Monoblos



Monoblos is a large hard-shelled wyvern that has the ability to dig and travel underground. Monoblos were named for the strong horn protruding from their head, which is held as a prize by many hunters. They have a brown, rock-hard texture to their shell, which weakens the durability of weapons as they clash. Monoblos have only been spotted in desert regions. They can only be fought offline in Monster Hunter.

Their horn and tail can be cut off, with the tail allowing two carves. The most sensitive spot on a Monoblos' body is their tail stub. If not in rage, when they dig underground, a sonic bomb can be used to produce an effect similar to "pit trapping." When a Blos charges into a wall or ledge, their horn causes them to get stuck in it, giving the hunter/s a chance to get free hits. This is called "ledging."

A Monoblos was famously said to kill the wife of the legendary "Village Elder" of Kokoto, causing him to retire on the spot.

Monoblos shares a close evolutionary lineage with the Diablos.

Monoblos has a subspecies named the White Monoblos.
