“	Its long, elastic neck stretching out while it clings to a wall or the ceiling is a sight straight out of a nightmare. Make sure you do not get overwhelmed by its horrific appearance.	„

Khezu are Flying Wyverns introduced in Monster Hunter.

Physiology

Khezu are large, pale Wyverns with a flabby, rubbery hide which they constantly keep damp, similar to that of an amphibian. Many of their blood vessels and veins can be seen through their pale skin. Their tail features a specialized orifice which bonds to the ground during electrical attacks and helps them cling onto cave ceilings. Their mouth features rows of sharp teeth similar to that of leeches. Khezu feet lack claws, and instead have suction pad-like toes to assist them in climbing and hanging from cave walls and ceilings. Spending most of their lives in the dark, their eyes have regressed greatly, though they make up for this with a superb sense of smell. A layer of fat helps to keep them warm and prolong the time they can spend hunting for food. Khezu have an extendable neck which allows them to grasp and ambush prey from afar, such as from a cave ceiling. Khezu are hermaphrodites, which means an individual is both male and female. To reproduce they paralyze a creature and inject their young, known as Whelps. The Whelps grow inside their victim until it dies, or when they are strong enough to leave.

Behavior

Although Khezu are cave dwellers, they go out when they please, or when food inside grows too scarce. While Khezu outside a cave are vulnerable to larger Wyverns like Tigrex, inside caves Khezu have the advantage. In addition to being unhampered by the dark, they can cling to the ceiling and attack from above.

Habitat

A Khezu's habitat is often located near active sources of water; some sources claim this is because the water is excellent for conducting electricity into their prey, while others speculate that Khezu may need the dampness for their moist skin. Such areas include the Swamps and Frozen Seaway.

Other Non-Subspecies Forms

Hardcore (HC) Khezu

HC Khezu's appearance is only slightly different from its standard counterpart; its backbone protrudes more, and blue veins can be seen all over its body.

HC Khezu's electrical attacks are much faster and more powerful than a standard Khezu, and reach farther as well. It can also crawl on the ceiling much like Gigginox.

Hunting Tips

“	The Khezu will cling to walls or the ceiling to unleash its electric attacks from above. Use Wiredash to get to it and knock it down, or exhaust it to weaken its electricity.	„

General Notes

• A Khezu's tail has a suction cup-like hole with six protrusions lining its rim. They use it to attach themselves to cave ceilings, and to ground themselves when performing an electrical attack.
• As shown in the Ecology video, the flabby hide of a Khezu is covered in a thin, wet liquid-like membrane. Its purpose is unknown.
• The saliva of a Khezu has strong acidic properties that can melt the floor of caves and Stun hunters.
• Khezu's roar requires HG Earplugs to block.
• Prior to 4th Gen, Khezu and its subspecies are the only Large Monsters in the Monster Hunter series that do not activate the "Yellow Eye" status on the hunter when engaged. This could be considered a disadvantage due to the fact that it does not allow a hunter to do a panic dive to avoid attacks. No background music plays, even for sidekick monsters, e.g. Giadrome.
• In the Khezu Ecology cinematic, it is seen preying on a Kelbi.
• Khezu is highly tolerant against Paralysis; it is only stunned for 5 seconds. As such, Pitfall Traps are better than Shock Traps.
• Khezu was voted 32nd place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.

Monster Hunter Freedom

The Village four star quest called "Fang of the Iodrome!" a Khezu appears in it. There is a glitch where if you engage the Khezu, the background music will play.

Monster Hunter Freedom 2

The Khezu gained the ability to leap out at the hunter while generating its signature electrical field.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

It gained a thunder bite, and an improved thunder blast where it shoots out more thunder balls than the normal move; this is highly predictable because a bolt of electricity runs across Khezu's mouth when charging the attack.

There are Quests that require the hunter to slay or capture tiny Khezus. These Khezus are perhaps Khezu Whelps who are strong enough to leave the carcass in which they were born. The tiny Khezus have a high pitched voice, due to their minuscule size. Their roars are notably shorter, and leaves the hunter incapacitated a bit longer.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

When enraged its veins will begin to throb.

When low on stamina it will fail to shoot its lightning balls, produce its lightning shield, and recover from attacks.

Its face and its body can be broken and scarred.

It can be infected by the Frenzy Virus.

In G-Rank, when it releases a lightning shield, it can do a second one that covers a much wider range in a web-like pattern.

Monster Hunter Rise

In High Rank, when enraged, Khezu can perform the advancing ground electric ball spit twice in a row.

Khezu's torso is no longer breakable. Both its legs are breakable instead.

• Breaking one of Khezu's legs will cause it to fall over. Repeated damage on the broken legs can topple Khezu.

Khezu can appear in the rampage. It is considered a Gate Crasher type.

In Master Rank, Khezu gains some new attacks.

• It gains an attacks where it extends its neck and lays it on the ground before sweeping it across the ground.
• Khezu gains an attack where it can spew multiple electric balls into the air. When enraged, it will do this attack twice in a row.
• It can do a roar before quickly hopping backwards to do different attacks depending on how far its target is.

Monster Hunter Frontier

Khezu whelps are pickled and used as cooking ingredients.

Khezu can be a pet.

HC Khezu's roar requires Super HG Earplugs to block.

This monster is unlocked at Level 25.

Khezu's torso can be broken.
