The Megucae homurae is a the perfect hunter. Keen senses, sharp intellect, and a fatal bite make this creature a force to be reckoned with. As a solitary predator, it has a largely asocial temperament, which may go as far as to inviting hostilities with other members of genus Megucae, but most particularly with other Megucae homurae. The exception to this, however, is the Megucae madocae, with which the Megucae homurae shares a fascinating symbiosis.
All extant species of all-female genus Megucae frequently cross-reproduce, but the Megucae homurae is unique in that it will exclusively mate with a single Megucae madocae for life. This occurs due to the Megucae madocae secreting a unique pheromone specifically to attract Megucae homurae, which disarms the Megucae homurae, allowing the Megucae madocae to conduct courtship. After this occurs, the Megucae homurae will become extremely protective of its mate. It maintains its solitary hunting habits to provide food for the couple, however, the Megucae madocae will frequently tag along to aid in the hunt of its own will.
A unusual exception is the newly discovered subspecies. Meducae homurae diabolus, which has some degree of immunity over the Meducae madocae's pheromones. While it still exhibits protective behavior, it will never engage to mate, instead only watching from afar, deliberately concealing itself. Such behavior is not well understood.
