Baleful Gigginox is a Flying Wyvern and a Subspecies of Gigginox introduced in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
Physiology
Baleful Gigginox has a golden color on the top and a dark bruise-black color on its underside. Its heat-sensing organs glow green as oppossed to the normal Gigginox's purple.
Abilities
Baleful Gigginox uses Thunder and Paralysis instead of Poison. When enraged, its golden skin turns a bloody red color reminiscent of Red Khezu. Instead of poison blobs, the subspecies produces explosive electrical blob sacs. It can also generate electricity over its whole body in a similar manner to regular Khezu.
Behavior
Baleful Gigginox is highly aggressive and territorial. Smaller predators such as Great Baggi and its underlings will not be tolerated if near the monster's lair and will be killed with extreme prejudice.
Habitat
Like normal Gigginox, the Baleful Gigginox lives mainly in the freezing caves of the Tundra.

In-Game Description
Notes
General Notes
- It does not do a body slam attack filled with electricity like the original Gigginox does with poison. Instead, it has an electric field attack much like Lagiacrus or Khezu.
- Baleful Gigginox has a different Pin Attack than its normal counterpart - instead of clinging to the ceiling and pulling the hunter in, it will "fake" an electric field, then leap at the Hunter.
- This can be predicted if the electricity that is produced around its mouth is colored blue.
- This can also be predicted if there is no wave of electricity under it.
- Baleful Gigginox's roar requires HG Earplugs to block.
- Baleful Gigginox can recover Stamina by eating from a bone pile like Great Baggi or preying on Herbivores, such as Popo or Anteka.
- Unlike normal Gigginox, Baleful Gigginox do not lay hatching eggs. Instead, they produce exploding 'eggs' that release electricity, similar to how Gigginox sometimes releases poisonous, exploding 'eggs'.
- If the head of Baleful Gigginox is broken, it will shoot out blue balls of lightning instead of the normal yellow balls. These blue orbs will no longer cause Paralysis. However, its electric field will continue to inflict Paralysis.
- If the Baleful Gigginox is out of stamina, it will have trouble doing some attacks. The electric field has a shorter span of time and it will also fail to spit its ball of lightning, much like the Rathalos and Rathian when trying to spit fireballs.
