Aoashira Discussion

Aoashira (アオアシラ), the first bear-like monster in the Monster Hunter series. It first appeared in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. It seems to be fond of honey, as seen in the trailer. Aoashira is seen regularly by Yukumo villagers in the Mountain Stream. Despite its size, it can attack quickly. It mainly attacks using its powerful arms with sharp claws and spikes. Though it inhabits the Mountain Stream with the Jinouga, the two do not compete for food as the Aoashira eats fish and honey while the Jinouga is a large predator. It has been confirmed that Aoashira is a Fanged Beast Species (牙獣種), also known as Pelagus in the English versions of Monster Hunter. It often hangs its tongue out.
