Basarios are Flying Wyverns introduced in Monster Hunter.

Appearance

Basarios is a flying wyvern with rocky, moss covered carapace and the juvenile form of Gravios. Its hard, stone-like carapace, which is even harder than their adult form, is used for protection against predators, and double up as an effective camouflage when Basarios partially buries itself in the ground. Basarios is a slow mover due to its weight, and although it has wings, it rarely uses them to fly. Even when it does, its weight allows it to fly only for a short time.

Behavior and Abilities

Basarios is able to release either sleeping or poisonous gas from its underside and, on extremely rare occasions, a fire plume. It is also known to occasionally unleash a very powerful lava beam. It can also hurl balls of fire in a similar manner to Yian Kut-Ku, although it prefers to charge towards adversaries.

Basarios can burrow underground, exposing only its back, giving it the appearance of a large gray rock, camouflaging with the environment.

Hard Core (HC) Basarios

In Monster Hunter Frontier Online Season 9.0, a 'Hard Core' Basarios is introduced. They have a branch in one of the rocks on their back, bright blue eyes and purple stains around their stomach pores.

These unique Basarios can now fire 3 heat-beams in rapid succession, followed by a burst of poison gas; they can roll-over to try to crush the hunter, and emit poison at the same time; they can dig and partly re-emerge to spew a powerful ball of fire; they can also leap at the Hunter. Their normal fire-ball attacks are also now much improved.

General Notes

• Basarios takes 1.1x as much damage when underground.
• Basarios, along with Gravios, Bulldrome, Gigginox and its subspecies are the only monsters able to be flipped over on their backs when enough damage is done to either of their legs or by knocking them out with an impact weapon.
  • When knocked out, just like Gravios, Basarios will be flipped over on its back, where it will flail its wings helplessly, causing the wind effect.
• Basarios' tail is the smallest in the Monster Hunter world when cut.
• Basarios' chest can be broken once, and once this occurs the area becomes much more vulnerable to damage.
• Unlike the Gravios, Basarios has two horns.
• Basarios' roar requires HG Earplugs to block.
  • Its roar when becoming enraged only requires Earplugs.
• Despite its ability to hide, in most areas it is clearly distinguishable. This is because the rocks on its back are a slightly lighter color than other rocks, or because it has burrowed into plain view in the middle of the area.

Monster Hunter Freedom

The Basarios stays in only one area, Area 2 of the Old Volcano and Area 7 of the Old Swamp; it will never leave these two areas.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

High-rank or G-rank Basarios uses a higher caliber poison than a regular Basarios, should its stomach be broken. This poison drains health twice as quickly as normal poison would. One can tell when Basarios is using this stronger poison; the cloud will be a darker purple and contain poison bubbles within it.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

When encountered in the Everwood it is covered in moss.

Basarios' back can now be broken and mined for ore.

Its stomach can now be climbed on and attacked.

• This is only after Basarios's back is broken or when the Basarios is exhausted.

In G-rank, it gains new attacks:

• It makes some steps backwards during its tail swipes attack.
• It can spit three fireballs in a row from right to left.
• It can chain its charge attack into a roll.

Monster Hunter Rise

Basarios' head can now be broken.

The Basarios can now perform heat attacks to heat up its head and body.

• The head and the body can heat up separately.
• The heated body parts are more vulnerable to attacks for a short period of time.

It could perform the underground charge attack similar to the swimming attack from an Ukanlos.

• A hunter could throw the Barrel Bomb L while midair on the Basarios below during this to cancel the attack, leaving it stuck and open to attacks for a short period of time.

Basarios can appear in the rampage. It is considered a Gate Crasher type.

Monster Hunter Online

This monster is unlocked at Level 28.

Basarios' chest can be wounded, and its tail can be severed.
