Ukanlos

The Ukanlos is an icy, partially aquatic monster and polar opposite to the black Akantor. The Ucamulbas is naturally imbued with Ice-element, unlike Akantor's 'natural' element, Fire. Instead of lava ruptures, it throws up chunks of ice with its serrated Shovel-chin & Ice Beam. The carapace that Ukanlos is cladded with resembles a streamlined carapace of the rocky Basarios but instead of camouflage, it crushes through ice plates as it swims. Unlike any wyverns, its eyes are nearly unnoticable without looking close to it because of its head structure. Despite its specimen class, it does not have noticeable wings or vestigial webbings, making its physical appearance subjected to other topics of another species.

Literally, its Japanese title (Crumbling Monster) means that this wyvern is somewhat destructive in nature, making its attacks exceptionally very strong. It is also said to bring destruction upon the land.

Facts

 * Although it borrows lots of attacks from Akantor's moveset, the key difference is when it roars, the volume is not strong enough to throw up chunks of ice.
 * Its aquatic nature allows it to swim through ice. The swim attack has pinpointed as nearly unavoidable, similar to Teo/Luna's charge.
 * Melee fighters should not notice any real difference between fighting Akantor and Ukanlos, besides learning how to avoid his swim attack (dive/block).
 * Another suggestion is to hide whenever it throws up chunks of ice with either its shovel or Ice Beam.
 * The Ice Beam and shovel attack is of no concern to melee fighters who are pounding his right leg. It will never hit that area.
 * Its tail swing is similar to Akantor's tail swing, but has an additional effect of giving the snowman status.
 * All Ukanlos weapons have extremely high raw, but -30% to -40% affinity.
 * Ukanlos armor is unlike Akantor Armor in MHF2 in that it lacks any Earplug, but it gives ESP.
 * In addition, its weapons & armors are quite hard to make, as it takes sheer luck to acquire as many Divine Jewels for the equipments.
 * Defeating it awards a Northern Star, an opposite to the Akantor award called "Blood Onyx"

Trivia

 * Throw a sonic bomb before its Ice Beam protrudes from its mouth & will drop a shiny. It will also writhe in pain, allowing many free hits.
 * Its first mention as a new monster was on March 26, 2008.
 * It's quest, "Absolute Zero", is the highest paid quest within Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G and, so far, the entire Monster Hunter Universe
