Great Jaggi is a Bird Wyvern introduced in Monster Hunter 3.

Physiology

Great Jaggi's distinctive feature is its frill and the lavender scales with the crimson and tangerine overrides on the frills and the abdomen part, but also the furs that grow on its neck and along the back down to the middle tip of the tail.
Great Jaggi's muzzle are particularly thinner and much more wrinkly than the other Bird Wyverns. While the tail has some barbs on each sides, they are notably blunt and definable even used for its tail whip attacks.

Abilities

Great Jaggi, along with the Great Baggi, may attack other boss monsters instead of focusing solely on the hunter, indicating a highly competitive and intelligent demeanor. It can also call its pack of Jaggi to its aid at any time with a loud, resonating roar. Being a larger and more powerful dominant male of Jaggi and Jaggia, it is considered by players to be the boss of these monsters. Its alpha status is much more prominent than that of previous Dromes, as it features many of the characteristics of full-fledged boss monsters — the ability to become enraged, limping when weak, and having a breakable part. One should note that the Great Jaggi can be summoned by the Qurupeco at the Deserted Island, Sandy Plains and the Misty Peaks.

In-Game Description

The Great Jaggi is the head of a Jaggi pack. At a certain age, males leave the pack to live on their own for a period of time before returning to fight for the right to be a leader. They have a very commanding presence. It is said they can call and give complex orders to their pack with their howls and barks.

Notes

General Notes

  • Great Jaggi has two different roars. Its first roar sounds like a the call of a howler monkey, and summons Jaggi to the area. Its second roar sounds more like a howling wolf, and will cause any Jaggi and Jaggia in the same area to gang up and attack the hunter.
  • The Great Jaggi will always be accompanied by at least two Jaggi. If they are killed, the Great Jaggi will call two more Jaggi to its side.
  • If the Great Jaggi does not notice a hunter, and there are Aptonoth in the area, it may attack and kill them, though it will not eat them.
  • Great Jaggi participated in four monsters' opening scenes (Its own, Qurupeco in P3rd, Qurupeco in Tri and 3U and Deviljho's in 3U) and 3 CG scenes (MH Tri opening, 3U's opening and Barroth Ecology)
    • Its younger form, Jaggi, was featured in the same scenes. However, Jaggi is also seen in more scenes, such as Qurupeco Ecology and some intros, including its own.
  • Great Jaggi will sometimes lead its minions to battle with other monsters. This is also exhibited by Great Baggi and Great Wroggi.
  • When Great Jaggi is enraged or howls an attack order, (the one that sounds like a wolf's howl) smaller Jaggi will jump around frantically and chaotically and surround the hunter and attack the hunter similar to their sleep-inducing cousins the Baggi.
  • Great Jaggi can often clear large groups of smaller Jaggi with its tail swing.
  • Great Jaggi is a default Monstie given to every earned Rider character in Monster Hunter Riders.
  • Great Jaggi was voted 68th place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.[1]

Monster Hunter 3

  • Great Jaggi will occasionally attack large boss monsters such as Rathalos if in the same area.
  • Great Jaggi recovers stamina by eating from a bone pile and the remains of a dead Aptonoth in the Jaggi nest area.
  • Great Jaggi are one of several boss monsters who cannot have their tails severed, along with the Great Baggi, Qurupeco, Gigginox, Ceadeus, and Jhen Mohran. However, Ceadeus and Gigginox can have their tail damaged.

  • Monster Hunter Portable 3rd

  • Great Jaggi returns. It is largely unchanged, although it can now be found in the new Area, the Misty Peaks.

  • Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

  • Great Jaggi also makes a return with no significant changes, except in G-rank where it is twice as fast.

  • Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

  • Great Jaggi, along with Monoblos and White Monoblos are the only large monsters in MH4U (excluding Elder Dragons, variants, and Rare Species) that cannot be infected by the Frenzy Virus.

  • Monster Hunter Explore

  • Even with the game saying that Great Jaggi has the thunder element, it doesn't seems to use any elemental attack.

  • Monster Hunter Stories 2

  • Great Jaggi is a Technical type monster.
    • Opposing Great Jaggis turn to Speed attacks when enraged.
  • Great Jaggi is often accompanied by Jaggi and Jaggia, and can summon more in combat as reinforcements.
    • Great Jaggi is one of the few pack monster whose smaller monsters don’t reflect its own attack types. Jaggi uses Speed attacks, and Jaggia uses Power attacks.
  • Defeating the Great Jaggi quickly after using a Paintball on it will boost its retreat rate.
