Blangonga is a Fanged Beast introduced in Monster Hunter 2.

Physiology

As the alpha-male of the pack, the Blangonga is twice as large as the average Blango with a much more aggressive temperament. Its strong, muscled limbs allow it to run and leap at a startling speed, and its powerful roar can catch hunters unaware without adequate hearing protection. It has larger fangs and a bald forehead appearing as a bump. It has two large whiskers and two large protrusions on the side of its nose.

Abilities

By calling out to its pack, the Blangonga can summon Blangos to fight beside it in battle. Its deadly speed can bewilder the novice hunter, as they can perform a dive that can send them rolling into their foes and deal out massive damage. Blangongas can break ice at their feet and hurl it at hunters to inflict a Snowman status, or break it into ice shrapnel that can send foes flying.

Behavior

Blangongas are incredibly aggressive creatures. They will ruthlessly attack hunters and prey, yet shy away from anything larger than themselves.

Habitat

Blangonga live in cold habitats. Their thick coat keeps them warm and serves as the perfect camouflage. It's mostly native to the Arctic Ridge, until it appears recently in the Iceshard Cliffs.

In-Game Description

Monster Hunter Freedom 2 / Monster Hunter Freedom Unite Leader of a Blango pack, it is twice as large and recognized by its giant fangs, whiskers, and head-crown. It sends its pack to attack any trespassers. Its jumping power allows it great mobility in its home range of the snowy mountains. Monster Hunter Generations Leader of a Blango pack, it is twice as large and recognized by its giant fangs and whiskers. It sends its pack to attack any trespassers. Its jumping power allows it great mobility in its home range of the Arctic Ridge. Threat Level (危険度): ★★★★ Monster Hunter Wilds Large, white fanged beasts that rule over other Blango, attacking intruders as a pack. Its muscularity and mobility allows it to strike swiftly, even on fresh snow, and pounce from a long distance—so hunters with long-range weapons still need to stay on guard. Large tusks are the mark of a powerful leader. Monster Hunter Frontier G (?) Monster Hunter Online 分类 牙兽种。 生境范围 在伊鲁法雪山地区大量栖息，肉食性的凶猛群居怪物。 生态位 在牙兽种之中，雪狮子被视为具有最强的协同性和群居本能，特别是领袖的威望尤其深厚，并且族群之中似乎存在某种“亲族”的纽带，这使得雪狮子之间具有类似“羁绊”的关系，同族极少发生血战，若是同时存在复数的强大雪狮子，其会根据实力进行排行，共同统治与守护族群。据说，整个伊鲁法雪山地区虽然具有多个雪狮子群落，但所有聚群都具有一个统一的“大头领”，当地的人们敬畏地称呼其“白王”。 适应性 雪狮子不仅能在雪地上敏捷地跳跃，而且能够潜入厚雪中并自由移动。覆盖全身长毛具有相当的硬度，不仅能够保暖，一定程度上能起到铠甲的作用，这也使得他们成为当之无愧的雪山强者。作为族群中的王者，他那硕大的体格和气派的胡须都显示出领袖的威严，那两根无法收入口中的巨大牙齿就是王者的象征，失去了牙齿就等于失去了王的地位。而获得这两根牙齿的猎人，则能够成就英雄的美名。 行为 雪狮子不仅具有牙兽种典型的强劲力量，头脑也非常聪明，懂得利用雪原的环境来伏击被他们认为“强大”的猎人。有足够的事例证明，雪狮子王会组织种群捕获猎物，雪狮子们向敌人投掷雪球、躲开攻击等动作，让他们看起来简直就像经过严格操练的士兵。 Threat Level (危険度): !!!!

General Notes

• Blangonga's fangs and tail can be broken.
  • The fangs can only be broken with Fire Element.
  • Breaking its fangs will also cause its Roar to become ineffective and it will no longer summon Blangos.
• Another weakness sign signalling a capture that a Blangonga shows is that, its cheek will turn from light blue to dark blue.
• To make a Blangonga drop a shiny, stay in the same area as him without being noticed. After some time, he will stop and dig the snow, dropping the item right after.
• Blangonga has the habit of 'cleaning/rubbing' his face, doing so will remove the tracking effect of a Paintball.
• When a Blangonga summons a Blango, the Blango has a new ability. It can throw snowballs or ice balls at hunters, but since it is the smaller version of the Blangonga's ice floor throw, it won't activate the Snowman status effect.
• Blangos summoned by a Blangonga disappear if the area is left and re-entered. However, Blangos that were originally there will remain unless killed.
• Blangonga's roar requires Earplugs to block.
• Blangonga's tremors requires Tremor Res +1 to block.
• Blangonga was voted 190th place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary. 
  • It shares this placement with Purple Ludroth.

Monster Hunter Generations

• Fire element is no longer required to break its fangs.

Monster Hunter Wilds

• Blangonga can be power clashed by blocking its arm sweeps.
  • Its animation having it push against the hunter's weapon is a near perfect copy of a similar action during Dos's opening cinematic, which was the direct inspiration for the concept of power clashes.
• It has a turf war with Hirabami.
• It can now inflict Frostblight, presumably to make up for the loss of the Snowman status.
• It gains a new sweeping ice breath.
  • Focus striking its rear during this attack will stagger it.
• Blangonga's fangs can now break twice.
  • Breaking its fangs no longer stops its ability to roar, but it will decrease the effectiveness of its ice breath.

Monster Hunter Frontier

• Blangonga can be a pet. It is shown that Blangonga will eat Amber Ore surprisingly.
• HC Blangonga's roar requires HG Earplugs to block.

Monster Hunter Online

• This monster is unlocked at Level 38.
