Larinoth is a Herbivore introduced in Monster Hunter Generations.

Physiology

Larinoth is a distinctively big monster, compared to other Herbivores and even many large monsters. It possesses a great height, which is mostly attributed to its extremely lengthy neck. The tail is rounded and club-like, with spiked plating that runs along the back and up to the crest on its head. Said plating is nearly entirely green, and the underbelly is a creamy color.

Larinoth appears to be designed after a group of long-necked dinosaurs, the sauropods. Although not based on any specific genus, it actually has a body structure reminiscent to the Jurassic Brachiosaurus.

General Notes

• Larinoth's Japanese name, Rimosetosu (リモセトス), is derived from laimos (λαιμος) the Greek word for "neck", and cetus the Latin word for "whale".
  • Its English name keeps the Greek word laimos (λαιμος), but adds ocarina (referring to the monster's crest) and -oth, which was romanized from the "-osu" part of the Japanese name.
• Attacking a Larinoth while it is eating or drinking will cause it to drop a shiny.
