Great Thunderbugs are small, wispy globes of light, which appear to be swarming Thunderbugs. They are about the size of a Vespoid, and have a tendency to float around the area rather than attack hunters.
Abilities
Great Thunderbugs are also known to change into two different colors: blue and reddish-white. When in their normal and docile state, they are blue, but when attempting to attack, the blue hue becomes a fierce, glowing reddish-white; if they strike a hunter in this state they will cause notable damage. Eyewitness reports also claim that some Elder Dragons are hosts to them, providing a safe environment in which to mature. A famous example of this is the Yama Tsukami. However, the Great Thunderbugs released by Yama Tsukami are unique in that they can explode. In MHP3rd and MH3U, they are often found with Zinogre. However, these Thunderbugs appear to be smaller and don't explode.
Habitat
Great Thunderbugs are naturally found in the Tower and Jungle.
