Ceratonoth are Herbivores introduced in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Physiology[]

The Ceratonoth is a quadrupedal, reptillian herbivore. They have yellowish-brown, overlapping scales across their back, similar to those of a pangolin and a long snout. Their tail hangs low and is covered in wide plates, with the shape of the tail resembles that of Gowngoats. The males possess three large spikes on their back and are darker in color.

Behavior[]

Ceratonoth normally appear to be docile, and often stay together in large herds of males and females. When threatened, they are quick to flee, but will sometimes still be caught by larger monsters, such as Doshaguma. When trapped in a thunderstorm, the males will use their spikes as lightning rods to disperse the electricity into the ground and protect their sizeable herds. Due to their slowness and docile nature, small birds sometimes perch on the backs of Ceratonoth.

Habitat[]

So far, Ceratonoth are only known to be found in the Windward Plains.

In-Game Description[]

Monster Hunter Wilds
Male Ceratonoth, known for their large herds. During sandstorms, they use their large spikes to channel any lightning strikes. This process sometimes causes fulgurite to form on parts of their bodies. A male responds quickly when a large predator attacks and makes an effort to lead his herd to safety.

Notes[]

General Notes

  • The name Ceratonoth comes from the Greek word kerato (κέρατο) meaning "horn", as well as keratin (which is what a pangolin's scales are made of) and the -oth suffix found in the names of other Herbivores.
