Barroth

The Barroth is a newly introduced monster appearing in Monster Hunter 3 and is a part of the new class Brute Wyvern. It is often seen rolling in dirt and mud, possibly to cool off in the hot desert sun. When it awakens from its subterranean slumber it will shake off all of the excess mud and dirt that gathers on its back, and if a hunter is close enough to it the excess earth that flies off will become attached to the hunter and will quickly dry under the desert heat, causing the new status effect called "Muddy", which slows down the hunters movements considerably. When hit, players also experience waterblight, but stamina is not lost for sprinting. After the Barroth has shaken off most of its mud, it will roll around in muddy water to collect more.

Barroth frequently charges down pillars where Altaroth make their nests and then feeds on the ants that dwell within. It also regains stamina from eating at small mounds.

Both tail and head pillars can be cut off and then carved which leaves the Barroth little mud to use. Players can also knock the mud off of its tail and arms, which usually drops a shiny.
