Things To Know About Some Of The Juveniles and Some Of The Adults

Gobul

Firstly, Gobul has lungs so it breaths air.

They are quite strange compared to other Leviathans.

Their whiskers are similar to airweeds and the bubbles found around the Flooded Forest is from them. From the whiskers looking similar, many plant eaters mistake them for food before getting eaten.

They don't have claws on their fins.

Gobul will eat prey by swallowing it whole and will suck up water without really when eating/swallowing prey.

Their teeth aren't built for chewing but for grabbing and holding prey while swallowing it whole.

It's been suggested that the Gobul's stomach is about as large as a single Epioth.

Their favorite prey is large juicy frogs.

The lantern has the luminous bacteria inside of it, causing the glow like Ceadeus. It uses this to stun prey or as a defense against predators. With older Gobuls, their flash can even stun deep-sea fish.

The barbs on Gobul have neurotoxins and is obtained by eating certain prey.

When enraged, they will suck in large amounts of air/water to make themselves bigger and to defend themselves.

They haven't been seen much in the sea but there has been sightings of then in near Moga. There has been a report of a female Gobul spawning in the sea though no proof to this. Adult Gobuls have been found and said to only be in the deepest part of the sea but their breeding behavior is a mystery.

Many hunters love eating Gobuls, especially the liver!

The giant Gobul is a rare sight but has only been encountered in the Flooded Forest. This Gobul is confirmed to not be an adult.

Interestingly, a boy in Moga was said to have caught a Gobul.

Gobul has no scales but it's skin is slimy.

Zinogre

Firstly, Zinogres like the taste of Bird Wyvern meat and prefer to hunt for small Bird Wyverns.

They were considered to be a rare monster until Amatsumagatsuchi kicked them off their mountain in MHP3, causing them to become common around Yukumo and dangerous.

Zinogres raise their young in herds for protection from predators and by working together. The young have more hair on their bodies compared to adults, this protects the juvenile's shell and speeds up the storage of electricity. This fur will shed as the juvenile matures into adulthood.

The Zinogre's in Siki Country are believed to be a subspecies of the Zinogres in Moga's Region though more research is needed to support this.

Their hair helps them charge up electricity and store it. Their shell stores lightning like Lagiacrus but in their legs and holds larger amounts the Thunder Element. The hair and shell on the young are underdeveloped so they can't do this yet.

The legs of Zinogre are large and strong because they them to in order to climb steep mountains.

With a single hit from the claws of Zinogre, it will kill in a single powerful blow.

When it uses the Thunder Bugs to charge, it will charge and use electricity beyond its normal limit. When it has gotten enough, is spike will erect and release the energy from its body. Its power is on par with Lagiacrus and it discharges a lot from its body.

While Fully Charged, its strength and speed increase and, from parts of its body now being open, its now weaker to attacks.

The reason why Thunderbugs gather around Zinogre is for protection against Gargwa and their relationship is mutual.

Stygian Zinogre is a variant of Zinogre and isn't its own species.

They are very similar to the normal ones except their black-red in color. Their color is said to be from the Dragon Element.

Its unknown why those Dragon Bugs gather around Stygian but is said to be a similar reason to Zinogre's.

The Dragon Bugs keep Stygian warm and cool in areas.

Some Stygians in the Volcano are much stronger than the ones in the Tundra due to higher populations of the Dragon Bugs in the area and from being older but, during certain seasons their just like the ones in the Tundra.

They seem to have lost their natural Thunder Resistance over time after using different bugs.

The Stygians true environment is unknown at this time due to them being wanderers.

Rathalos

Firstly, the Rathalo is called the Fire Wyvern, King of the Skies, and occasionally the King of the Flying Wyverns from them being such a high risk monster.

When raising young, the Rathalos patrols his territory from the sky. While patrolling, he is looking for any threats to attack and eliminate from the his territory. To attack enemies and prey, he will usually strike quickly from the sky like a hawk and sink his claws in their body, poisoning them. If that fails, he will use his powerful fireballs.

He is able to produce his powerful fiery breath by multiple organs, flame sacs. While spitting fireballs, he actually burns his own throat while doing so but its throat is specialized to recover from the fire very quickly and some Rathalos have found other ways to use their fire like with powerful bites combined with the flames.

The Rathalos' eyesight is very good and it can see pretty far.

Rathalos is one of the most common Flying Wyverns in the MH World. Part of the reason is because Rathalos will fly to far away areas during breeding season in order to find a mate. Some of the areas they are occasionally seen in is areas they shouldn't/wouldn't be living like in villages and towns. His main habitat is Volcanic Areas but they can pretty much be found anywhere as long as their is plenty of places to fly and plentiful food. Some go to the Heavenly Mountains during certain seasons.

Rathalos is the most well-known monster in the MH World.

Rathalos is mainly hunted for his popularity among hunters, villagers, the Guild and kids along with how long lasting they are. They can even be seen as a Symbol of Nature.

The Azure Rathalos is a genetic mutation of the Rathalos and is less common than the normal one.

He can mostly be found in highland/forested areas/ones with both along with some of the same areas as the normal Rathalos. He prefers those areas because it fits with its color better, allowing it to hunt better.

His fighting skills are more advanced most likely from his color or possibly part of his genetics.

The Silver Rathalos is an extremely rare genetic mutation of the Rathalos.

He can be found mainly in the Towers along with unexplored parts of Fonron though they will leave the Towers to hunt in other areas such as the Old Swamp and Misty Peaks(I say they also hunt in the Great Forest).

Just like Azure Rathalos, his fighting skills are more advanced most likely from his color or possibly part of his genetics. His power is actually close to those of Elder Dragons.

Silver Rathalos seems to prefer living in areas not to warm from his hide being able to absorb heat very quickly.

The Rath's talons from older Los' wings are able to rend boulders like paper.

Rath's marrow ignites on air contact. The Silver Rathalos and the Gold Rathian produce a liquid much more powerful than the marrow that it even glows faintly in the dark.

Silver Rathalos parts actually glow even in pure darkness like the shell and scales.

All three HC Rathalos seem to be old individuals with advanced firepower and fighting skills.

There are two Subspecies of Rathalos, the Old World Rathalos(MH1-MHFU) and the New World Rathalos(MH3-MH4). Its believed that the Rathalos in Barubare could be a 3rd Subspecies of them.

Rathian

Firstly, the Rathian is the Female Fire Wyvern, Queen of the Land, and occasionally Queen of the Flying Wyvern.

The Rathian is said to usually have the stronger fire power compared to the Rathalos.

Some Rathians that are hunted in Low Rank are actually immature Rathians that novice hunters fight.

They use their spike on their chin to feed their young(Though this isn't shown in the ecology). Her role is to take care of and protect the young while the Rathalos guards the territory from threats in the sky. Young Raths have somewhat of a developed digestive system and teeth allowing them to eat meat(Milk was mistranslation by me in the past so sorry).

Like Rathalos, she is one of the most well-known monsters in the MH World.

Similar to the Rathalos, she will go to all sorts of areas during breeding season to find a mate.

The legs of the Rathians in Moga and Barubare are said to be different.

Some Rathians can actually be better flyers than Rathalos but its rare.

Rathian meat and eggs are very profitable items and a good a lot of people like to eat.

The Pink Rathian is a genetic mutation of the Rathian.

In some legend, the Pink Rathian was to have kept watch of a young girl, which suggested that they could be quite calm but Pink Rathians are a lot more aggressive than the normal Rathians.

She prefers the same areas as the Azure Rathalos but is able to survive in the same areas as the normal Rathian.

Pink Rathians are a lot more skilled with their tails, agility, and strength. They are even better flyers and one was even said to have attacked a ship.

Gold Rathians are rare genetic mutations of the Rathian.

She can be found mainly in the Towers along with unexplored parts of Fonron though they will leave the Towers to hunt in other areas such as the Old Swamp and Misty Peaks(I say they also hunt in the Great Forest).

Just like Pink Rathian, her fighting skills are more advanced most likely from his color or possibly part of his genetics. Her power is actually close to those of Elder Dragons.

Gold Rathian seems to prefer living in areas not to warm from her hide being able to absorb heat very quickly.

All three of the HC Rathians, seem to be old individuals.

Like Rathalos, there is the Old World Rathians and New Rathians(Possibly also Barubare Rathians).

Rathian Shards are thick Rathian Scales that are large in size showing that they are old in age.

The thorns on her back also contain poison(*Looks at MH4).

Gold Rathian scales when reflected off sunlight give her an almost sacred glow. Gold Rathian thorns are able pierce through anything(*Looks at MH4 again).

Duramboros

Firstly, Duramboros get the title Hammer Tail Wyvern from obviously their tail.

When Duramboros are sleeping or just lying down, they can easily be mistaken for a large mound or hill.

Trees are Duramaboros' staple diet along with fallen trees. They use their tail to knock down trees and is the reason why they evolved this tail, to knock down huge trees. Most fallen trees found in areas are actually caused by Duramboros. They also use their tail for defense against threats and will use their tail in more ways to help them fight threats such as that spin and to fly towards threats. The only downside to this is that after doing some of those attacks, they become highly vulnerable to a counter attack from threats.

As the Dumramboros grow, the new tail shell moves outward and pushes the old away.

Duramboros are very territorial to a point where if anything carelessly approaches them, they will attack and possibly even kill that creature without warning. Its actually a lot more aggressive than most other predatory Brute Wyverns.

Its shell is incomparably thick and cannot be damaged by ordinary monsters. On its shell are moss and mushrooms which grow on it. Its theorized that they use this to retain moisture and warmth but the moss actually serves as a shock absorber for older Duramboros. The mushrooms and moss are also said to serve as food if they aren't able to find any food.

Their humps store nutrients and fat in their humps, which they can burn a lot of when enraged so they can move faster and attack more violently.

Duramboros' horns are wider than a man's chest. These horns are used to intimidate and to charge at threats.

Duramboros are oviparous so they lay eggs. Female Duramboros live in herds and guard the nests from predators. Male Duramboros live alone and while young, males live alone not to far away from the herd as they grow up. Interestingly, most of the Duramboros we hunt are almost always males.

During the winter, Duramboros dig underground to hibernate and use their humps to survive through it. Its said during the fall, Duramboros are pretty much eating as much as they can to survive the winter, including some man-made objects made of wood.

The mushrooms and humps from Duramboros are a delicacy to hunters though the Guild rarely get request to hunt them for that reason.

Due to constant pounding its tailbone has worn into a spherical shape.

Rust Duramboros are a Subspecies of Duramboros and the largest known Brute Wyverns.

Rust Duramaboros are a lot more aggressive than typical Duramboros and can even take on Diablos in heat, including Black Diablos.

Sand and ore doesn't completely change its color to its arid look, a lot of it also comes from the blood of monsters that attacked it and ended up dying from it. So yeah, Rust Duramboros is basically covered in the blood of monsters that attempted to hunt or kill it but failed to before being killed by Rust Duramboros. They will even kill some harmless herbivores.

The copper-stained moss on Rust Duramboros can weaken an opponent's attacks.

Its Axe-like Tail is used to knock sand at threats and is more so a weapon instead of a tool.

Pokaradon

Firstly, in their species there are more female Pokaras than there are male Pokaras plus only one Pokaradon rules the harem. Also, all Pokaradons are males so we could call a Pokaradon he/him/etc..

A Pokara's and Pokaradon's tusks are used to mainly help them fish and to feed on crabs along with other crustaceans. These tusks can also be used as weapons to fight off threats.

One of the roles of a female Pokara is to catch prey for the harem. Another role they have is to protect the young from threats. The young can mainly be seen playing and basking in the sun of Polar Sea. The young have been seen to have fur, which is used to keep them warm and for camouflage but when in danger they will jump into the water.

Pokaradons are quite different from the females and his young, when it comes to their appearance, size, behavior, and adaptions are different. His claws and tusks are designed more like weapons, unlike the Pokaras.

Pokaradons can actually be quite calm. They can sometimes be seen playing the young and the females along playing around in the snow. Despite this, they can turn aggressive very quickly and will relentlessly attack foes who harm any of their harem, showing no mercy to that threat! Even to death!

Pokaradon's main role in the harem is to protect the harem and eliminate all threats to the harem such as Giaorugu and Anorupathisu. The Pokaras are mainly targeted due to the fact they are rich with fat.

He fights off threats by breathing water, using his claws, tail, strength, powerful roars, and powerful sound waves by using his claws along with his immense power.

His thick skin is quite thick and actually isn't needed to keep him warm.

His claws are described to be like metal and by clapping his claws together, he can make a powerful sound wave that can stun some foes.

His bones are quite unique and allow it to move in the water and on land.

Some Pokaradons that sacrifice themselves for their harem and will leave behind tears after they die. These tears are frozen ice crystals that never melt.

His tail is used for swimming.

Gogomoa

Firstly, Gogomoa is one of the few known Fanged Beasts to spend most of their life in trees and one of the few known large monsters that live in trees.

Gogomoa do not live in huge troops like some other Fanged Beasts but instead live alone or alone with their young as it grows up. Their young are known as Kokomoa. If the Kokomoa is harmed in anyway and greatly injured, the Gogomoa will become greatly enraged and become very aggressive.

While fighting off a threat, Gogomoa may mistake and knock the Kokomoa off its back. If this happens, the Gogomoa will quickly try to recover the fallen Kokomoa out of harms way and back to the safety of its back. The downside to this is that the Gogomoa might actually lose sight during a battle making it quite vulnerable to attacks from threats. Despite this, if Kokomoas are harmed or injured in battle, they will burrow to another area for protection while their parent fights off the threat. After or during a battle with a threat, Gogomoa will go to the area and retrieve their Kokomoa.

The one unique ability that set Gogomoa apart from their close primate relatives such as Congalala and Rajang is that they are capable of shooting a thick elastic substance resembling that of a spider's from special organs with pore-like holes located in both hands. To make this substance stick to were it chooses, it eats large amounts of sticky plants from its island home and then licks the opening of these unusual thread creating organs. Gogomoa use this ability to travel through the trees of their environment with relative ease. They also use it to hang upside down on trees while sleeping.

By looking at a Gogomoa's Horn, you can tell the age of that Gogomoa.

The claws of Gogomoa can easily cut through the ground.

Gogomoa is the very first monster, hunters hunt in Monster Hunter Frontier G.

The HC Gogomoas is believed to be male Gogomoas, the same goes for the HC Kokomoas.

Some of the Gogomoa's teeth actually may break during battle.

A lot of Gogomoas are killed for their hair which is popular to women.

Khezu

Firstly, Khezu are mostly found living in during cold snowy areas but they will move to warmer areas with caves like the Swamp or Old Jungle during colder months.

Khezu are quite rare to see due to their nature and ecology and, rarely surface from caves.

Khezu has no scales on its body yet its skin is flabby and is covered in a mucus. From this mucus on its hide, its hard to craft equipment using its material.

It has an electric organ used against predators and prey alike.

When it does its electrical field, it uses its tail as support but as they get more experienced with their electrical powers, they will climb less and use their tail less often, unless they need it for stronger electrical attacks. These Khezus are the HC Khezus.

Khezu mostly prefer eating live prey. When they smell prey around, they will move quietly on ceilings/walls in order to ambush their prey. When its close to its prey, it will extend its neck out, grab it, and than swallow it whole.

Its neck is flexible from its skin and body built.

Their salvia is acidic in nature but not as strong as Deviljho's, which melts through armor.

Despite being blind and using smell, they seem to have another way to see prey because in experiments, done by the Guild, the Khezus would actually smell the corpse of a Kelbi/larger herbivore and avoid it but would eat any small animal that was alive with them. Its believed that they may also use their electricity to sense heat in a way but there are other different theories behind this.

Khezu is a hermaphrodite and reproduces asexually. They will ambush some type of monster/animal and inject them into them. The young will feed on the creature alive and hatch out of it when they reach a certain size. They can sometimes be seen living in cracks in caves, ready to ambush prey to suck them dry.

Interestingly, Khezu Whelps are a delicacy but Adult Khezus aren't a delicacy, no matter how you try to cook their meat, though they are used for medical supplies.

Red Khezu is normal while Khezu is a genetic mutation/defect.

Its neck can stretch much farther than the normal one and it has a lot more muscle in its body.

Red Khezu can be found living in the same areas as Khezu but they seem to be better adapted for colder environments unlike Khezu.

Pale Extract is used for many different medicines.

Interestingly when Khezu dies, Thunderbugs will actually feed on its electrical sac.

Red Khezu skin is also soft but is better known for the many colors in its wings.

Some Khezus have been found to have hair on their belly.

Gigginox

Firstly, Gigginox evolved from the same ancestor as Khezu.

During the day, they sleep much longer than most other monsters in the area but at night they become truly active. They will spend sometime awake during the day but if they instantly sense potential prey in the area, they will actively stalk it in the caves, even at day.

Despite their looks, they are quite intelligent compared to some other Flying Wyverns.

Their red underside has many hairs on them sort of like some geckos with their toes.

Just like Khezu, it produces a similar mucus-like substance on its body but this substance isn't really produced while its calm, making it look dry. Its mainly produced when enraged.

If hunters are carrying a torch, the chances of a Gigginox attacking them increases.

Gigginox spits the globs of poison on the ground because if its able to get something to inhale enough of the poisonous gas, it will have a chance to kill it.

When enraged, it combines the toxins with the mucus, giving it a darker appearance.

Gigginox saves food in the caves and, those strange things in Zone 5 of the Tundra are corpses of prey it has taken and saved. Gigginoxs may also leave behind corpses in caves to make it easier to catch prey.

The occasional outbreak of Gigginoxs is sometimes caused by one laying egg sacs like crazy or just by multiple Gigginoxs.

The moment the Giggis are born, they are on their own. Despite hundreds of them being born by one Gigginox only a handful of them will survive. While small, Giggis can produce their own poison but not as effectively as Gigginox. From this they need to feed on the blood of other monsters not just to feed themselves but to also make their own poison. When they make it to a certain size, they will cocoon themselves by using a thread from their mouth to make a cocoon. These cocoons can often be seen in the caves of the Tundra.

The Baleful Gigginox is a genetic mutation of Gigginox. It gets its electrical abilities from its and Khezu's ancestor.

Where their poison organ is suppose to be is now where their electrical organ is at.

Baleful cannot produce Giggis/lay egg sacs full of them.

Unlike Gigginox, who saves prey, Baleful Gigginox actually actively hunt for prey, even outside caves.

The claws/talons of a Gigginox are used for magical properties.

Gigginox has short teeth and fangs much like Khezu, which are used to eat the frozen corpses.

Their poison sac is said to glow with a creepy eerie glow.
