MHWI-Acidic Glavenus Icon

A subspecies of Glavenus found in the Rotten Vale. A corrosive fluid has crystallized on its tail, spraying acid with each swing.

Taxonomy[]

  • Order: Saurischia
  • Suborder: Theropoda
  • Superfamily: Tail Blade Wyvern
  • Family: Glavenus

Acidic Glavenus is a Brute Wyvern and subspecies of Glavenus.

Habitat Range[]

While the common Glavenus inhabits forests, deserts, and volcanos, Acidic Glavenus inhabits the more extreme Rotten Vale and the Rotten region of the Guiding Lands. It is able to grow sulphurous crystals on its tail that create acidic mist when shattered, perhaps because of its habitat choice.

Ecological Niche[]

Acidic Glavenus holds its own as an apex predator within the Rotten Vale, able to easily hunt smaller monsters such as Raphinos and Great Girros. However, it has to deal with other apex predators such as Odogaron, it's subspecies and Tigrex, while invaders such as Savage Deviljho and the Elder Dragon Vaal Hazak can be really dangerous to an Acidic Glavenus.

Biological Adaptions[]

Acidic Glavenus' most notable adaption that sets it apart from the main species is its tail. The tail is lighter and more resembles a Long Sword, and because of this, it is able to attack quicker and use more gracile moves reminiscent of its weapon counterpart. When the tail dulls it will grow an acidic compound that covers the entirety of its tail. This acid will lower the toughness of whatever it is fighting, and can be thrown off at opponents during some of its attacks.

Behavior[]

Due to living in the hostile Rotten Vale, Acidic Glavenus are very aggressive towards whatever they may come across. Oddly enough, there are no records of an Acidic Glavenus scavenging despite its habitat, only of it hunting other inhabitants of the Rotten Vale.
