Crystalbeard Uragaan are Deviants of Uragaan introduced in Monster Hunter Generations.

Physiology

Crystalbeard Uragaan possesses a near identical body shape to the normal Uragaan, yet has a different coloration. With an orange-red body, it blends in well with its fiery, volcanic habitats. In contrast to its overall orange hue, this gem-clad Deviant has shiny, blue-ish purple minerals protruding from certain areas on its body. These gemstones can be found jutting out of its tail and chin.

Abilities

Crystalbeard Uragaan has the same movesets of their relative, Uragaan, but with minor changes. Occasionally, they will throw a crystal-like rock on the ground from their tail to release sleep gas at hunters. These crystals can also be mined, however.

Similar to Deviljho, Crystalbeard Uragaan can fling rocks at enemies with its chin.

Behavior

Crystalbeard Uragaan are truly dangerous monsters. Hunters are required to have a special permit in order to hunt them.

Habitat

Crystalbeard Uragaan only live in volcanic environments.

General Notes

• According to an interview, the development team wanted to give Crystalbeard Uragaan a different appearance that reflected its beauty, in a treasure kind of way. They wanted to keep its concept like the other Deviants, however, the team added an additional theme to this monster: Getting rich!
  • It is suggested that they wanted this to be a Variant of Uragaan at first, but instead made it a Deviant due to wanting it to be a real threat, despite its strange mechanic.
  • In the end, Crystalbeard Uragaan was given the ability to throw mineable ores to make it different enough from the other Deviants.
• Crystalbeard Uragaan was voted 199th place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.

Monster Hunter Generations

Unlike Uragaan, breaking the chin will cause it to fall off and become carvable.

• Impact damage is required for this.

Crystalbeard Uragaan throws explosive rocks at its enemies from its tail. Once these rocks land, they will slowly brighten up before exploding.

• Occasionally, it will throw a crystal-like rock on the ground that releases Sleep gas at regular intervals. These crystals can also be mined, however.

At higher levels, it sometimes hurls explosive rocks on its sides when it rolls.

Similar to Deviljho, Crystalbeard Uragaan can fling rocks at enemies with its chin.

Sometimes when it slams its chin, a small explosion will be caused by its chin.

Crystalbeard Uragaan's roar requires Earplugs to block.

Crystalbeard Uragaan can expel sleep gas even when enraged.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

Crystalbeard Uragaan uses G-Rank Uragaan's roll-to-chin slam attack.

G-Rank Crystalbeard Uragaan gains a new move where it performs the roll-to-chin slam while releasing giant explosive rocks. It also releases only sleep gas, not fire.
