User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-5020152-20120609204957/@comment-77.167.204.117-20120612105123

is it possible that the fungus -digestive juices mix forms a shell on contact with air and becomes a fluid again on its arms and horn (due to certain particles in its armor) and that an exothermic reaction starts thanks to the friction from smashing its arm (or horn) on the ground (or an unfortunate hunter). it would explode when the crust gives in to the pressure from the inside or when the conditions for hydrogen explosion are met.

it is kind of an variation on Democide's theory, with as difference that he maybe forgot that no pressure can be build in a liquid. furthermore I think that my theory too explains why he can lick it on his arms but it doesnt drip of or forms a flat puddle when put on the ground
