Gastodon is a Herbivore first introduced in Monster Hunter: World. These pack animals live in herds found around volcanic areas such as the Elder's Recess.
Physiology[]
Gastodon resembles a cross between a Hypsilophodon dinosaur and a bison. They are covered in scales but have large furry manes and horns reminiscent of a bison. When angered, they will glow red.
Behavior[]
Gastodons live in herds around the Elder's Recess. They are very aggressive towards hunters and are willing to attack larger monsters as a herd. These monsters become immediately hostile if the hunter gets too close. They have a tendency to attack other monsters as well. Despite their ferocity, they are preyed on by many predators in the Elder's Recess.
