Things You May Not Know About Bazelgeuse (Info comes from Monster Hunter: World)


 * Bazelgeuse is a notorious Flying Wyvern that patrols the New World in search of food.
 * It has been seen feeding on Wingdrakes and other lesser monsters.
 * Bazelgeuse is larger than most other Flying Wyverns known in the New World. Though it is larger than its brethren, it is still capable of flight.
 * Unlike other Flying Wyverns it doesn't have any horns, spikes, etc. to attack with. It instead has a deadly secret under its body and tail. Under those parts are explosive scales, which are produced by special fluids in its body, that are highly volatile in nature. A single explosion from these scales can easily kill most lesser creatures, including inexperienced hunters. These explosive scales are also loose, meaning they fall off easily while Bazelgeuse attacks. Despite their volatile nature, the scales can be destroyed by other monsters, however, Bazelgeuse's body fluids can produce more of them in a short period of time.
 * This is why it is nicknamed the Explosive Scale Wyvern (Japanese 爆鱗竜).
 * It is known to rain down scales when it ambushes prey.
 * Bazelgeuse is highly aggressive and will attack other large monsters with no warning. So far, it doesn't seem like this Flying Wyvern has its own territory.
