Monoblos

Monoblos are large hard-shelled wyverns that have the ability to dig and travel underground. Monoblos were named for the strong horn protruding from their head, which is held as a prize by many hunters. They have a brown, rock-hard texture to their shell, which weakens the durability of weapons as they clash. Monoblos have only been spotted in desert regions. They can only be fought offline in Monster Hunter.

Battle

 * Their horn and tail can be cut off, with the tail allowing two carves.
 * The most sensitive spot on a Monoblos's body is their tail stub.
 * If not in rage, when they dig underground, a sonic bomb can be used to produce an effect similar to "pit trapping.
 * Signs of a monoblos being in rage mode is indicated with 4 red dots on his head and when black smoke starts coming out of it's mouth.


 * When a Blos charges into a wall or ledge, their horn causes them to get stuck in it, giving the hunter/s a chance to get free hits.
 * Notice that after it's horn has been broken it won't be stuck anymore if it charges against a wall or ledge . This is called "ledging."
 * Upon ledging a Monoblos (or White Monoblos) there is a chance that it might drop a Monoblos heart, which would indicate that the Monoblos and it's White counterpart have at least two hearts.
 * The rarest Monoblos material which is shared by it's white counterpart, the "Monoblos Heart" is the rarest of all rare items because of the difficulty of getting it is very high. The Monoblos Heart is used mainly to make Siegmund
 * Another way to get a Monoblos Heart is to trade a veggie elder ticket silver(go hunting with a friend and get at least 70 friend points in your guild card) to a veggie elder at the desert(mainly found at area 8).

Trivia

 * A Monoblos was famously said to have killed the wife of the legendary "Village Elder" of Kokoto, causing him to retire on the spot after slaying it.


 * Interestingly, "Monoblos" means "One Horned".
