Akantor

Akantor is one of the most powerful monsters encountered in Monster Hunter Freedom 2. It has powerful forelimbs, thick spikes, a clawed tail and large tusks. It is the "final boss" of Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and is unlocked after completing the High Rank Shen Gaoren urgent quest. Its Japanese title is literally "Supreme Monster".



The Akantor bears a strong resemblance to Tigrex in both appearance and battle, the differences being that Akantor has powerful forelimbs instead of wings, which make it incapable of flight, and its immense size, which dramatically slows down its movements.

According to the game, Akantor is a Flying Wyvern; however, because it shares many traits with the Tigrex, Akantor's a special case of Flying Wyvern. Even so, it could also be considered as a Fanged Wyvern, as its body structure is very similar to that of the Jinouga.

Changes in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd

 * Akantor is back in MHP3rd.
 * It has a new move where it spins its body, attempting to bite what is behind it. This attack can inflict Defense Decrement when Akantor is in Rage mode.
 * It can also follow up its Shovel Uppercut attack by pinning a hunter that has been knocked down by the attack, crushing the hunter and dealing heavy damage over time.
 * Akantor's Wind Beam now sweeps, and deals considerable damage even if blocked.
 * In MHP3rd, when Akantor digs, it does this much faster.
 * Unlike in previous games, a hunter can see tremors in the ground when Akantor digs, allowing hunters to see where Akantor goes while underground.
 * Akantor is found in an entirely new area, the Lava Canyon.
