Akantor

The Akantor is one of the most powerful monsters encountered in Monster Hunter Freedom 2. It has powerful claws, three layers of 3 heavy spikes, a clawed tail & its trademark tusks. Often, Akantor is hunted for Bow & Armor parts.

It is the "final boss" of Monster Hunter Freedom 2 after it is unlocked after completing the High Rank Shen Gaoren urgent quest. Literally, its Japanese title is "Supreme Monster", referring to its tremendous strength that it uses to deliver huge blows which may leave villages damaged or hunters injured.

Akantor's Appearance
Like the Tigrex, Akantor is of a similar build, although its wings have completely evolved into arms, preventing it from flying. It shares many of the same aspects of the Tigrex in both appearance and in battle, although due to its immense size its attacks are much slower. However, even though it is slow, it's so big you may not be able to escape its charge, you need to time it right, or you need a shield. Akantor, according to the game, is an unclassified species, however, due to the many similer traits of his cousin the Tigrex, many assume that it too is a pseudo-wyvern and has been classified as such.

Trivia

 * Akantor's thick plating is apparently strong enough to resist the Gravios' lava blast. This enables Akantor to kill the Gravios in the video "Akantor Ecology."
 * Throwing a Sonic Bomb into Akantor's mouth before it uses its wind blast will stun the monster, and might drop an item.
 * Throwing flash bombs at Akantor will only stun the creature for 3 to 4 seconds, much shorter than flash bombs stun most monsters. This is an easy way to avoid Akantor's charge, but serves little other purpose.
 * Akantor's name is likely based on its Japanese name, Akamutorumu because in comparison, Akantor forms into a name by taking Akamutorumu with an "n" being the addition to the name
 * Although Akantor looks very strong it can be easily killed in 20 minutes or less, and even with a low dragon element weapon, just aim for the legs and evade the tail attack and body slam.
