Elderfrost Gammoth are Deviants of Gammoth, introduced in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.

Physiology[]

All Elderfrost Gammoth are females and the male counterpart are not seen. Elderfrost Gammoth appears to have a more bluish fur than regular Gammoth. The portions of red fur on her back have also turned silvery-white, although the reason for this is unknown. The bony plate on her scalp is also slightly different in shape: the plating on the sides of her head are now asymmetrical, and there is a large crack in the center of her scalp. Elderfrost Gammoth also appears to have larger, sharper tusks than a regular Gammoth.

Abilities[]

Unlike the regular Gammoth the Elderfrost Gammoth is able to coat its legs with ice and not snow, it can also now cover its trunk with ice. The snowballs it throws are also larger than those of a regular Gammoth.

Behavior[]

Like normal Gammoth, Elderfrost Gammoth is highly territorial and can be quite dangerous in certain places. This beast is said to able be to cause blizzards and avalanches in snowy regions from its immense strength alone. Due to this, hunters are required to have a special permit in order to hunt the Elderfrost Gammoth.

In-Game Description[]

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate
A Gammoth so gargantuan, ancient and strong that it may be mistaken for the foot of a mountain. Its great age and mountain home have given it the nickname "Elderfrost". Very few people have ever seen it fight, but it sometimes causes wild blizzards that race down the mountain and ravage the plains. Requires special permission to hunt.
Threat Level (危険度): ★★★★★★
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
These Gammoth Deviants have grown so immense that their silvery backs could be mistaken for the foot of a mountain. Vast plains frost over where they tread, and blizzards follow in their wake. The superstitious believe they are mountains themselves that have come alive.
