Monster Hunter Wiki

Crimson Qurupeco is a Bird Wyvern and a Subspecies of Qurupeco introduced in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.

Physiology[]

Unlike the normal variety, this subspecies is red and blue in color. The electric flints are unique to this subspecies.

Abilities[]

Instead of generating an explosion of fire, the flints spark together to create a large shock of electricity, capable of inflicting Thunderblight. This may be possible by using its unique wing talons and electrically conductive mucus. It is also capable of creating a bright flash, like Gypceros, to temporarily blind the hunter and any other monsters in the area at the time. Unlike the normal Qurupeco, this subspecies has a roar that requires the Earplugs Skill to block.

Its vocal sac is not clearly visible under normal conditions; however, it is apparent when the Qurupeco is performing a vocal. Like the original Qurupeco, this monster can give a heal or an attack or defense boost to the monsters around it. If interrupted during its song, either by a Sonic Bomb or dealing enough damage to the throat sac, Qurupeco's heal or boost can be applied to the hunters and their allies. One of its new abilities is a song which makes the monsters it summons instantly enter Rage mode.

Behavior[]

It also seems that it is larger and more aggressive than the regular Qurupeco. The Crimson Qurupeco is also known to call both the green and the regular Nargacuga.

Notes[]

General Notes

  • Crimson Qurupeco was voted 209th place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.[1]
  • It will generate a disorienting flash much like that of a Gypceros when it assumes a certain posture and after three "clicks."
    • If both flints are broken, it takes five "clicks" to create its flash, giving more time to hunters to evade or block it.
    • The flashes it generates also disorients nearby monsters, be they minions or boss monsters.
    • Crimson Qurupeco has a natural resistance to flash stuns.
  • Crimson Qurupeco can roar in the air much like Rathalos.
  • Crimson Qurupeco's roar requires Earplugs to block.
  • Crimson Qurupeco has the ability to summon more than one boss monster during a quest.
  • The Crimson Qurupeco can summon Wroggi, Ludroth, Bullfango, Great Wroggi, Brute Tigrex, Rathalos, Nargacuga, Green Nargacuga, Arzuros, Deviljho, Purple Ludroth, Pink Rathian, Duramboros and Stygian Zinogre.
  • Crimson Qurupeco can do a Stamina dance. When the monster is interrupted when doing the dance, it can give a boost similar to a Dash Juice.
  • In the event that the Crimson Qurupeco dies just before calling a monster to it's aid, the aforementioned reinforcement may ignore the call for help and will feed on the dead carcass of the Qurupeco.
    • Both Qurupeco species will attempt to summon the reinforcement monster even after said monster is captured or slain.
  • Crimson Qurupeco's icon displays it with blue vocal sac. This is highly inaccurate, as the actual Crimson Qurupeco has a red sac like the common species.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

  • There is an event quest where the Crimson Qurupeco is much smaller than normal, much like the individual mini monsters in previous Monster Hunter games (like Yian Kut-Ku and Khezu). In addition to that, it can call a tiny Uragaan, quite similar to the one from the Phantom Uragaan Event Quest in Monster Hunter Tri.
  • In G-rank, Crimson Qurupeco and its original counterpart can make hunters fall asleep.
    • If fatigued the Crimson Qurupeco will also fall asleep.
    • All other monsters in the same area will also fall asleep (not confirmed for Bnahabras), and all hunters and monsters will wake up at the same time.

  • Monster Hunter Stories 2

  • Crimson Qurupeco is a Technical type monster.
    • Opposing Crimson Qurupecos turn to Speed attacks when enraged.
  • Breaking its head with a Hammer will boost its retreat rate.
  • Even in the free demo, utilizing Monster Search at the Fly-only accessible cliff in Hakolo Island will tease an Ash Kecha Wacha, a Crimson Qurupeco, and a Green Nargacuga.
