Basarios

Basarios is a small rocky wyvern that lives exclusively in the volcanic regions. It is the juvenile form of Gravios. It is able to release either sleeping/poisonous gas from its underside, and on extremely rare ocassions a fire plume. It has also been known to unleash a very powerful lava beam at times, but this occurs very rarely. It can also hurl balls of fire like a Yian Kut-Ku(although much stronger), but it prefers to charge towards predators.

When resting or changing areas, it burrows underground, exposing only its back to give the appearance of a large gray rock. Being very heavy makes it a slow mover,and although it has wings, it very rarely uses them to fly, and when they do their weight allows them only to fly for a very short time. (In Monster Hunter, they can only stay in one area. However, in the sequels, they have gained the ability to move to different locations by burrowing, similar to the Carapaceons.

Their exterior shell is hardened to the point where weapons with green sharpness have the tendency to bounce in many places (without the ESP skill). Only by exposing the chest plate area does this tendency drop significantly.

The tail can also be sliced off by blade weapons. Difficulty of this is rather high as Basarios charges quite frequently and at other times expel gases which inflict sleep or poison. This is in addition with the bouncing of weapons due to the hard exterior shell. And if you manage to, then it will be extremely small and hard to find.
