Gravios

Gravios is the mature form of Basarios. Easily one of the largest wyverns found in the series, which may intimidate the inexperienced.



Physiology
Because of its weight, Gravios do not have a tendency to use flying as a method of travel like most other wyverns, instead they will walk from areas to areas, or swim through tunnels hidden under lava. Similar to Basarios, it only uses its wings to get out of trouble, like when the effect of Pitfall Trap has run out or when he has moved too far out of bounds.

Abilities
Gaps in the Gravios' underside expel a knockout gas, potent enough to put many monsters to sleep, that is produced inside the Gravios' body. It appears to lost its ability to use poison gasses as it matured. Furthermore, these defense mechanism may be used to deter would-be predators, although there would be few monsters able to penetrate the Gravios's shell. Gravios can also expel flammable gas as a waste product of its 'heat beam', and of its diet.

Behavior
Relatively docile until provoked, but like most wyverns are fiercely territorial. The Gravios inhabits large areas of the Volcano, where it is sufficiently large enough to incubate and raise its juvenile Basarios.

Habitats
It can be found in the Volcanoes and Swamps. They are able to go in and out of lava without any damage done to them. Gravios eat rocks and minerals for their nutrients.

Hard Core (HC) Gravios


What appears to be a older Gravios than usual due to further growth of spikes and muscles. This orange eyed living tank has a improved high speed beam sweep that once charged it is able to sweep across in only 1 second making it both easy to avoid once timed correctly and deadly if evasion is failed.

It also has a new charge attack where it steps back while turning towards its intended target to then charge forward by jumping and sliding instantly at high speed finished by slamming the ground.

And a new tail attack where it walks forward then lifts its tail in the air slowly as if charging a attack then swinging it fast and violently causing great damage.

HC Gravios appears more mature and all of its spikes are longer and thicker. It has the ability to spit a sweeping beam at extreme speed giving any prey or predators only a few seconds to escape if they can. The beam is so strong the Gravios itself almost falls over.
