Bazelgeuse is a Flying Wyvern first introduced in Monster Hunter: World.

Appearance

Bazelgeuse is a large Flying Wyvern covered in thick, heavy scales with a bronze sheen. It has a bulky upper body and a large wingspan. Its underside is lined with protruding scales which fall off easily. The monster occasionally enters a "superheated" state, causing the gaps between its scales to glow red hot.

Behavior and Abilities

Bazelgeuse uses its scales offensively during combat. It is capable of dislodging them at will from its body and quickly replacing them. Once dislodged, the scales that drop on the field will act as similarly to land mines and will explode when struck by anything. However, once Bazelgeuse enters a superheated state, the scale will violently explode in a matter of seconds, causing concussive damage to all foes nearby. Bazelgeuse is capable of releasing a short-range blast of fire from its mouth, and will produce ear-piercing roars and bellows to disrupt its opponent. Its sturdy, muscular stature allows it to tackle and batter other monsters into submission.

Like most apex-level monsters, Bazelgeuse rules its territory with an iron fist. It will become hostile to any hunter or monster that crosses its path in order to assert its dominance. Endlessly aggressive, it will even actively seek out targets to battle with, and is generally assured victory when doing so. Bazelgeuse will actively seek out other monsters, usually flying in immediately after a hunter has engaged a large monster. It often starts fights with its bombing run attack, instead of roaring or even landing. Bazelgeuse has turf wars with Deviljho. This can often end in a tie, though regardless of the winner it is incredibly dangerous to be in the middle of one.

General Notes

• Its head, lower body, and both individual wings can be broken, and its tail severed.
• Despite being introduced in Monster Hunter World, a game that mostly takes place in the New World, it was noted that Bazelgeuse have also been sighted in the Old World.
  • Monster Hunter Rise marks the first time Bazelgeuse appears in an Old World area in-game.
• The official English pronunciation of Bazelgeuse's name, revealed in Monster Hunter Stories 2, is "Bah-zel-geese".
• Bazelgeuse was voted 52nd place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.
• The theme;The Invading Tyrant - Bazelgeuse of Bazelgeuse was voted among the top 10 music themes in the Hunters' Choice: Top 10 Monster Themes - Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary

Monster Hunter: World

Interestingly, Bazelgeuse's and Seething Bazelgeuse's explosive scales are capable of inflicting Blastblight only on other monsters. However, a hunter will instead be inflicted with Fireblight when hit by the same attacks.

Monster Hunter Rise

Bazelgeuse was added in Rise's first title update.

A quest to fight Bazelguese is unlocked at Hunter Rank 8.

• After this quest is completed, a new Bazelgeuse quest is unlocked and automatically completed which randomizes the location where Bazelgeuse is fought.

Bazelgeuse is faster in the air compared to its World incarnation.

Bazelgeuse's scales can stick to vertical surfaces similar to Seething Bazelgeuse.

Its bombing run attack covers a much wider area than before, enough to cover most or even the entirety of the smaller areas in the game.

As of the first title update, Bazelgeuse can appear in The Rampage. It is considered a Targetter type.

Sunbreak is the first game in the series to feature a Master Rank version of Bazelgeuse.

• In Master Rank, Bazelgeuse can perform an attack that looks similar to Seething Bazelgeuse's ultimate attack where it spins into the air while launching two rows of explosive scales before slamming onto the ground.
• It can perform the double tail smash that launches the bomb scales behind it with each smash.

Bazelgeuse is mediocre at anti-air defense, its only meaningful attack being a fireball shot.

• Rarely, while hovering midair it can lob 2 sets of 5 explosive scales up at its airborne target, though it is useless since they don't explode on impact.

Monster Hunter Stories 2

Bazelgeuse is a Speed type monster.

• Opposing Bazelgeuses turn to Technical attacks when enraged.

Bazelgeuse hovers midair after using Bombing Raid, which will make it use Explosive Landing next turn, unless a part is broken or a Flash Bomb is used to send it to the ground.

• Bazelgeuse is immune to Flash Bombs when enraged.

Like Deviljho, it will randomly invade on battles with a WARNING interruption (after Hakolo Island turns awry).

Bazelgeuse unlike other large monsters cannot be driven back to its den, and its eggs must be found via random chance.
