Espinas

The Espinas is a wyvern that is featured in Monster Hunter Frontier. Its debut date in MH:Frontier was on January 30, 2008.

=Description= Espinas currently bears the most resemblance to a Rathian, but instead of scales their bodies are covered in hot pink spikes and rough green armor plating. Much like a Gypceros, they can quickly spit purple globs of poison at a hunter. They can also charge similarly to a Basarios or Monoblos, with the head in front to damage enemies with the horn. It is very accustomed to using its tail as a weapon. When it becomes enraged, a soft pink color spreads over its back and the top part of its wings & gains vulnerability to damage. Espinas are unusual when not enrage because they tend to be passive thanks to it's hard shells, because of this Espinas ignores the damage dealt by hunters which means all weapons bounces off his hard shell when not enraged.

Useful tips: Espinas does not attack you when it is not in rage. Because of this, his skin is very hard to pierce through at some places, even with purple sharpness. He becomes more vulnerable once he goes into rage mode. Strongest attack: His purple fire ball is the key to your death; it inflicts poison and paralysis at the same time.
