Diablos

Diablos are hard-shelled wyverns, commonly found in the Desert region. Their name "Diablos," means both "Two Horned" and "Devil". They are easily recognized by their trademark dual horns protruding from their head. They have tough skin and even stronger heads, which they use as their primary weapon. Diablos have the ability to dig and travel underground, but can easily be unearthed with a Sonic Bomb. However, Sonic Bombs do not work when Diablos is enraged, due to its increased tolerance to high-frequency sounds. They are one of the most feared monsters living in the desert. It has been theorised that their horns become weaker and more brittle with age, as some individuals can be found in the Desert with only one horn, although it is possible these individuals lost a horn due to a battle with another Diablos. The Diablos can produce a high grade roar which normal earplugs do not work against.

Trivia

 * Diablos' roar can eject monsters (Cephalos, Delex) out of the sand, acting similar to a Sonic Bomb
 * The design of Diablos is directly inspired by a Kaiju (Giant Monster), although no particular one was mentioned. It is speculated to be Gomora for its burrowing ability.

The One-Horned Diablos

 * In Monster Hunter Freedom Unite there are two High Rank quests featuring a unique Diablos: one in the Guild and the other from Nekoht, the Felyne Elder. In these quests, players fight the "Demon King Diablos", which has higher health than a Diablos of the same rank, and higher attack and defense than any Diablos.

Changes in Monster Hunter 3

 * Pitfall traps now work on Diablos.
 * Diablos now causes tremor.
