Daimyo Hermitaur

Daimyo Hermitaur is a Carapaceon introduced in Monster Hunter 2.



Physiology
Daimyo Hermitaur has a large, crab-like body. It is covered in a red and white carapace and wears the skull of a Monoblos as a shell. It has broad, shield-like claws and long antennae.

Abilities
It can use its claws as shields to defend itself from attackers, and can also use them to dig into the earth in order to attack foes from below. It can shoot pressurized jets of water and can use its massive weight to crush enemies.

Behavior
Daimyo Hermitaur is a rather passive creature, sometimes failing to take notice of hunters standing only feet in front of it.

Habitat
It prefers tropical to subtropical areas with sands and water such as the Old Desert and Jungle.

Hard Core (HC) Daimyo Hermitaur


Season 9.0, an HC version is added gaining several new attacks: it can now run rapidly from side to side, swinging its claws; it can jump in the air directly after retreating into its shell; it can come flying backwards out of the ground after digging and Its water beam reaches even further than Plum Daimyo Hermitaur. The ends of its claws and legs will also become red and inflamed.
