Skeljaskrimsli
“ Shelled canine-like unknown species washed on the shore. Their shell is made of keratin, which mimics volcanic rock. However, they are more friendly to Icelanders than another enemy found in Iceland, rather than their own nationality. ”

Skeljaskrimsli (Crustocanis islandica) is the one of the mythical creature introduced in Worldcraft: Trio Origins and Ahtohallan's Recollection. Skeljaskrimsli is the last known pantodont in the world from Svalbard to Iceland.
Etymology
Skeljaskrímsli is the compound word from Icelandic means "shelled monster".
Physical Appearance
Skeljaskrímsli is a mythical species of the last known pantodont. It develops canine teeth, a brownish nose, black skin, peach fur that is furrier than others, hooked brownish gray claws used for digging or climbing, keratin scales made of natural keratin with volcanic ash that are blue in color, blue eyes, and a forked tongue unlike all animals.
Abilities
Skeljaskrimsli possess their own peak abilities and superhuman strength, as well as sulfuric blue fire. Their fur and scales are actually fireproof and waterproof in some cases. Their breath of blue fire is stronger than regular fire but is extinguished by any fire extinguisher. Skeljaskrímsli is a good swimmer in both lava and water. If you never used a fire element, rather use mazuku instead.
Weaknesses
To harm a Skeljaskrimsli, one must resort to alternative ammunition. Shooting silvers, gold, electricity, fulgurites, grey willow catkins, or lamb droppings from the bullets from a gun are the only ways to injure and kill this beast.
Weather Phenomenon
Volcanic Eruption
Skeljaskrimsli breathes the volcanic gas from its mouth to spark their flint-like teeth and make small- to medium-scale eruptions.

Behavior
Skeljaskrímsli is actually a good animal towards natural-born citizens, where Icelanders are under jus soli. But if a non-Icelander, in stereotype, becomes aggressive and jumps to a large amount of mazuku to lead suffocation, if you're not an Icelandic national citizen, The natural enemies of Skeljaskrímsli are the evil whales of the newly migrated Elder Dragon Ahthaolye.

Skeljaskrímsli was located in Iceland as a native species in all locations, including Surtsey.

Lore
Iceland is currently the most peaceful nation in the world, yet Skeljaskrimsli is somewhat obscure in the lore following the Viking times before the Renaissance. Despite being a peaceful nation, a lot of Vikings, including Icelanders, are worried about Skeljaskrimsli because it is the last pantodont that still exists in modern times.
Skeljaskrimsli randomly attacked several homes and various cities; the majority of the casualties were immigrants from Indonesia and the Philippines, as well as Norwegians and Danes in Iceland.
In order to help the UN prevent the extinction of native species, both nations opened honorary consulates in Reykjavik and Makati, Metro Manila, respectively.
Due to the existence of elves in both the Philippines and Iceland, Iceland did not support the war and turmoil surrounding the Skeljaskrimsli. Due to connections with elves, fairies, and angels from the nations' previous names—Nusantara and Ophir—Skeljaskrimsli never accidentally harms either Icelandic fauna or elves, as well as Filipinos or Indonesians.
The United Nations Human Rights Council has called for an impartial body to investigate the killings, while conservationist knights in Iceland have demanded that the statement that Skeljaskrimsli was a natural fauna, forces of nature, and the Emperor of Iceland be made. Some of those are members of the House of Helgason, a medieval royal family of Norwegian descent who may be decedents of Lancelot and Guinevere and are renowned for their ability to quiet the wildlife they previously provoked.
Icelanders are unable to defeat this creature since it is a living fossil and therefore stronger than both dogs and whales combined. As a result of Pagpulbos, or the Ward of the Ancient Beast, certain Filipinos who are from Cebu utilize magic that is formed of snow, volcanic ash, powdered sugar, frosting, carrot powder, blueberries or bilberries, limestone powder, and one of mixed runes.

The thick, reflecting shell coat (or flaky scales) that covers the Skeljaskrimsli's body gives it its name. As the creature moves, these ratchet and scrape against one another, signaling its impending arrival. Its powerful stink also becomes more noticeable as the shell monster approaches. The shell monster is not particularly endearing; even its blood is poisonous due to sulfur and hemoglobin. It is covered in lava or shell bits that clatter against one another as it moves. These little shell monsters often pose no threat, in contrast to the larger ones.
