Things You May Not Know About Xeno’jiiva (Sources: Dive to Monster Hunter World - pg. 362 to 367)

Length: 4509.1cm Height: 1248.45cm Foot Size: 348cm


 * Some call Xeno'jiiva the Emperor of Elder Dragons from absorbing and using the energy of many other Elder Dragons. Upon seeing this Elder Dragon emerge from its cocoon, the commission knew immediately that Xeno'jiiva was a massive threat that shouldn't be allowed to leave its nest.
 * A hunter from the Fifth Fleet was able to slay Xeno'jiiva.
 * Upon dying, the Elder Dragons dissolve in the effluvium, and their bioenergy accumulates in the earth before eventually crystallizing. This process made the crystalline structures seen in the Elder's Recess and Confluence of Fates. The Confluence of Fates is made up of many giant crystals and Xeno’jiiva slumbers in the center of it, absorbing bioenergy from them to grow. As Xeno’jiiva absorbs more bioenergy, its energy rises rapidly, causing more Elder Dragons to go to its location and affecting the ecosystem of the New World. What awoke Xeno’jiiva during the latest Elder Crossing was the massive energy produced by Zorah Magdaros.
 * It was storing the bioenergy of dead Elder Dragons to grow, and, when its energy capacity reached its limit, it finally came out of its cocoon.
 * A researcher theorizes that Xeno’jiiva feeds on the energy of other creatures and uses some kind of pheromones to attract powerful monsters to its location. This person hypothesizes that Xeno’jiiva not only has the ability to cause an Elder Crossing early but has also obtained enough energy to be considered the Emperor of Elder Dragons.
 * The Confluence of Fates is considered to be the womb Xeno'jiiva grew in. All the bioenergy within the crust of the New World was being directed to that area, where Xeno'jiiva was absorbing it for a long period of time to grow.
 * After emerging out of its cocoon, Xeno'jiiva's skin is transparent, and its whole body is soft and moist. Its wings aren't even fully functional yet since they were folded up tight while it was resting, but Xeno'jiiva is soon able to fly once energy flows into them.
 * Its skin is white in color, but the bioenergy in it emits a beautiful light.
 * It is theorized that Xeno'jiiva loses its transparent skin as it further grows.
 * Its overall body shape and frame is like other Elder Dragons, four legs and two wings, but its power is exceptional compared to most others of that class. Although Xeno'jiiva had only just emerged from its cocoon, its powers are considered to be quite great with how it is able to manipulate and spread large amounts of energy throughout its body.
 * If allowed to venture out of its nest and grow, Xeno'jiiva will become very dangerous.
 * If hunters look closely at it, they can see energy flowing into different parts of Xeno'jiiva's body (Head, tail, and arms). By concentrating its energy in those parts, Xeno'jiiva is able to release mounds of it all at once when it attacks. Though its power is great, it can't control all that energy and isn't very precise with it either. It's believed that if Xeno'jiiva was left alone to master its powers it would've been a greater threat.
 * The energy stored in it could possibly flow throughout its body infinitely in the future.
 * Xeno'jiiva has five fingers and four toes ending in sharp claws.
 * Its claws are said to cleave soul from flesh.
 * Xeno'jiiva's title, Dark Light Dragon, comes from the red glowing organ in its chest. This heat organ distributes large amounts of energy to Xeno'jiiva's arms, tail, and head to amplify its strength. When this organ is left to produce large amounts of energy, and the build-up of it reaches a certain level, an explosion of energy will engulf Xeno'jiiva's body as it enters into its Critical State (Japenese 臨界状態). Blue flames will come from portions of its body, and its strength and the amount of energy it uses is increased. While in this state, Xeno'jiiva is dangerous enough to threaten the lives of all creatures since the energy in the veins of the earth even respond to this monster's presence. When Xeno'jiiva releases its own energy in that state, it also triggers a reaction to the energy within the crust of the land, causing a massive explosion of the two forces.
 * Even after becoming an adult, it is thought that Xeno'jiiva doesn't feed on other creatures and just sustains itself on the energy that heat organ produces as it grows.
 * The head of Xeno'jiiva is where its energy is the most concentrated at. Instead of destructive explosions like its other parts, Xeno'jiiva is able to breathe powerful beams that burn just about anything that comes in contact with it, including the ground. By firing those beams out of its mouth, it is able to maintain itself and the amount of energy inside of its body. Xeno'jiiva becomes unstable when it builds up too much energy for it to store, affecting its body mass, so it needs to release as much as possible, especially in its Critical State.
 * When it releases energy out of its body in its Critical State, Xeno'jiiva is known to become exhausted for a long period of time from it.
 * Researchers theorize that, once an adult, it will be able to control the energy of its beam so it can maintain its Critical State.
 * Its burnt scale still radiates vestiges of the hereafter.
 * A rare piece of Xeno'jiiva shell, tempered to act as a vessel for the flames of the underworld.
 * Xeno'jiiva's Veil is an organ that stores energy that can be released in a violent torrent.
 * A Xeno'jiiva's tail that can brush aside all enemies in a single lash.
 * During growth, it's theorized that its horns help control the beast's power.
 * The wing membrane shines with the divine light of a powerful deity.
 * A phantasmal gem formed inside the tissue of Xeno'jiiva. The power it holds defies comprehension.
