- "The Repticore is a massive beast with an almost indestructible hide. Their tentacles are quick to strike their victims. They then pull their prey into their massive mouths. Once eaten, a Repticore's victim remains alive for almost a week until they are fully digested."

Repticores are massive, reptilian monsters which are attracted by Salamander goo and eat their victims alive and whole.
History[]
Pre-20th Century[]
It is a wildly-accepted theory in the Troop that Repticores were encountered and tamed by the Egyptian Army during Pharaoh Thutmose III's conquest of Canaan which took place around 1450 BC. There is evidence backing up this theory, such as ancient egyptian engravings which depict Repticores, including a tablet which is currently housed in the Troop Vaults of London.
Troop archaeologists believe the Repticore was once revered as a fallen god, but that most Repticore artifacts were destroyed after a captive Repticore attempted to eat Thutmose.
20th Century[]
Repticores have apparently not appeared since the early 20th century due to a lack of Salamander goo (There Is No "I" in Monster Hunter). However, this is contradicted when Jake states that Lance is awarded for defeating three Repticores. (Tentacle Face)
There Is No "I" in Monster Hunter[]
Salamander goo attracts a Repticore, which (offscreen) eats a dog called Lindsey.
The Repticore then follows the smell of the Salamander goo on a Mr. Cawyer's handkerchief to a market, where it eats him.
Later, Jake uses Salamander goo to lure the Repticore into an ambush, but Jake's arrogance allows the Repticore to easily overpower and eat him.
Hayley and Felix arrive, and Hayley distracts the Repticore for a while, until it grabs her. It is about to eat her when Felix fires a bomb through its mouth and into its stomach. The Repticore releases Hayley, and the bomb inside it detonates, causing it to explode from the inside out.
The Great Punkin[]
A Repticore is among the captive monsters which escape courtesy of a power failure. It is seen answering the Troolis's call. It was presumably recaptured with the other monsters.
Through the Looking Glass[]
A Repticore in the woods
In the Monster World, several monsters, including a Repticore, attack and corner Jake, Hayley and Cadence.
Cadence distracts the monsters long enough for Jake and Hayley to sneak past them to a portal. When the monsters notice, they launch an attack and chase after the three. However, the three escape through the portal, which closes behind them before the monsters can follow them through.
Behaviour[]
Repticores are dangerously attracted by the smell of Salamander goo, and possess a massive appetite.
Biology[]
Appearance[]
Repticores are massive, green, reptilian beast, each with a thick, long tentacle in place of each arm, massive jaws, five tendrils on their chin, and black eyes.
Special Abilities[]
Repticores are very strong, have an almost indestructible hide, and can swallow live victims whole!
Weaknesses[]
Repticores walk slowly and can be destroyed from the inside. Their fearsome attraction to Salamander goo can also easily lure them into ambushes.
Trivia[]
- According to Mr. Stockley, the Repticore incursion in There Is No "I" in Monster Hunter was the first in over a century. However, this is contradicted in Tentacle Face, when Jake stated that Lance Donovan was awarded for defeating three Repticores.
