Duramboros

Duramboros is a Brute Wyvern first introduced in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. It is known to inhabit forested areas and can be encountered at Low, High, and G-Rank Quests in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.



Physiology
Duramboros is a bulky, heavyset monster with stocky, muscular legs and a thick upper body. It features a very thick outer hide that is riddled with heavy folds, with a row of armoured plates running along its back and tail. Duramboros' most distinctive features include its massive tail club, twin brow horns, and a pair of energy-rich dorsal humps. Duramboros' slow lifestyle often results in a layer of moss and algae growing upon its hide, most noticeably along the back.

Behaviour
Duramboros is an herbivore, subsisting primarily on fallen tree trunks. Using its ram-like pair of horns, as well its hammer-like tail club, it is known to push or knock down weak or dead trees in order to comfortably feed on them. Though generally docile, Duramboros has a capacity for aggression if provoked. It is known to use its tail club, horns, and overall mass to attack foes. One of its most unique tendencies is to twirl in place, using its tail club as a counter-balance to build up centrifugal force, allowing it to hurl itself at an attacker and crush them with its body.

Habitat
Due to its diet, Duramboros is most commonly encountered in highly forested areas, such as the Flooded Forest or Misty Peaks.

Design
Duramboros' design takes visual cues from modern-day rhinos, elephants,and buffalo, as well as the extinct Ankylosaurus.
