Crimson Qurupeco

Qurupeco Subspecies Discussion

A subspecies of Qurupeco that dwells in subtropical zones such as the Volcano and the Flooded Forest. Unlike the normal variety, this subspecies is red and blue in color, like an Crimson. The flints are unique to this subspecies. Instead of generating an explosion of fire, the flints spark together to create a large shock of electricity, capable of inflicting Thunderblight. This may be possible by using its unique wing talons and electrically conductive mucus. It is also capable of creating a bright flash, like Gypceros, to temporarily blind the hunter. Unlike the normal Qurupeco, this subspecies has a roar capable of deafening hunters and can use its mucus attack in midair. It also can perform a short-range aerial tackle. This Qurupeco Subspecies appears with the Black Tigrex in a recent screenshot. Its vocal sac is not clearly visible under normal conditions; however, it is apparent when the Qurupeco is performing a vocal. Like the original Qurupeco, this monster can give an attack or defense boost to the monsters around it.
