Espinas Subspecies is a Flying Wyvern introduced in Monster Hunter Frontier Season 2.5. It is known to inhabit the Tower and can be encountered beginning at HR51. 

Physiology

Espinas Subspecies features a brown carapace with red spines, claws, and horns. When enraged, its body is covered in glowing orange veins. It is otherwise identical to the common Espinas.

Abilities

Espinas Subspecies is capable of producing larger and more powerful bursts of fire than the common Espinas, and is more resistant to damage. One of its most noteworthy abilities is to launch a large fireball at its feet which explodes into a massive fire storm covering a large radius.

Behaviour

Similarly to the common Espinas, it is a docile and passive Wyvern which will only attack when provoked. It sleeps for much of the day, and is usually encountered in this state.

Habitat

Espinas Subspecies is known to inhabit the Tower, where it resides in solitude at the very top. In addition, it can be found in the Gorge.


Other Non-Subspecies Forms

Hard Core (HC) Espinas Subspecies

SR51+ required to hunt.

Members of the Espinas Subspecies with longer, more developed spikes down the middle of its back as well as more spikes on its wings, all with a white tip including the horn. They are more aggressive and more vibrant when enraged as their veins glow an unusual green.

Like HC common Espinas, they have the ability to charge at incredible speeds, scratching the ground as the only warning. A new attack they perform is ducking down while charging up a giant fireball similar to the ones they make huge explosions with, only it spits it into the sky, which bursts into multiple balls that rain on its enemies with incredible precision aimed at up to four targets at once.
