Gendrome

Gendrome are Bird Wyverns introduced in Monster Hunter.

Physiology

Hunters can easily identify a Gendrome by their big crest and slightly larger size compared to a Genprey. The crest signifies leadership over the pack.

Abilities

With a pack to protect them and paralyzing fangs, they are a force to be reckoned with. Considerably harder than a Velocidrome, Gendrome pose a challenge to novice hunters. Quick attacks and high speed allow them to attack with surprising power.

Behavior

Gendrome are in charge of making sure their pack is kept alive and healthy. They choose which prey to hunt, and will often lead the attack. Gendrome will also actively patrol their territory alongside a handful of Genprey.

Habitats

They mostly inhabit the Desert, where their green-yellow scales serve as good camouflage. They have, however, also been spotted in the Swamp, Sunken Hollow, Primal Forest and Great Forest.

Monster Hunter Frontier

G-Rank Gendrome gains 3 new attacks including the ability to spit Paralysis-causing spit, the ability to release Paralysis-causing gas from its claws and leave it in patches on the ground and a combo where it jumps > spits mid air > then lands finishing with a uppercut that launches hunters.
HC Gendrome has the ability to spit large Paralysis-causing bombs that cover a wide area. However, it may paralyze itself when using the attack due to it always being within the bomb's blast radius. This may be the result of an oversight in the game's development.
Gendrome can be a pet.
