A small, blue Carapaceon known as the Ceanataur, it is a younger version of the much larger Shogun Ceanataur. They live mainly in Volcanoes. Their extremely sharp claws allow them to tunnel through the volcanic rock in their habitats. The shell on their back was actually grown by the crab itself, only when they grow much larger, into a Shogun Ceanataur, will they replace it with a Gravios skull. Although they are actually young Shogun Ceanataurs, they appear simply as a re-colored Hermitaur with sharper claws and leg stubs and a higher-edge shell.
Once they spot a hunter, they will quickly charge and strike the player, causing only a minor amount of damage. After receiving several blows, they will fall to the ground, stunned. If they are attacked at this moment, they will die instantly, however, if they are allowed to recover, they will continue to attack as normal. They may also spit a small ball of purple fluid at an enemy, poisoning them. Sometimes, a Ceanataur may wait beneath the ground for prey or a hunter to pass, jumping out of ground and striking them when they walk over. A Ceanataur that's burrowed underground can be spotted by the puffs of dust that it regularly spits out.
