Khezu



Khezu is a wyvern that lives in the cold dampness of caves. His sickly white flesh is very moist, which keeps his skin from drying. Living in dark caves, the Khezu has evolved to not having eyes, which is made up for his superb sense of smell. A layer of fat helps to keep him warm and prolong his time without eating, as there is not much life roaming in his habitat. Although Khezus are cave dwellers, they rarely go out if they please.Young or baby khezus are called whelps.

A Khezu's body has internal organs that spark electrical currents through its body. Khezus are able to grapple onto the ceiling to investigate the area. Khezus not only manipulate lightning to send currents across the floor, but can shield itself in it, an excellent defensive mechanism. Khezus are very weak to fire elemental weapons. The most sensitive part on their body is their neck.

Khezus have a subspecie named Red Khezu, also known as "Blood Khezu".

Khezu first appeared in Monster Hunter.
