Neopterons with paralyzing poison stingers. They are quite fragile, so carefully take them down with your Slinger or poison to safely carve materials.

Neopterons with paralyzing poison stingers on their abdomens. Since Vespoids are attracted to light, hunters can use brightmoss to mark large monsters, which Vespoid will then attack and paralyze. To finish off a Vespoid without damaging its delicate materials, a hunter must avoid blunt trauma and use attacks that gradually drain its health. Vespoid fluids are useful for crafting with monster bones.

Neopteron

Fanged beasts with pink fur that prefer mild, damp climates. Generally, they don’t form large packs and only live together in small numbers.

Fanged beasts with pink fur. Packs typically consist of females and juveniles. An adult male Congalala may occasionally be sighted within a pack, but these are non-social creatures that don’t establish a chain of command. Beware their terrific flatulence, as they will use it to inflict stench on perceived threats.

Fanged Beast

Fanged beasts with snow-white pelts. Blango travel in packs with a Blangonga at the head, working together to eliminate intruders.

Fanged beasts with snow-white pelts. Blango generally travel in groups with a Blangonga leading them. As a pack, they work together efficiently to eliminate threats to their territory, responding instantly to their leader’s commands.

Fanged Beast

Male Ceratonoth. They use their large spikes to disperse lightning into the ground and protect the females of their sizeable herds.

Male Ceratonoth, known for their large herds. During sandstorms, they use their large spikes to channel any lightning strikes. This process sometimes causes fulgurite to form on parts of their bodies. A male responds quickly when a large predator attacks and makes an effort to lead his herd to safety.

Herbivore

Female Ceratonoth. In a harsh climate where nourishment is difficult to come by, they are frequently targeted by predators.

Herbivore

Herbivores that move between habitats in response to environmental changes. When in danger, they use their head plating to fight back.

Herbivores that live in herds and move between habitats in response to environmental changes. Dalthydon are bred as livestock and play an important role in human life. Although they are docile in general, when the herd is in danger, they assume a group defensive formation and use their evolved cranial plating as a weapon.

Herbivore

Herbivores that are raised as livestock. In addition to providing wool and milk, they are also used for physical labor.

Herbivore

Neopterons that use swarming tactics to contain and subdue prey, then dissolve it from the inside. Sonic bombs will disable their sensory organs.

Neopterons that inhabit the Windward Plains. They use their needle-like mouths to pour digestive juices into carrion to dissolve it into easily consumed fluids. Feeding makes them bloated and sluggish, so they have to rest on walls or ceilings. Their forelegs double as sensory organs that they use to assess their surroundings, but they are quite sensitive, so a loud noise is usually enough to immobilize a Bulaqchi.

Neopteron

Carnivores that work together to attack intruders using their powerful jaws. A clever hunter can turn them against larger monsters.

Carnivores that prowl the Windward Plains. Their distinct jaw is designed to grab prey and not let go, and they excel at working together to hunt and deal with intruders. It’s not uncommon to see a pack of Talioth take on a bigger monster and win by sheer numbers; a clever hunter will take advantage of this and use Talioth to distract or weaken their main target.

Bird Wyvern

Winged wyverns that vibrate their thoraxes to create a deafening roar. You can nab screamer pods from them using the Hook Slinger.

Winged wyverns that inhabit the Windward Plains. Rather than do their own hunting, they use their high vantage to scavenge carrion. Baunos take shelter to avoid the lightning during an Inclemency. When a little intimidation is called for, they vibrate their thorax feathers to create a deafening roar. You can get screamer pods from them with the Hook Slinger.

Wingdrake

Leviathans with distinct snouts that live near water. Obtain bleeding pods by firing your Hook Slinger at them.

Leviathans with distinct snouts that live near water. If the water is deep enough, a Gajios will stay submerged with only the tip of its nose exposed, waiting for prey to wander by. You can obtain bleeding pods with the Hook Slinger—but not without a fight.

Leviathan

Leviathans with beautiful scales and blade-like protrusions. They primarily inhabit the Scarlet Forest, and hunt in highly organized packs.

Leviathans whose bodies are covered with beautiful scales and sharp blades. As a pack, they work together to surround prey, but since most Piragill are too timid to make the kill, they usually wait for an opening and lunge all at once. Don’t underestimate them; on water, their speed is unmatched, and those blades will make mincemeat of a hunter that wanders too close.

Leviathan

Winged wyverns that are identifiable by the long, sharp horn on their heads. Obtain piercing pods by firing the Hook Slinger at them.

Winged wyverns that are identifiable by the long, sharp horn on their heads—which just so happen to make great Slinger ammo. Large as the Harpios may be, they never attack hunters, choosing instead to stay by the water and prey on fish. On occasions when large fish scare the smaller ones to the surface, you might even get to see a bona fide Harpios feeding frenzy.

Wingdrake

Small carnivores that prowl Oilwell Basin, hunting in small packs. They have been known to engage larger monsters while feeding.

Carnivores that prowl Oilwell Basin. Their skulls have evolved in a way that lets them expand and contract the plating, and lunge at prey with hammer-like blows. They hunt Gelidron and keep their packs small. There have been accounts of Kranodath engaging larger monsters while feeding, where they cling to the enemy’s skull and stun it with repeated head bashes.

Bird Wyvern

Neopterons with well-developed tail stingers and forelegs. They surround prey in colonies, using their tails to inject a sleeping agent.

Neopterons that inhabit the Iceshard Cliffs. Comaqchi rarely move around, staying adhered to the walls most of the time in large colonies. Their forelegs are well adapted to striking, and they can use their well-developed tail stingers to inject a sleeping agent that make targets easier to prey upon.

Neopteron

Amphibians that have adapted to their dry, hot habitat by producing a protective slime. Their tasty flesh makes them a target of carnivores.

Amphibians commonly found in Oilwell Basin. Subcutaneous slime protects them from getting burned. Gelidron lay ambushes, waiting to snap up prey with their big, meaty tongues. Fine hairs on their digits, combined with sharp claws, allow them to climb straight up walls. Unfortunately for the Gelidron, their edible parts are delicious, putting them in high demand with carnivores in the wild…as well as in Azuz.

Amphibian

Herbivores that live in herds in cold areas. They are targeted by predators as a source of sustenance where flora and fauna are scarce.

Herbivores that live primarily in cold regions. Rafma form herds with a large alpha at the head. When threatened, the alpha discharges static energy stored in its horn to shock foes and defend the herd. This horn can also be targeted with the Hook Slinger to get paralytic ammo. Rafma have been sighted moving along dizzyingly steep cliffsides, to the wonderment of observers.

Herbivore

Bird wyverns with sharp bristles on their heads. Obtain Slinger ammo that is effective at creating wounds by firing your Hook Slinger at them.

Bird wyverns that live in herds at the heart of the Ruins of Wyveria. Porkeplumes are extremely timid and will protect themselves against threats by puffing out the bristles on their heads. If the situation escalates, a member of the herd will slam into the foe with its bristles, giving the other members a window to escape. The head bristles can be used as bleeding pods for the Slinger.

Bird Wyvern

Newly-hatched Nerscylla larvae. They form colonies in the bodies of devoured prey, nests, and other hidey-holes, and react as a group when provoked.

The larval form of a temnoceran that inhabits the Iceshard Cliffs. At this stage, they cannot use webbing or status ailments like adult Nerscylla, but these little fellows like to gang up, surround prey, and then pounce all at once.

Temnoceran

Artificial wyverns created by an ancient civilization. They hatch from small cocoons and travel in packs, attacking with sharp claws.

Artificial wyverns created by an ancient civilization. They dash through the Ruins of Wyveria in search of Wyvern Milk, their source of energy. Unlike the original Seikret, the Guardian types are aggressive and have sharp, dangerous claws on their unique forelegs. They generally travel in packs of two or three, but if threatened, they may call for more help and try to surround the adversary.
