Hapurubokka Discussion



Hapurubokka is a desert Leviathan that will appear in Monster Hunter Freedom 3. They are capable of burrowing into the sand and of disguising themselves as sand dunes to ambush hunters. It shows superficial similarities to Gobul, and may be closely related. It can swim in the sand just like Piscine Wyverns. They are seen preying on Rhenoplos, using their powerful jaws to crush their shells.

It appears that they harbor a weak spot within their mouths that hunters can reach. Attacks demonstrated include sand spewing, charging and a leaping bite.

Recent scans show that it has the ability to use a "Wind Tunnel" attack by means of a specialised organ that expels sand and debris swallowed along with its prey. It may also expel a large sand cloud from the purple and red flaps on the back of its head. When out of stamina, the Hapurubokka will not be able to produce its "Wind Tunnel" attack. Proof



Trivia

 * Hapurubokka bares a strong resemblance to temnospondyl amphibians, especially Siderops.
