Goa Magara Discussion

Goa Magara is a monster of the ??? type first introduced in Monster Hunter 4. It is known to inhabit temperate zones. It is first encountered in one star Village Quests but will appear in other quests of other ranks up until five star in the village. It is also the flagship monster of Monster Hunter 4 and the juvenile form of Shagaru Magara.



Physiology
Goa Magara is large, quadrupedal creature with a jet black body. Its most noteworthy feature is its lack of conventional eyes, instead possessing the ability to sense the body heat of surrounding organisms. When enraged, the two horns atop its head, normally prone against the skull, stand erect and reveal two bright purple patches. It possesses a pair of large wings which are covered in a thin layer of fur. Each wing features a hand-like, four-clawed structure and can also be used as additional arms in combat.

Abilities
Goa Magara is capable of detecting the body heat signatures of other creatures around it, presumably in any direction. Goa Magara also spreads the hairs from its wings around the area to see the enviroment around it and to also increase its senses. It can travel vast distances using its powerful pair of wings, and will use its claws, fangs and tail to incapacitate prey and ward off attackers. Perhaps this monster's most famous feature is its ability to infect other monsters with an airbourne virus distributed from the hairs on its wings that contain a powerful toxin. Once infected, the host will become wildly aggressive, salivate constantly, and become powerful and resistant to damage. Goa Magara is known to use the virus as a less dangerous method of incapacitating larger, more dangerous prey, such as Tigrex.

Behaviour
Goa Magara is a stealthy and aggressive creature that'll readily attack anything within range. It is highly territorial and will attack and even kill other large predators.

Habitat
Goa Magara is known to inhabit the Ruins Field, where it has access to many types of prey. Goa Magara has also been found living in the Primeval Forest and Unknown Sea of Trees.
