Barioth

Barioth is a large, saber-toothed pseudowyvern that makes its first appearance in Monster Hunter 3. It's reasonably fast and can attack wildly. It represents a real challenge to even experienced hunters. It loosely resembles a Nargacuga/Tigrex in body shape, and (also like Nargacuga) it has many big cat-like characteristics. It can hover in place much like the Kushala Daora, and it inhabits a similar snowy area called the Tundra.



Facts

 * Its attacks include leaping at the hunter and hitting them with its tail or claws. It can also fire what appears to be a windy blast that forms into a twister.
 * Barioth maintains its grip on the ice with special claws. When broken, the monster loses its ability to stay anchored on the slippery ice, and his movements slow accordingly.
 * His wings, claws and fangs can be broken and his tail can be cut off.
