Notes
General Notes
- The inspiration for Barroth came from observing the "movement of bulldozers on a construction site". [1]
- Barroth is the first Brute Wyvern encountered in Monster Hunter 3.
- The Guild Sweetheart says that a blunt weapon, such as a Hammer, must be used to break off Barroth's head ridge. It's not required to use a Hammer in order to do so, but due to the fact that the head crest is hard bone, it's much easier with a Hammer. Hammers are the only weapons capable of not bouncing off Barroth's head if under blue sharpness (unless the Mind's Eye skill is activated, or the Hunter is using the Spirit Slash on a long sword). She may just be hinting to the player of this mechanic.
- The Barroth is the only Monster in both Monster Hunter Tri and Monster Hunter Portable 3rd capable of inflicting "Muddy". In Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Rust Duramboros was introduced, which also has this ability.
- When its head is broken while covered in mud, Barroth may drop a shiny in the same spot where its head piece falls.
- Barroth will throw fewer mud chunks when coated in less mud.
- The usual Barroth takes more time to recover after a charge, even when enraged. However, it is now able to use a hipcheck, much like Uragaan and Deviljho.
- In the arena, Barroth can not regain its mud.
- When Barroth is enraged, it moves faster. It also chains its bite with a charging bite, like how Great Wroggi and Great Baggi do.
- When in the same area with a Great Jaggi, the Barroth will sometimes be attacked by the Great Jaggi and Jaggi.
- Even though Barroth is not in Monster Hunter 4, you can get it's armor by trading monster parts for Barroth parts.
Monster Hunter 3
- Barroth is sometimes summoned by Qurupeco. However, a Barroth can only be summoned in the quest "Hunter Killer".
- Barroth is the first hunting quest monster whose roar will cause the hunter to temporarily cower.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
- Barroth is able fling mud behind him after a charge in G rank. However, it can't do this when low on stamina or when its head is broken.
