User blog:BannedLagiacrus/Discussion of the Week: Monster Mutations

Hello, and welcome to the Discussion of the Week: Monster Mutations! This week we look at some of the MH's Monster Mutations!

Khezu


Remember that on some quests it was said that Khezu was a mutation while its red subspecies was the normal one? Well, it is true, Khezu is in fact the mutation. I have to say what a twist but despite knowing this, Khezu is still an awesome monster in my book and knowing this now is makes me like Khezu even more!

Rath Subspecies and Rare Species




The genetic mutations of the Rathalos and Rathian are all very nice in the 3rd Generation and also some of my favorite mutations period though I like Azure and Pink more. Despite this, they are the most well-known mutations in the whole series.

Black Gravios


Black Gravios is what happens when a Basarios is burnt by lava combined with large amounts of heat. From this heat, it holds a large amount of heat inside its body which is why it shoots its beams more often along with that gas. Black Gravios was a nightmare in MHFU but isn't so terrifying in MH4. Besides that Black Gravios looks really cool!

Plum Daimyo Hermitaur and Terra Shogun Ceanatuar




Oh I love these two crabs, even though their color mutation is from their unusual diet. Anyway, I like Plum Daimyo a lot more due to its set being for Gunlancers but I still like Terra Shogun from its weapons being easy to make and from all of them having very good sharpness.

Emerald Congalala


Most likely one of the best subspecies in MHFU, even though it is a mutation. Its unknown what causes the Emerald’s color but one thing is certain it’s a mutation in MH terms and a good one at that!

Copper Blangonga


How does it get to the Desert? Its got to go through a few areas to even make it there so how does it even get their. All of that aside its a good monster and the best subspecies in MHFU. Copper Blangonga is an awesome and my favorite Fanged Beast in the series.

Tigrex Subspecies


Thats right people, the Tigrex Subspecies is just a variant of Tigrex with special components on its scales that increase the strength of its scales. With these components, this Tigrex is now a black color. I’m trying to figure this out right now but I’m not going to say a word about it yet. Besides that in MH4, the Tigrex Subspecies is awesome hands down!

Baleful Gigginox


Well, I like Khezu so I like the Baleful Gigginox though I find it easier than the normal Gigginox. Anyway, its mutation is a genetic defect.

Purple Ludroth


Nothing to say about this thing except that its mutation is either due to genetics or diet. That’s all I know.

Ivory Lagiacrus


I am a Lagiacrus so I approve of this monster though I have to say one thing, why can’t you spend alittle more time in water? Despite this, its one of my favorite mutations in the series. Besides Ivory, Abyssal deserves a mention since some Abyssals were once actually Ivory Lagaicrus before going through their final stage of life.

Stygian Zinogre


Before huge debates begin, Stygian is only a variant of Zinogre but note that their color is most likely due to the Dragon Element. With that out of the way, Stygian Zinogre is just awesome and I feel I don’t need to explain why!

Kirin Subspecies


The only real noteworthy mutation in 4th Generation so far. This Kirin like Stygian is also a variant. No word thus far about this variant but I’m guessing Ice Berries causes it. Only one thing to say about this thing, “Those Tower Kirins.....”

Basarios Subspecies


Just a reskined version of the G-Rank Basarios from MHF-G but with crystals instead poison bombs! Anyway, its pretty obvious what causes its mutation.

Doragyurosu


Is unknown what causes its mutation but dang, what a mutation!

Rebidiora


How do you make Rukodiora cooler and a lot meaner? Give it lightning and better control over magnetism and, than you have Rebidiora. Just like Rukodiora, I consider it to be unique.

Midogaron


That howl! The mutation of a lone Kamu, looks more like a Kamu that was training with the Flash. This thing is super fast and nearly teleports every time it attacks. I guess losing Nono is hard for them.
