In the arid regions of the Old World, rain is heralded by the arrival of a titanic beast known as Torraltia. A wanderer of steppes and desert, this Titan Wyvern possesses fleshy humps on its back that store water to nurture the titan on its travels. In the rare case a Torraltia is under attack, most commonly by large Brute Wyverns like Glavenus or Deviljho, it will spit the water out at the aggressor. However, as this is a waste of precious ressources, it tends to prefer using its venomous neck spikes and the strong pheromones , that smell of rotting flesh and cheese, secreted by its tail, to deter any threat.
Many desert cultures view Torraltia as a divine figure and, in the case one is successfully hunted or found dead in a good condition, festivities are held as the village gathers around to turn the carcass into food and its bones into beautiful decorations.
Many desert species benefit greatly from the presence of Torraltia, as the burrows they carve into the ground for their nest often fill up with water from rivers and underground sources after they leave, creating small oasises that dot the otherwise dry and deadly wasteland. Such species include the herbivorous Diablos, the piscivorous Qurupeco and Delex and Daimyo Hermitaur, which rely on the water to reproduce.
