This creature's appearance is currently bugged. The regions that glow orange in this image will appear black with no textures in the game. We've reported this issue but we don't know when it'll be fixed.
Level scaling: Most NPCs will scale with the Hunter's level, within the constraints of their level range. Hunters can tame regular NPCs up to 2 levels higher than them, but can only tame elite NPCs of the hunter's level or below.
