I could use a bit of help with my story. I just need to know how to describe a few monsters. At the moment, the Zinogre.

Well, a Zynogre is quite an intimidating looking monster.

It protudes power with every step that it takes, thanks to its wide bulk and powerfull muscles.
Its body is rippled with razor sharp spikes, that will tear anything within range to pieces.

Its howl eccoes through the night, and will quite possibly be the last thing you hear. Then you see a spark of yellow dance across its body, and the howl intensefies and the already intimidating looking zinogre showers itself and the area around it with electricity.

A large wolf-like creature, with light blue and yellow fur with sharp claws and spikes protruding from his back, along with two large yellow spikes across it's forehead.
It's howl is powerful enough to call upon the forces of thunder. Seeing a Zinogre glow with the faint light blue aura will surely be the last thing any unprepared hunter.

Zinogre is a large Fanged Wyvern, often called the Thunder Wolf Tyrant. With turquoise shell along most of its body and menacing, massive paws covered in yellow scale, this wyvern is only for the elite to hunt. Said paws have large, sharp claws, capable of cleaving through most objects with little issue. Zinogre also has white fur on its back with yellow ridged carapace all the way down to its tail, likely for Thunderbug storage. This fur is also along most of its underbelly. Atop its head are twin ridged horns, capable of goring a human clean through. Despite its size, it is very mobile, capable of acrobatics that put a Kirin to shame.

It can channel the natural electricity from Thunderbugs to fuel its own attacks, and will in fact go into a stance and howl to attract them. Once it has enough, the Zinogre will erupt into a charged state, with the fur sticking up and electricity crackling around its body. In this state, it can use various electrical attacks, including augmenting its already incredible strength with high-voltage blasts of power. One of its most devastating abilities when charged is also its signature move: It rains thunderbolts in all directions, before howling to retain any lost Thunderbugs. It can be knocked out of its charged state, though it can return to its charged state more easily than before.

However: Zinogre has no innate ability to use electricity. In areas with low populations of Thunderbugs, or better yet none at all, Zinogre will be forced to use its own formidable strength in combat. Be warned: Even without Thunderbug assistance, Zinogre is a threat enough to suggest immediate removal from the area.
