Eo Garudia is an Elder Dragon introduced in Monster Hunter Explore.

Physiology[]

Eo Garudia have the standard bodily structure for Elder Dragons. Most of their bodies are covered in a mix of white feathers and golden scales. They have black feet, red chests alongside the underside of their necks, avian-esque faces featuring piercing blue eyes, red markings, hooked down beaks, red tuffs on the back of their heads and a bit along their necks, and large red ears. Their last finger on their wings have a noticeable curve to them at all times, giving the last section of the wing an opposing circular curve, the wings also have some reddish-orange crystalline spikes of varying size on them. They also have ridged feather like structures on their backs where their necks start, forming a rounded structure. Running along their backs and tails are two red stripes, the ends of their long wide and rather flat tails also have large white feathers lining the sides. On the underside of the tail, as well as on the wings, are red structures with dark markings that form eye like patterns. In total there are five of these structures.

Abilities[]

Eo Garudia spends most of the time airborne. It excels at aerial combat, which it will glide across the area and use its wings and tail for sweeping attacks. It will occasionally make a soft and quick landing for lunging bites. It can do bite attacks and body slams when hunters are nearby. Eo Garudia can launch 2 large red crystals from its wings, then it makes 2 breath attacks to create wind tunnels that push hunters toward the crystals. After a while, Eo Garudia will look for spots to gather heat. As it spirals toward that location, it leaves smaller red crystal fragments within the wind tunnels. Once it has gathered enough heat energy, it will fly up high, forming a large quicksand and 3 wind tunnels that push outward. Then Eo Garudia exhausts the heat energy to make ancient pillars emerge from the sand.


Behavior[]

Eo Garudia is an aggressive though seemingly intelligent monster, utilizing its abilities to create traps, like wind tunnels forcing hunters to move quickly to avoid running straight into the dislodged explosive spines.

Habitat[]

Eo Garudia have only been sighted in the Great Desert.

Etymology[]

The name is derived from Eo for the "Sun" and Garudia for "Garuda."

Notes[]

General Notes


  • Eo Garudia needs to heat up 2 times to unleash the signature move.
    • When it heats up once, an aura of flame radiates from its torso.
    • When it heats up twice, the red structures on the wings, tail and the chest light up red, with the dark marks on the wings and tail turning a bright yellow. In addition the eyes turn white, and the flame aura becomes stronger.
  • While Eo Garudia has fiery effects when it heats up and unleashes the signature attack, its physical attacks and ancient pillars would not inflict Burn nor Blastblight.
    • The red crystals are the only source of Burn and Blastblight.
  • The projectile from its breath attacks does not inflict damage but simply exerts wind pressure.
    • The Caravan described the projectile as "It spits something like a block of air" (空気の塊のようなものを吐いてきたんじゃ) as seen on the concept art.
  • The head, wings, and tail can be broken.
  • Eo Garudia's roar requires HG Earplugs (Super) to block.
  • Similarly to Nef-Garmat, Eo Garudia appears to be based on an Egyptian God, in this case seemingly: Ra the Sun God.
