Barioth

General Notes

• Its tusks and wing spikes can be broken, and its tail can be cut off.
• When low on Stamina, the Barioth will be unable to use its icy blasts and will take time to recover from doing a triple charge. To recover stamina, it will feed on a Popo or Anteka.
• Barioth can reach any area in the Tundra except Area 5, and it only visits Area 1 if it is weak.
• When in Rage mode, its blue eyes turn red, although they leave no trace behind like Nargacuga's.
• Destroying Barioth's wings will affect its movement on the ice. The claws on its feet do not break, but the spikes on its forewings do break. When broken, it will spend longer recovering from most of its attacks and may sometimes slip on the ice, occasionally dropping a shiny when it does.
• Whilst entering a new area, if the Barioth notices a hunter, it will launch an aerial claw strike in mid-air.
• In terms of attack patterns, Barioth bears a resemblance to Nargacuga. Both prefer jumping over running.
• When in Rage Mode, Barioth's speed increases sharply.
• Barioth's roar requires Earplugs to block.
• After the introduction of Sand Barioth in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd and Frostfang Barioth in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, Barioth is officially the first monster in the mainline games with both a subspecies and a variant. NOTE: Diablos didn't gain the status because, despite having a subspecies in the form of Black Diablos, it lacks a variant, since One-Horned Diablos is NOT considered one.

Monster Hunter 3

• Barioth weapons are among the highest in terms of Affinity, from 20% to 55%. It should be noted, however, that Barioth weapons have considerably less affinity in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, ranging from 15% to 35%.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

• Barioth no longer leaps like Nargacuga. Instead, it only does its straight charge, at the end of which it, often stops and taunts, like at the end of its leaping charge.
• It gains a side attack. Barioth jumps besides a Hunter, then does a hipcheck. Sometimes, it will do this move twice in a row.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

• It is considered the apex monster of Hoarfrost Reach.
• It has Turf Wars with Banbaro, Fulgur Anjanath, and Legiana.
• Barioth now runs to change area, thus it no longer dive-bombs hunters present in the area while it still hasn't landed.
• When enraged, Barioth's eye will turn orange instead of red.
• It has a new move where it leaps into the air and slams down onto a targeted player with its fangs. Being hit will leave you downed.

Monster Hunter Frontier

• Barioth is an Exotic Species (遷悠種)
