A brute wyvern that wields its heavy blue tail like a blade. It grows hotter and more keen with each strike until it glows red.
- MHWI Description


Glavenus is a male Brute Wyvern first introduced in Monster Hunter Generations.

Appearance

Every Glavenus is male as the females are not seen. Glavenus is a large Brute Wyvern with dark red scales covering his body. Two rows of blue, bony plates run along his back, going from the eyes to the tail. His underside is more of a cream color. The unique feature of Glavenus is his huge, sword-like tail. The tail was originally the same color as his back plates, although it will turn a rusty color or a fiery red during the battle. His hind legs are powerful and muscular, while his arms are much smaller and mostly useless in combat. The face and jaws are covered in sturdy plating, particularly resembling the head of a Carnotaurus, though the arms and proportions are modeled after Tyrannosaurus.

Behavior and Abilities

Relentless and aggressive, Glavenus often drags its tail across the ground and roars at its foes, revealing the heat and fire glowing in its throat in an attempt to scare off enemies. Not only is it considered one of the strongest Brute Wyverns, it is even believed to be the most intelligent as well.

Glavenus is able to sharpen its blade-like tail in its mouth to scrape its tail off the soot and ores, making its tail blade brand new. When the tail blade is in the sharpened state, attacks using its tail will gradually heat the tail up, which in the end, turning the tail red hot. During this heated state, the attack power of the tail significantly increases, as well as creating explosion and fiery wave with its tail. However, after some time has passed, the red hot tail blade will cool down, turning it dull and rusty color, in which the monster will resharpen to restore the tail to its original property.

By sharpening its tail using its mouth, Glavenus will swallow the soot and ore, in which it is stored in an organ in its throat, called a Bursa, which heats up the ores inside, turning it into a magma-like substance that it can spit out of its mouth, which explodes after some time has passed. During this state, its throat area will glow red.

Habitat

Glavenus has been seen inhabiting deep forested areas like the Jurassic Frontier and Jungle, arid deserts like the Dunes and Desert, and volcanic areas like the Volcano and Volcanic Hollow. It can also be found wandering the Tower.

Notes

General Notes

  • Glavenus' Japanese name, Dinobarudo (ディノバルド), derives from dinosaur, noba (ノバ) which is Japanese for "nova", and haruberuto (ハルベルト) which is Japanese for "halberd".
    • Its English name derives from gladio (Latin for "sword"), fervens (Latin for "burning") and the suffix -saurus, often used in naming dinosaurs.
      • Other attempts for the English name included Ignagrios, Ardurox, Kalagrios and Dynigrus.[1]
  • Glavenus' concept was a Land-Based Rathalos.[2]
  • Glavenus' overall design was to give it the appearance of a glimmering flame.[3]
  • To make Glavenus different from other monsters, the developers chose to give its tail three phases; Sharpened, Heated, and Dull.[4]
  • Glavenus' arms and back can be broken, its head can be broken twice and its tail can be broken and then severed.
    • Glavenus' tail can only be severed when it is heated.
    • When Glavenus's tail is severed, it can deal damage to hunters if it lands on them.
  • When enraged, Glavenus' back spikes will turn red and red veins will glow on its legs. Smoke will also come out of its mouth.
  • When fatigued, it will fail to spit fire projectiles from its mouth. It will also trip after doing some of its tail-based attacks.
  • If its throat is attacked while it's glowing red, Glavenus will fall over and drop a shiny, and the throat will turn back to normal.
    • Rarely, Glavenus will attempt to pin down hunters like Deviljho.
  • Glavenus was voted 25th place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.[5]

Monster Hunter Generations

  • It will prey on Larinoth to recover stamina.
  • Glavenus's roar requires Earplugs to block.
  • In-game, the Glavenus encountered are always male.[6]
  • G-Rank Glavenus gains two new attacks: a slow and telegraphed but powerful tail slam, and a quick tail slam that follows from a side bite. It can also use its pin even when not tired.

  • Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

  • Glavenus has Turf Wars with Rathalos and its subspecies, Tigrex and its subspecies, Zinogre and its subspecies, Odogaron and its subspecies, and Diablos and its subspecies.
  • Glavenus can only spit lava after sharpening its tail with its jaws.
  • Glavenus' lava spit will leave behind a spot of burning material that deals continuous damage to hunters before exploding. This damage can be alleviated by wearing the Fireproof Mantle.
  • When it is enraged and its tail is red hot, Glavenus can slash either rightwards or leftwards after performing its tail slam attack. The direction in which it will attack can be predicted by watching the way Glavenus shifts its blade after the first impact.

  • Monster Hunter Stories

  • Glavenus egg fragments are obtained through fighting online players in the Albarax tournament under the MH Gen rule set, 3 fragments for a victory and one fragment for a loss. The more egg fragments, the higher the chance of hatching a Glavenus.
