Akantor

Akantor is an exceptionally powerful Flying Wyvern. Its Japanese title literally means "Supreme Monster".



Physiology
It has strong forelimbs, thick spikes, a clawed tail and large tusks. The Akantor bears a strong resemblance to Tigrex, the differences being that Akantor has only the barest nubs of forewings left, making it incapable of flight, and its immense size, which dramatically slows down its movements.

Abilities
Akantors are so powerful, they can have extremely negative effects on the environment they reside in. Predator and prey flee from Akantors and only the largest wyverns and Elder Dragons even dare challenge them.

Behavior
Akantors are highly aggressive and predatory - they are shown to be more than capable of taking down a Gravios. They will attack and kill almost anything on sight, often letting out a deafening roar before charging head on.

Habitat
Akantor is found in the Battleground, whilst in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, it is fought in the Lava Canyon, and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, it is fought in the Ingle Isle.

Hard Core (HC) Akantor


HC Akantor has an unusual blue tint all across its body, as well as even larger tusks than before. In addition, it has a new set of attacks and movement patterns, including producing giant pillars of lava and fire as well as using its sonic roar to cover its body and cause damage to any Hunters too close.
