Monoblos are large hard-shelled wyverns that have the ability to dig and travel underground. Monoblos were named for the strong horn protruding from their head, which is held as a prize by many hunters. They have a brown, rock-hard texture to their shell. Monoblos have only been spotted in desert regions, they don't have a breath attack but their ear-splitting roar is the bane of many hunters. They can only be fought offline in Monster Hunter.
[edit] Battle
- Their horn and tail can be cut off, with the tail allowing two carves.
- The most sensitive spot on a Monoblos's body is their tail stub.
- If not in rage, when they dig underground, a sonic bomb can be used to produce an effect similar to "pit trapping" giving the hunter a prime opportunity to attack.
- Signs of a Monoblos being in rage mode is indicated with 4 red dots appear on his head and black smoke starts coming out of his mouth.
- When a 'blos charges into a wall or ledge, their horn causes them to get stuck in it, giving the hunter a chance to get some free hits in.
- Notice that after being 'ledged' its horn has been broken, this means it wont get stuck again if it charges against a wall or ledge.
- Upon ledging a Monoblos (or White Monoblos) there is a chance that it might drop a rare Monoblos heart, which would indicate that the Monoblos and its white counterpart have at least two hearts.
- Another way to get a Monoblos Heart is to trade a Veggie Elder Ticket Silver (go hunting with a friend and get at least 70 friend points in your Guild Card) to a Veggie Elder at the desert (mainly found at Area 8).
- Monoblos hearts can also be obtained by initiating the HR4 quest "Ultimate Crab Dinner". These are rarely given as a reward.
- You can obtain Blood Red Horn by breaking the shell of a Daimyo Hemituar. If you find the Monoblos a little challenging breaking the Daimyo's shell is a much easier way to get the horn as the skull a Daimyo wears is from a Monoblos.
- It is advised to stay at close-to-medium range from the Monoblos, because the further you are away from him, the more time he has to turn towards you when charging. It is easier to stay close. also there are more oppurtunities to attack when closer.
[edit] Trivia
- A Monoblos was famously said to have killed the wife of the legendary "Village Elder" of Kokoto, causing him to retire from hunting on the spot after slaying it.
- "Monoblos" means "One Horned".
- The Daimyo Hermituar carries a Monoblos skull on its back.
