Vladinx

Appearance
Vladinxes are 4 meter tall, 12 meter long spinosaur like Grimm. They have standard Grimm features such as the skullmask and blood red eyes. As a spinosaur type Grimm, Vladinxes have a row of larger back spines minus the fin like constructs in between. Most specimens lack the same armor as other Grimm.

Special Traits
What makes the Vladinix special and dangerous is it is one of few Grimm capable of launching ranged attacks. The spines running across their backs can be launched off at high velocities and regenerated in minutes. Once the spine impacts a solid surface, it will begin to disintegrate like most Grimm do when killed. Unlike most Grimm, the essence left behind by the spine is highly corrosive. Hunters attempting to engage a Vladnix are highly advised to bring some sort of chemical protection gear. While younger vladnixs tend to fire off their spines randomly, older ones have learned to gauge trajectories and can even shoot down aircraft.

Weakness
The saving grace is that in exchange for the ability to rapidly regenerate their spines, Vladinxes cannot develop any sort of armor on their bodies. Therefore, a lucky shot from even a First year student can cripple a Vladinx. Skilled hunters armed with long range weapons can even pick off Vladinxs from their VTOL.
