Gypceros is a Bird Wyvern introduced in Monster Hunter.
Physiology
Gypceros is among the largest and heaviest known Bird Wyverns. Its most notable features are the lamp-like crest on top of its head and a rubbery, shock-resistant hide. It has a long pink tail with a bulbous tip, and is a uniform blue-grey across most of its body. It possesses a poison sac which allows it to produce toxic fluids for use against attackers.
Abilities
Gypceros can use its luminous crest to produce dizzying flashes and temporarily disorient foes. Its elastic tail can extend and be used as a whip, and it can spit large globules of poison to intoxicate attackers. Due to its shock-resistant hide and flashing crest, it is immune to both shock traps and flash bombs.
Behavior
Gypceros is a naturally timid wyvern. However, it is rather intelligent and crafty, as evidenced by its willingness to feign death in order to draw a foe in for a surprise attack.
Habitats
Gypceros is usually found in swamps and marshlands, although it can occasionally be seen in jungles and open grasslands.
Other Non-Subspecies Forms
Hard Core (HC) Gypceros
HC Gypceros has poison stains on its face and oddly larger tipped tail and new behavior and attacks. It's able to spit poison that sits in place like a short pillar until it fades.
HC Gypceros is known to pull even more astounding fake outs than average Gypceros showing its intelligence in observing how hunters use status attack weapons. Its been seen to fake paralyzed and fake sleep along with its famed playing dead act.
It will chain these acts into combos with its attacks such as faking sleep then instantly starting a flash to blind hunters followed by a new long reach tail attack.

Notes
General Notes
- Breaking the Crystal on the head gives the chances of obtaining a Lightcrystal.
- Breaking this crystal stops the Gypceros from using its flash attack. After breaking the crystal, Gypceros will try flashing unsuccessfully.
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
- In G-Leveled quests of the monster, when a hunter breaks its crest and it tries to flash unsuccessfully, instead of the dizzying flash, it ignites a poison gas similar to the flaming gas that a Basarios uses to hunters.
- G-rank Gypceros' poison is more purple in colour and depletes health at a faster rate than ordinary poison.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
- Gypceros can run on and across walls in order to attack the hunter.
- It can become infected by the Frenzy Virus
- In the Sunken Hollow at Area 5. there are 3 dead Gypceros hanging from webs made from Nerscylla, confirming that Gypceros is Nerscylla's main prey.
- Gypceros sleeps in area 7 in the Sunken Hollow
- When low on stamina it will fail to spit poison and will fall after charging.
Monster Hunter Frontier
- It is known to eat meat placed on the ground.
- Gypceros can be a pet. Not very surprising it eats poison mushrooms and shiny objects.
