Ashen Lao-Shan Lung

The Azure Lao-Shan Lung is a subspecies of the Lao-Shan Lung. It is essentially the same creature, only possessing a different coloring and increased health. They typically migrate from volcanic areas in the time of season where the temperature becomes too hot to handle. The gray appearance of their massive scales are due to life long exposure to the ashes from volcanic eruptions. In Monster Hunter Freedom 2, you must repel it to get to Hunter Rank 5.

=Weakness=
 * The Azure Lao-Shan Lung shares the same weaknesses as the regular Lao-Shan Lung. For Blademasters, the weakest point that can be reached is the monster's belly.

For Gunners, there is a weak spot that can be easily reached with their weapons, it's located on the back. It's the same place where Anti-Dragon bombs should be placed, which can be carved 3 times


 * This 'Achilles heel' can be normally reached on Areas 2, 3 and 4 of the map, by literally jumping on the back of the monster from one of the bridges.


 * A hammer with quite a high amount of raw damage, similar to Diablos Chaos Broker or the Onslaught Hammer are the most efficient weapons to kill the Azure Lao-Shan Lung. Otherwise, use Dragon-element Dual Blades like Eternal Schisms.


 * This strategy also works on regular Lao-Shan Lung.

Trivia

 * Having Grey-coloured scales, it's possible that polishing it's scale will show it's azure colour.
 * Actually, due to it's Grey appearance it is mistranslated as Azure Lao-Shan Lung(Obviously refering the azure colour on it's weapons & armors) instead of the actual translation Ashen Lao-Shan Lung(Refering to the ashes from the volcanic habitat that discolored the red scales of the regular Lao-Shan Lung)
