Jhen Mohran

Jhen Mohran is a huge monster found exclusively online in Monster Hunter 3. It lives only in the Great Desert.

The initial battle is fought from a moving sand ship with the Jhen Mohran swimming beside it; players can damage it by using the ship's weaponry or by attacking it with their own weapons. Ship weapons include the Ballista S, Cannon S, Dragonator, Ballista Binder and the Giant Gong. The Ballista Binder, Dragonator, and Giant Gong can be reusable after a certain time frame. There are infinite cannons and ballistas. A nice skill to have would be High Speed Gathering. It is also possible to jump onto its back to mine for scales and ores, or to attack it's weakpoints. Jhen Mohran's spine contains several cracks/cavities. Enough damage to these weakpoints will break a hole through them. Anti-Dragon Bombs from the supply box can be used anywhere on top of Jhen Mohran's body, with the preferred location being on its large tusk. Anti-Dragon Bombs will detonate automatically. Both tusks can be broken.

The battle will then switch to a land based scenario as Jhen Mohran walks towards the ship. At this point, players can attack its arms to break its shell for extra rewards or continue to fire ballistas from a long range. As it heads towards the ship, it will occasionally hurl rocks at the ballista station. Once it is close enough, Jhen Mohran will use its side sweep or perform a body slam onto the ship. Using the gong before it does this body slam will cause Jhen Mohran to fall to its underside for a lengthy time. Also by doing enough damage, instead of him falling on his side, he will fall upside down. This will enable you to either get 2 carves or do some extra damage in his mouth. But you must be careful because if you are still in his mouth when he goes right side up, you will take alot of damage. During the land battle, the dragonator is relocated to the side of the ship.

Jhen Mohran can either be repelled or killed. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PFKciOqyM8

Jhen Mohran is often seen with Delex; the relationship between the two species is unclear.
