In-Game Information[]

MH4U-Berserk Tetsucabra Icon

An amphibious monster known for its distinctive markings resembling a painted face. These beasts dig up and hurl boulders in the same way a standard Tetsucabra does, but the stones thrown by this Berserk variety explode upon impact.


Taxonomy[]

  • Order: Caudata
  • Suborder: Demon Frog
  • Family: Cabra

Berserk Tetsucabra are a part of the Amphibian. It is a Subspecies of the Tetsucabra.

Habitat Range[]

Within the Old World, Berserk Tetsucabra inhabit the Sunken Hollow, when the volcano is dormant in the area, and the Volcanic Hollow, when the volcano is active. Berserk Tetsucabra can also be found rarely in the Everwood.

Ecological Niche[]

Berserk Tetsucabra prey upon anything smaller than themselves that ventures too close to the water. This includes Kelbi, Aptonoth, Jaggi, Rhenoplos, Gargwa and Slagtoth. Due to their large size and tough armor, they have only other large predators to be wary of. These include Nerscylla, Deviljho, Najarala, GlavenusStygian ZinogreAgnaktor and Teostra.

Biological Adaptations[]

From Berserk Tetsucabra's habit of using explosive rocks, its scales have become dirty from the soot and gases from the explosive rocks it uses. This has also changed the color of its face, which changes color after each rock that explodes near its face. If looked at closely, some of its original colors can still be seen. Despite its body becoming dirty, the soot and gases have actually made the Berserk Tetsucabra's scales, jaws, and shell tougher, making it resistant against to the explosions of the rocks. Berserk Tetsucabra tusk are heated like iron.

Behavior[]

Berserk Tetsucabra are a lot more wild and aggressive than Tetsucabra. From the fact it uses explosive rocks for defense is one of the reasons why the Guild consider them berserk or wild compared to Tetsucabra.

Male Berserk Tetsucabra will use the explosive rocks to gain territory from potential threats and to attract females.
