Espinas

Espinas is a wyvern that is, for now, exclusive to Monster Hunter Frontier.



Physiology
Espinas is physically similar to a Rathian, but alongside scales their bodies are covered in hot pink spikes and rough green armor plating. A long pink horn are protruding from its front part of the head, similar to Monoblos. Pink thorns also protruding from its body, wings, tail, feet, and head. Espinas have 3 phalanxes. Its body, tail, and feet are bigger and muscular than other flying wyvern. It has 4 pink-colored toes. A reddish orange veins will appear when it is in rage mode, similar to Tigrex.

Abilities
Espinas have the ability to shoot out toxic fireball and most of its attack are including a Poison status when hit to a hunter. Espinas also have the ability to ram very fast, similar to Monoblos when in rage mode, which uses its long horn on its front head. One of its attacks is that it will raise his head and shoot 3 poisonous-paralyzing fireballs around him. Another of its attacks consists of shooting 2 fire balls, one to the left and one to the right, and one more, which is done flying backwards. It is also able to make a huge poisoned-fireball which leaves poison-effect and stamina loss.

Hard Core Espinas is known for its fast combo attacks and speed, One of its move it stands in place for a moment then charges at extreme speed homing in on the target then trips in the end.

Behaviour
Espinas actually is a lazy wyvern. Hunter will fought it on a sleeping state. After throwed or attacked, it will start swing its tail lazily (Although hunter will take a little amount of damage). When waked up, it is still lazy enough and moves really slow, like there was no hunter sighted by itself. When in rage mode, it is incredibly fast and dangerous.

Habitat
Espinas can be fought at Great Forest, although there are information that it can be fought at Tower.
