!" Katana warned them.
Everyone was silent for a few moments from fear of the hostess' dire warning, before... "That's fair." Yang and Qrow said cheekily.
Cyra was now firing a number of arrows into the Moonlight Nocturne. "So, how should you handle a Lunagaron, so you don't get YOUR head bitten off? Well, as you might have guessed, they are weak to Fire, with Thunder also being decently effective and Dragon being... at least useful, while- as one might expect- ice and water are completely ineffective. Fireblight is also a great way to get in some decent lasting damage and blast is also a great way to stun him and chip through his ice armor. Speaking of the armor, if you can manage to completely break through it, the huge shift in weight will knock it down to the ground and force it to turn its thermoregulation back on, reverting it to its quadrupedal form. You can also break the claws on both front legs, its tail and break its head twice. Also, Lunagaron has very limited defense against aerial attacks, so gunners on the high ground Insect Glaive-users, this is your time to shine!" The Sapphire Star declared as his daughter managed to topple the beast.
"Fire. Should've been obvious at this point." Hazel said.
"Well, there are a FEW ice monsters that aren't weakest to fire. Legiana being one of them." Adam reminded.
"And I'm always game for when it's time for explosives." Roman chuckled.
"I'm just glad there's a way to make it turn off two-legged mode." Neo said in relief.
"Yeah. That way we can avoid getting our heads bitten off." Velvet agreed, equally relieved.
"So, air attacks are where it's at, huh? Good news for you and me, pipsqueak." Qrow said to Ruby, who giggled and nodded.
The male and female Lunagaron armor, dual blades and bow were all shown. "And the Lunagaron armor is incredible, very stylish and futuristic-looking. Almost gives off the vibe of an anime hero like Kamen Rider or something, plus both versions have a cute little built-in ponytail. And, of course, the weapons are equally amazing: sleek, yet rigid and intimidating, with the dual blades basically being like wearing a set of Lunagaron's claws. And even the Palico and Palamute armor is incredible, with the Palico armor looking very snug and warm for cold weather and the Palamute armor making it look like you've got a robot dog following you around, which is just awesome." Sai praised the Moonlight Nocturne's equipment as the two animal companions' armor sets were shown.
The cast immediately ADORED the armor, for both genders of hunter AND the companions. "That armor is AMAZING! So sleek! But it's also got cool ridges! And it also looks like it's covered in ice a bit AND has the cool cyan glow of power running through it like Lunagaron itself. It's PERFECT!" Coco said in awe.
"Plus, I like the helmet and visor on the male version. It gives serious techno superhero vibes." Jaune added, amazed.
"Not to mention, it looks so sharp that even brushing against it would cut you. If that's not good defense, I don't know what is!" Yang said, marvelling at the armor.
"I like the little ponytail." Ruby giggled.
"Yeah. Cute but also sharp, you could probably use it to jab someone running up behind you!" Neo suggested, Nora nodding excitedly in agreement.
And then they saw the weapons. "Ooh, I like the form of the bow. It has ridges, but it doesn't look like it'd make it awkward to wield. And it looks strong enough to just beat the monsters with." Cinder said appreciatively.
"And those dual blades are awesome! I always thought if I didn't go for punching gauntlets, I'd go for claws! I might actually have to get those and add cuts to my attacks! I'd by like daggers on my fingers!" Yang said excitedly.
But then, all the girls squeed and cooed over the companion armor. "The Palico armor looks so fluffy and soft and adorable!" Weiss gushed.
"And the Palamute armor is awesome! Ice cyborg dog for the win! I want a smaller set for Zwei!" Ruby exclaimed.
Lunagaron was observed from a distance once more. "And with that, we have reached the end of what we know about Lunagaron. I with I could say more about it, but it's a relatively new monster, only discovered outside the kingdom very recently and even within the kingdom, it's been largely an enigma for quite some time. I know many are off-put by the more aggressive monsters, but they DO have a place in nature, keeping their prey in check by handling the larger, stronger monsters other predators aren't as bold or capable of handling- much like real world wolves being one of the only capable predators of moose and bison, as well giving other predators competition to ensure they don't go out of control as well. Plus, while I've never seen or heard of a Rider with a Lunagaron, or even an Odogaron, they are so much similar to real life wolves, some even ponder if they're capable of being domesticated. After all, even our modern dogs were once wild wolves." The host finished as Cyra captured the beast, allowing it to rest peacefully.
"They can be domesticated?!" Ruby asked hopefully.
"It doesn't sound definitive, but I really hope so!" Weiss said, equally hopeful.
"Only one way to get definitive proof. We'll have to do a test run. And I am MORE than willing to volunteer to get these answers!" Winter declared eagerly.
The more rational of the cast grew quite concerned at this. "They're going to try and snatch a Lunagaron pup any chance they get, aren't they?" Summer sighed.
"We're going to have to keep an eye on them." Emerald said.
"At all times." Ironwood agreed.
"Yeah. They can NEVER be allowed to have one. Especially Ruby or Weiss." Blake added.
"Because YOU'LL have to deal with it, I'm guessing?" Cinder asked.
"Obviously." Blake said.
"So, what did you think?" Katana asked.
"It was incredible! It's scales are so beautiful! And it's so streamlined, yet muscular and ridged! It's so majestic!" Winter exclaimed.
"And it's ice attacks were absolutely amazing! All the different ways it uses them makes it so versatile and unpredictable! The Grimm would never see it coming!" Weiss added excitedly.
"And I love how it has a werewolf mode! It looks so scary, but so cool standing on two legs! And it even knows wrestling moves and martial arts! Everything about it is so awesome!" Ruby said in amazement.
Ruby then rushed up to Katana, but Weiss rushed up to the hostess quicker than Ruby. "So, Katana, we're getting them in Remnant, right!? Sure they may be a little aggressive, but nothing we can't handle, right?!" She asked hopefully, with her hands clasped together pleadingly.
"I'm not so sure that would be a good idea. As a wintery monster, they'd mostly end up in Atlas territory." Ironwood began, before Winter gave him a hard, cold, almost murderous glare.
"And that would be PERFECTLY FINE. Don't you think so, JAMES?" Winter asked in a tone that made the tin man's blood run cold, shutting him up.
Qrow could help but laugh at this. "Ha! That was amazing! Jimmy, are you sure YOU'RE the one in charge here? Because right now, it looks like SHE'S the general and you're just a private!" The former drunk cackled.
"I think they're pretty cool. I was loving the ice armor and how its arms turn red when it's enraged." Yang noted.
"And I was quite impressed with it's willingness for fight opponents much bigger or stronger than itself. And do a pretty decent job, too." Hazel said.
"Not to mention, if the ice armor wasn't impressive enough, it's smart enough to improve it's already deadly claws with ice. That's quite the ingenious strategy." Adam added.
"I still think its berserker state is a little scary, plus I'm still dealing with my prey instinct against wolves, but it's still really majestic and beautiful. I wouldn't mind seeing one... From a safe distance." Velvet admitted.
Ruby and Weiss then clasped their hands together pleadingly before Katana once again. "So, Katana... Would we be able to have our own Lunagaron puppies, please?" Weiss pleaded.
"Yeah! Pretty please with chocolate chip cookies on top?!" Ruby added.
Winter also stepped up closely to the ice demoness. "I would also quite appreciate a Lunagaron pup... To test if they can, in fact be domesticated, of course." She said, trying to remain professional as possible, despite trembling with eagerness.
"Sorry, girls. Lunagaron will be coming to Remnant, but if you want Lunagaron puppies, you'll have to raid a nest and get the eggs yourself. I'm not just gonna peel some poor, already born puppies from their mama." Katana refused.
"Awww..." Ruby and Weiss both groaned in disappointment together.
"DAMMIT!" Winter snapped.
"A-anyway, what will we be seeing next?" Pyrrha asked, hoping to prevent Winter from going into an angry rage.
"Well, you've already seen TWO of the Three Lords, so I think it's finally time you get a good look at Garangolm to complete the collection." Katana declared, starting the next video.
A/N: Wow, I can't believe I've finally caught up with all of the lore makers. Even Sai hasn't finished the Garangolm script yet. So, it's gonna be a while before the next chapter, unfortunately.
