Velocidrome

A Velocidrome is the alpha male leader of a Velociprey pack. Its large, bright red crest over its blue hide signifies to other Velociprey that it is fit to be their leader, and is. In the original Monster Hunter, Velocidromes were always surrounded by Velociprey which constantly spawns and, more often than not, hunters had to face at least 2 of them in one quest. However, in later games they may be fought alone and away from their minions. They are usually the first of the 'dromes' to be met in the games (with the exception of MH Tri, for which they do not have a part in). They can usually be found in the forest and hills or the jungle regions. There are several related species, including the Giadrome, (snowy mountains) the Gendrome, (desert) and the Iodrome (volcano or swamp). All drome species can be found in the great forest aswell (MHFU and Frontier).
