Agnaktor is a Leviathan introduced in Monster Hunter 3.
Physiology
Agnaktor is in many ways similar to Lagiacrus; both are quadrupedal Leviathans of similar size and body shape. It is noted for its remarkable ability to swim through lava and tunnel through solid volcanic rock (though the rock becomes far more liquid if you go a short distance down). Its body is covered in a lava-like armor which hardens when cooled and softens when heated. It has a drill-like beak which is lined with rows of needle-like teeth.
The Agnaktor closely resembles the Uroktor in essentially every way; the only real differences are the size of the Agnaktor and its ability to get magma to stick to its body. Even the ability to fire blasts of fire are present on both, though the Agnaktor is capable of unleashing a coherent beam.
Abilities
Its fighting style is similar to that of other Leviathans. It can charge at a hunter and "swim" straight through solid rock in order to smash into them and produce a powerful orange beam, highly reminiscent of the one produced by Gravios. Its skin is coated in lava armor that is usually orange-red, indicating that it is heated and vulnerable, but if it goes too long without using its fire beam or being physically exposed to heat, the armor will cool, and become black and hard. In areas with physical ceilings, it may tunnel through the roof as well as the ground.
Behavior
Agnaktor are quite aggressive, challenging all others that encroach on its habitat, due to the fact that it has no natural predators at an adult age. The only threat that it encounters is if a monster challenges it for territory or food.
Habitat
Agnaktor is found exclusively in the Volcanoes and Volcanic Hollow of the Old World. It is highly adapted to life there, and is at home among the lava pits and rocky slopes. It does not stray from magma- and lava-filled areas.

Notes
General Notes
- The English name Agnaktor is a direct transliteration of the Japanese name Agunakotoru (アグナコトル), which likely derives from Agni (Hindu god of fire) and coatl (Nahuatl for "serpent").
- When low on stamina, Agnaktor will fail to produce its Heat Beam.
- It will either sleep or prey on a Rhenoplos in order to regain stamina.
- Sonic Bombs will trap Agnaktor, much like Monoblos and Diablos. Tossing a Sonic Bomb instantly after it has successfully burrowed into the ground will trap it. Also, like the Monoblos and Diablos, it is immune to this effect during Rage Mode.
- When a certain part of the Agnaktor is wounded, and the lava broken off, that part will not cause weapons to bounce as much, even if the Agnaktor's other body parts have hardened.
- If a Flash Bomb is thrown in Agnaktor's face during its 360 fire beam, it will become stunned and will crawl out of the ground.
- Agnaktor, and its subspecies, have the largest amount of body parts that can be broken. These include their beaks, chests, fins, four legs (each one can be broken individually), and their tails (Broken, not severed). This adds up to eight total body parts broken, not including a severed tail.
- Hitting Agnaktor with a fire-elemental weapon or projectile will make its hardened armor soften up.
- Agnaktor's roar requires Earplugs to block.
- Some of Agnaktor's physical attacks resemble those of fellow Leviathan Lagiacrus, such as the slide, tail spin, hip check, double bite, and body slam.
- Agnaktor was voted 92nd place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.[1]

- Agnaktors turn to Power attacks when covered in lava, and Technical attacks when enraged.
- Small globs of lava show on their face in this state, but not the rest of the body unlike previous appearances.
