Monoblos are Flying Wyverns introduced in Monster Hunter.

Physiology

Monoblos are large wyverns with a brown, rock-hard texture to their carapace, and very closely resemble Diablos. Unlike Diablos however, a Monoblos' head is akin to Ceratopsian dinosaurs, mainly a Styracosaurus, featuring a beaked mouth, a long, spiral, and pointed nasal horn, giving it a drill-esque look, and a large frill on the back its head, which, when enraged, gains several red markings. Additionally, it is adorned with spikes of various sizes. Monoblos has a pair of small yellow eyes with vertically slit pupils. Its back also features a frill-like carapace. The tail club is more like a mace compared to a Diablos', lined with four spikes on each side, and a single one at the end.

Abilities

While they have no breath attack, their roar is considered a lethal weapon itself. They are also very physically capable, able to fight off hunters with horn-thrusts and tail-swings. Being able to tunnel beneath the sands of the Desert also means they can sneak up on any potential threats.

Behavior

Monoblos are aggressive, and will attack Hunters on sight. When suitably enraged their crown will become inflamed with red streaks. They are quick to anger, and will move faster and hit harder while enraged.

Habitats

Monoblos have only been spotted in the Desert, Old Desert, and Dunes regions. They have also been seen inhabiting the arid areas of the Everwood.

In-Game Description

Monster Hunter Freedom 2 / Monster Hunter Freedom Unite A large-horned wyvern found in desert zones. Their giant horn makes their attacks very dangerous. While they have no breath attack, their ear-splitting roar is the bane of hunters. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate A monocerous desert-dwelling wyvern able to burrow swiftly through the sand. It puts its horn to lethal use with a charging thrust, and while it possesses no breath attack, its roar is loud enough to split human eardrums. 砂漠に生息する巨大な角をもつ飛竜。巨大な角から繰り出す攻撃は非常に強力で、その雄叫びは耳をつんざく。古くから英雄の象徴とされており、モノブロスを１人で狩猟することは、ハンターを生業とする者達にとって、大きな意味を持つ。 Threat Level (危険度): ★★★★★ Monster Hunter Stories Endowed with an impressive cranial horn. It uses its horn in brutal attacks, screeching ear-splitting war cries. Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin Endowed with an impressive cranial horn. They use this large horn in brutal attacks, screeching ear-splitting war cries. Defeating one is considered a truly heroic feat among Hunters. Monster Hunter Frontier G (?) Monster Hunter Online 分类 飞龙种。 生境范围 在远离人烟的边境沙漠生息的飞龙。 适应性 植食性却极具攻击性，特征是头部后方坚实而美观的厚盾、以及额头部位生出的巨大尖角，其名称也正源自这硬度极高且常保尖锐、堪称恐怖武器的巨角。对于武器或防具的锻造工匠来说，这角实在是罕有的绝佳素材，也吸引了无数猎人趋之若鹜，在狩猎文化的初期，能够独身讨伐一角龙者甚至还会在某些地方被称颂为“英雄”，而到如今，大多数猎人依然会选择遵循传统，独力单挑这强大的怪物，以证明自己的实力。 行为 实际上，一角龙也绝对配得上“英雄的劲敌”这样的称号，他们疾驰的速度非常快，配合在飞龙种也罕见的蛮力和尖锐的巨角，可轻易穿岩贯铁，人体更是不可能承受这一击。而虽然不具备飞龙种惯常的喷吐武器，一角龙的怒吼也极具威慑力。然而这些飞龙最可怕的时候还是在战意最盛之时进入的暴怒状态，疯狂攻击对手的一角龙，会将狩猎场中的任何稍显脆弱的存在都破坏殆尽。 Threat Level (危険度): !!!!!

General Notes

• Its name derives from the Spanish word diablo, meaning "devil" and monos (μόνος), meaning "single" in Greek.
• The Monoblos' head bears a great resemblance to that of the prehistoric Styracosaurus.
• Many of Monoblos' attacks are identical or similar to that of the Diablos.
• Along with the Diablos, Daimyo Hermitaur and Shogun Ceanataur, the Monoblos can destroy a Shock Trap by burrowing up from beneath it.
• If not in Rage, when they dig underground, a Sonic Bomb can be used to produce an effect similar to "Pit Trapping" for around five seconds.
• When a 'blos wyvern charges into a wall or ledge, their horn(s) causes them to get stuck in it, after two or three times the horn(s) will break and become an award item at the quest's end. Once its horn(s) has been broken, that individual 'blos will not get stuck in any wall or ledge again. Their tails can also be severed from the body.
• When a Monoblos is ledged for the first time in the battle, it will yield a 'shiny' item. This can either be 'wyvern tears' or another item of that ilk. However it is possible that the Monoblos may drop a rare 'Monoblos Heart'. How the Monoblos's heart is dropped is a mystery.
• Monoblos' roar requires HG Earplugs to block.
• Monoblos and its subspecies are exclusively encountered in singleplayer settings.
• The Old Desert's music theme "真紅の角 (Crimson Horn)" is made for Monoblos.
• Monoblos was voted 109th place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.
