Monster Hunter Wiki

Black Gravios are Flying Wyverns and a Subspecies of Gravios introduced in Monster Hunter G.

Physiology

Although considered a subspecies, Black Gravios is actually a common Gravios whose shell has undergone a chemical change due to an abnormally high body temperature, making it closer to a Variant classification. As the name suggests, Black Gravios is covered in a black hide with red spines. They are also larger and heavier than the common Gravios.

Abilities

Black Gravios is more proficient in the use of its heat beam, thanks to its sturdier body.

Behavior

Far more aggressive than its grey counterpart, the Black Gravios will attack on sight. It will more commonly expel explosive gas than sleep gas.

Habitat

Black Gravios are known to inhabit swamps and volcanoes, where ore deposits are abundant. However they can also inhabit forests like the Everwood.

Hard Core (HC) Black Gravios

Much like HC Gravios appears to just be a older version of standard Gravios, the same goes for HC Black Gravios. Though unlike normal HC Gravios the insides of this monster are burning hot like magma to the bone and it needs to vent heat more often to keep its temperature in check.

It has all the attacks of normal HC Gravios and uses the super beam attack more often along with new attacks. New attacks include making use of the pores on its tail to release flaming hot gas and sleep gas in a tail slam attack and the amazing ability to keep its self in the air while flying using its beam aimed straight down like a rocket to keep its self in the air while spinning, ending with a body slam and releasing the heat from the ground that it beamed as magma from burning the ground. This odd ability makes it the only Gravios variation that actually uses its wings for an actual flying attack instead of a jump smash.


In-Game Description

Monster Hunter 4
グラビモスの亜種。その黒くて堅い外殻から”黒鎧竜”の異名を持つ。 通常種と比べて体内で発生する熱が非常に高く、より耐熱性を得る為に甲殻が黒く変色している。 豊富な熱量を体外へと放出する熱線は非常に強力である。
Threat Level (危険度): ★★★★★
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
A Gravios subspecies distinguished by a hard black carapace that allows them to contain their own extraordinarily high internal temperatures. They sometimes discharge this thermal energy as an extremely powerful heat ray.
Threat Level (危険度): ★★★★★
Monster Hunter Stories
This subspecies has a tough, black carapace. It is capable of discharging powerful blasts of heat.
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
This subspecies of Gravios has a tough black carapace. The heat that exudes from their bodies is far greater than that of regular Gravios, and is thought to be the reason for its darker coloration. They are capable of discharging powerful blasts of heat.

分类
飞龙种,铠龙亚种。

生境范围
栖息于火山深处,在沼地也有目击。

生态位
少数的铠龙个体会在体内产生异常多的热量,因频繁的排热动作导致外壳呈现出黑色,这些外壳黑化的铠龙被称为亚种——黑铠龙。

适应性
黑铠龙会将自己浸泡在岩浆中,因此黑铠龙的甲壳上裹着厚厚的块状黑色熔岩,如同火山外形一般的甲壳在坚硬程度上比原种要高很多。
黑铠龙甲壳上的熔岩温度非常高,偶尔碰上下雨天时,会在其周围产生大量的白色水蒸气。山一般大小黑色身影,漫行于白色浓雾中的景观颇为震撼。

行为
由于黑铠龙体内的热量要远超普通的铠龙,所以其射线攻击无论是威力上还是持续时间都要高于原种。

Notes

General Notes

  • Black Gravios are accustomed to using their beam attacks more often than their grey counterparts.
  • Black Gravios' roar requires HG Earplugs to block.
    • Its roar when becoming enraged only requires Earplugs.
  • Black Gravios was voted 139th place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.[1]
    • It tied with Gravios on 139th place.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

  • When low on stamina, it will fail to shoot beams, produce gas, and will take longer to recover from attacks.
  • Black Gravios gains a new super-beam that is fired downwards then upwards, with Black Gravios turning towards hunters for the second hit.
  • In G-rank, Black Gravios can shoot a heat beam while turning around and additionally launch heat flares at random targets while walking, releasing fire gas after every shot.
  • It can become infected by the Frenzy Virus.
  • Its back, legs, wings, and face can be broken for the first time. Its stomach can also be climbed on and attacked as well.

  • Monster Hunter Frontier

  • Black Gravios can be a pet.

  • Monster Hunter Stories 2

  • Black Gravios is a Power type monster.
    • Opposing Black Gravios’ turn to Technical attacks when enraged.
      • This makes Black Gravios a rare case where its attack types are identical to its regular species.
  • Breaking each part with a Big Barrel Bomb will boost its retreat rate.
  • Like the baby Black Diablos and baby Deviants in the game, baby Black Gravios is a paradox since baby Black Gravios should be Basarios.
