Things you may not know about the Daimyo Hermitaur and the Plum Daimyo Hermitaur(Info comes from MHFU, MHP2G, wikiwiki.jp, atwiki.jp)

Firstly, Daimyos prefer areas with abundant water sources and wide open sands.

They are omnivores and will feed on plants, insects, smaller animals etc. that are in the sand.

They use their claws to dig up food

When they are young, they wear clams and other shellfish on their backs but as they get older they ear monster skulls, those in particular belonging to the Blos Wyvern family. The reason for this is because the Blo's skull is good to flick sand and rock while digging and, can be used as a weapon while fighting.

Despite their size, they are pretty quick on their feet.

Pearls form in the skull, do to body fluids and sand after long periods of time.

The claws of a Daimyo are very thick.

Daimyos claws become its enemy when it guards itself/covers itself. The reason why is because it can't see while guarding itself and, it makes it easier for monsters to grab it/roar at it shocking it and making it lose its balance. From this it makes it vulnerable to attacks.

The HC Daimyo seem to be a mutation of sorts of the Daimyo(I still picture it as an Daimyo though).

The Plum Daimyo is just a variant of the normal one. It changes to a Plum due to its unsual feeding habits that discolor it.

The Plum Daimyo is a lot more aggressive than a normal Daimyo, the most likely reason why is because of its color.

Its armor is described sometimes to be both weaker and stronger than a normal Daimyo's, in some cases.

Despite its color, it still has a strong fire and heat resistance but its extremely sensitive to the cold(Maybe from its diet or its armor).
