Copper Blangonga

The Copper Blangonga is a subspecies of Blangonga which thrives in the desert zone. It has a brown coat of fur instead of the normal white coat; instead of throwing ice blocks in the air, it hurls giant rocks across the ground and instead of using an ice breath attack it uses a sand breath attack which will instantly put hunters or Felyne Comrades in the knocked-out state. The Copper Blangonga is slightly different in appearance from normal Blangongas - its face is much less compact and houses a larger set of canines.



Trivia

 * Different from Blangonga, this species of Blangonga requires a weapon that has the Ice element for hunters to break its fangs, whereas a normal Blangonga needs Fire. Also like Blangonga, breaking its fangs causes its roar to become ineffective to hunters without Earplugs.
 * The Copper Blangonga trades its straight forward lunge attack for a rock throw attack that can cause serious damage. The rock can also bounce in another direction if players are far enough away from it when the rock is thrown.
 * The Copper Blangonga has three variants of the rock throw move. For the first it will jump high in the air and toss a rock straight down without any bounce, second it will jump a short distance forward and toss a rock a long distance that will bounce at some point. Finally, the Blangonga could perform a very small leap and send shards of a rock in different directions, which can hit players who are caught off guard.
 * Whenever Copper Blangonga hops backwards, his next attack will always be a rock throw of some kind.
 * Another useful tip is that when it gets knocked down via arm/legs, it will stay down longer than a normal Blangonga.
 * It's good to have weapons with at least White Sharpness; the Copper Blangonga's fur is tough and his hind legs penetrable only with Purple Sharpness.
 * If you sneak up on copper Blangonga it will drop a shiny
