| “ | A fanged beast whose warm pelt and thick layers of fat help it survive in cold climates. It has exceptional hearing as well. It can glide swiftly on ice to sneak up on prey. | „ | |
Lagombi is a Fanged Beast introduced in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
Physiology
Lagombi resembles a mix between a wombat, a bear, and a rabbit. Its ears are long and highly sensitive, and its face features a beak-like mouth along with small red eyes. Lagombi's belly is made of a low-friction material and is shaped so that it can slide upon the ice like a sled. It is covered in a thick fur coat to keep it warm in its sub-zero homeland.
Abilities
Lagombi has superb hearing in order to remain aware of predators. Fortunately for hunters, that also leaves it vulnerable to loud noises, such as Sonic Bombs (similar case with Yian Kut-Ku). It attacks by throwing chunks of ice, swiping with its claws, and sliding around on its belly in order to ram foes. To traverse from area to area it slides on its belly much like a penguin. In Monster Hunter 4, Lagombi is given 2 new attacks, including a jump attack followed by a roll, and the ability to throw a chunk of ice straight up to hit climbing hunters.
Behavior
Lagombi is relatively docile, but will respond with aggression when provoked or threatened. It is evidently an insectivore, as it enjoys feeding on Bnahabra.
Habitat
Lagombi has uniquely evolved to thrive in icy environments like the Tundra, Frozen Seaway and Frost Islands.

Hunting Tips
| “ | A Lagombi has very sensitive hearing, and Sonic Bombs will cause it to flinch in pain. Time a well-aimed throw for when it's sliding around, and you may topple it. When enraged, however, Sonic Bombs have no effect on it. | „ | |

Notes
General Notes
- Lagombi's name is derived from the Greek word lagos, meaning "hare", while the -mbi part was added by the localization team as a way to give the name a cuter sound.[1]
- Lagombi's ears can be broken once.
- Like Yian Kut-Ku, Sonic Bombs will be useless while enraged.
- If a hunter throws a Sonic Bomb while Lagombi is sliding, it will crash.
- When low on stamina, Lagombi will fall, sometimes after sliding on the ground. Otherwise it will try to slide away.
- If it is low on stamina near a Bnahabra nest, it will dig up food hidden safely under the snow.
- Once Lagombi is weak, it will leave an area by limping rather than sliding.
