Things You May Not Know About Gamuto(Info comes from MHX, MHX's Site, Famitsu, and 4gamer)

Note: The Flagship Monsters are going to be the first monsters I'll post, excluding Dinovaldo potentially, in order of generation.


 * Gamuto is a recently discovered species of Fanged Beast found living in snowy climates like the Snowy Mountains and Frozen Seaway.
 * It gets the title, Giant Beast, from its mountainous size. It is also called the Immovable Mountain God from its size as well as the fact it can rarely be moved easily while standing against a threat.
 * Gamuto actually doesn't have many threats to stand against it. Even Tigrex and other large predatory monsters rarely pose a threat against a Gamuto.
 * Though Gamuto is a herbivore, it is extremely territorial. Usually if it finds a predator in its territory, it is known to kill the predator instantly with one powerful frontal pound of its legs combined with its great weight.
 * Gamuto are known to have big appetites, sometimes leading to them eating to many resources in a area, leading to not enough food to support them. A starving Gamuto is known to be extremely violent while hungry.
 * This sometimes leads to a Gamuto moving near a settlement before destroying the wooden houses within that location. Gamuto are known to feed on the wood on those homes in order to satisfy their own hunger.
 * Due to the Gamuto's appetite, size, bulk, and aggression it shouldn't be underestimated, even though it is a herbivore.
 * Gamuto is known to use its own weight and bulk to fight in battle.
 * With each step taken by Gamuto, the ground shakes.
 * Its trunk is strong and used for picking up objects like certain foods. However, Gamuto have been seen violently grabbing smaller monsters and slamming them down on the ground if they threatened it.
 * Its trunk is estimated to be strong enough to lift up large Flying Wyverns and even throw them.
 * The trunk is also used to suck up snow so it can use the snow as a weapon to protect itself or even to coat its legs. It coats its legs in snow to make its smashing attacks more destructive, making it less likely for its threats to get out alive.
 * This shows that Gamuto are highly intelligent.
 * A full grown Gamuto is larger than a full grown Duramboros.
 * Gamuto is the champion of the Elite Four.
 * Gamuto was made because the Monster Hunter team always wanted to make a Mammoth-like Monster. They also mixed in two giant monsters of legend into Gamuto's concept and design, Cyclops and Hekatonkheires.
