Basarios

Basarios is a small, rocky wyvern that lives in the Volcanic and Swamp regions. It is the juvenile form of Gravios. It is able to release either sleeping/poisonous gas from its underside, and on extremely rare ocassions a fire plume. It has also been known to unleash a very powerful lava beam at times, but this is very rare. It can also hurl balls of fire like a Yian Kut-Ku (although much stronger), but it prefers to charge towards predators.

When resting or changing areas, it burrows underground, exposing only its back to give the appearance of a large grey rock. Being very heavy makes it a slow mover, and although it has wings, it very rarely uses them to fly. Even when they do, their weight allows them only to fly for a very short time. In Monster Hunter, they can only stay in one area. However, in the sequels, they have gained the ability to move to different locations.

The Basarios resembles a Monoblos or a Diablos when charging, yet it is much slower and can not turn as fast.

Despite the Basarios's ability to hide, in most areas they are visible, since the rocks on his back are slightly lighter than other rocks.
