Kelbi are small deer-like creatures that prance around on grassy plains. These minions are very timid in nature, but will charge a hunter if provoked. Kelbi have brown to green fur coats, with peach or gray spots.
Kelbi are very weak and cause little damage. A single hit with most weapons will kill them.
Most Kelbi are either hunted for Kelbi Horns, Ancient Potions, or Kelbi Hide, for low-level armor. In High rank quests for Monster Hunter Freedom 2 or Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, they are also valuable for High Quality Pelts.
[edit] Trivia
- Kelbi first appeared in Monster Hunter.
- There are two large Kelbi carcasses in the Forest and Hills zone. There have been some arguments claiming these carcasses are that of a Kirin, as the corpses only have one visible horn and the models are larger than traditional Kelbi. When hunting the Rathalos or Rathian in this zone, you may spot them eating from the carcass in Area 9.
- If not enough damage is done in one hit, Kelbi will pretend to die and eventually run away.
- A running joke in the Monster Hunter community is the "Kelbidrome", the non-existent alpha leader of the Kelbi. No such monster exists.
- In the offline mode of Monster Hunter Tri, there exists a Kelbi with unusually large horns.
- In Monster Hunter Tri, Kelbi's can be KO'd and carved alive. This will yield a larger chance of obtaining its horns, rather than carving its slain body.
