The Alpha Nydak is a rare, larger and stronger subspecies of Nydak than the Lesser Nydak. They too have grey skin covered in spikes, with two large tusks on either side of their mouth and massive claws on the ends of their hands. Alpha Nydaks have hardened bones and resistant hide, making it impossible to sever their arms. Nydaks are carnivorous and highly aggressive, easily able to traverse terrain using their powerful arms. Alpha Nydaks typically dominated Lesser Nydaks.
Alpha Nydak is wild, and its behavior cannot be modified to accept the presence of humanoids. It cannot be trained to abandon its wild instincts and will generally continue to do whatever it wants. As creature handling goes up, a character can better predict what this creature will do and empathize and understand it despite being unable to tame it. With proficiency (+3) a member could manage to successfully own and cage this creature but not safely interact with it and influence its behavior, with a better understanding and ability to manage this Alpha Nydak coming with mastery (+5).
