Merphistophelin are Elder Dragons introduced in Monster Hunter Online.

Physiology

Merphistophelin is a pale white Elder Dragon whose physical appearance is very similar to that of Fatalis. Running along from it's head to it's tail rests a line of dark grey spines, trailing off from being shortest on the tail to larger barbs along the back of its neck. Its head is rather unusual, being somewhat avian and serpentine in appearance, while also sporting a prominent spike on its chin. This dragon's wings are also abnormal in their appearance, being almost devoid of any sort of membrane in between, yet this beast somehow retains the ability to fly. Its wing membrane appears when it enters one of its elemental states. On its chest is an assortment of rib-cage like barbs that normally stay closed around its purple chest cavity. These barbs will spring open during either of its states with the "core" in it changing to various colors depending on the state its in.

Abilities

Merphistophelin is an unique Elder Dragon that is capable of utilizing both the Fire and Dragon elements by using the "core" on its chest to absorb elemental energy, allowing it to enter the respective element's state or return to its original neutral state.

While not using an element, Merphistophelin is only capable of physical attacks, but by entering an elemental state, not only does Merphistophelin gain access to various breath and elemental attacks, but the effects of those attacks varies depending on Merphistophelin's state.

While in its Fire state, Merphistophelin gains access to a heated beam attack, and if it chooses to crawl along the ground, it will ignite the ground underneath it. These ignited spots will inflict Fireblight on hunters who step into them. While in this state, While in this state, Merphistophelin tends to use its crawl attack.

While in its Dragon state, Merphistophelin is capable of utilizing a draconic breath attack, and if it performs its crawling attack, it will charge the ground underneath it with the Dragon Element. If hunters step onto this afflicted soil, they will be stunned.

Whenever Merphistophelin is about to change state, it will fly into the air and curl itself, before releasing an elemental explosion that is capable of inflicting Fireblight (Fire) or Stun (Dragon).

Behavior

This Elder Dragon is very aggressive and territorial and will attack any and all trespassers in its territory. Merphistophelin is somewhat prideful and will actively pick fights with other monsters, but it will also easily become enraged after sustaining enough damage.

分类
“由于极为凶暴易怒的性情和超强的破坏力,荒厄龙被划定为古龙种,这一古老而强大的种族。”这是有记载以来的文献中,关于荒厄龙的仅存记录。

生境范围
目前仅存火山的目击记录。有学者猜测,荒厄龙对多种属性的认知,使得他在任何极端环境下都可以生存。

生态位
荒厄龙在人类的历史中恶名昭彰,被称为“恶魔”、\永恒之破坏者”。究其原因,除了登临生态位顶端,肆意捕食飞龙种之外,荒厄龙还非常热衷展示自己的力量。由于实力的悬殊,其活跃区域生物们都会采取主动避让,因此对自然生态环境构成极大威胁。尽管留存下来的生态记录有限,但是有关于荒厄龙的传说仍不绝于耳。由于荒厄龙的目击记录或多或少都与聚集群落的毁灭相连,因此被铭刻入传说“末日浩劫”也不足为奇了。人们对这种古老生物的产生了最深层的恐惧,随之而生是无穷尽的好奇,传闻甚至有部族将其作为图腾崇拜。

适应性
随着近年来生物探究领域的扩大,人们对于荒厄龙有了一些间接的理解。来自古龙观测所的研究,荒厄龙体内似乎拥有一种名为厄之核心的能量源体,能够改变身体周遭的能量场,调动不限于单一属性的能量以猎杀目标。由于目击记录留存极少,荒厄龙的生态情境仍是个谜团。

行为
荒厄龙的性情极为暴虐易怒,一直存在的说法是,他对处于衰败期的生物有一种特殊的知觉,残忍狡黠的个性使得他不会放过任何目标。一旦感受到威胁存在,会倾其所能将对方置于毁灭的境地,直到平静下来为止。
或者是体内包藏巨大能量体的关系,体型庞大的荒厄龙行动较为迟缓,但这并不会对他强大的攻击力有丝毫的减损。荒厄龙习惯于低空飞袭,其无止境的怒气是最为恐怖所在。

Notes

  • Merphistophelin's head, wings, chest and tail can be wounded.
    • Breaking Merphistophelin's chest also damages the spikes at the base of its tail.
  • Merphistophelin's name may possibly be based on the word "Mephistopheles," which is the name of a demon featured in German folklore. However, the word is made of three different Greek words: μή (mḗ), φῶς (phō̃s), and φιλις (pheles). "mḗ" is used as a negation, "phō̃s" means "light", and "pheles" means "loving." Together this means "not-light-loving".[1]
