Monsters Related to: Raging Brachydios

Physiology: Brachydios is easily identifiable by his glowing, green slime-covered horn and "fists," as well as his shiny, armored hide covered in many plates and ridges made of obsidian. Unlike other brute wyverns, Brachydios sports a pair of highly-developed forelimbs that he uses as his primary means of defense. Despite initial appearances, Brachydios does possess claws on his forelimbs that are tucked away underneath, and serve no apparent purpose in battle.

Behavior: He is very aggressive and will fiercely attack anything that he deems a threat. He is highly territorial and will often drive other monsters, like Agnaktor, out of his territory to make room for himself.

Abilities: Despute his size, he is known to run at attackers from a distance and is capable of jumping into the air as well. The forelimbs and horn of Brachydios are covered in a mysterious, green slime mold that he has a symbiotic relationship with. By slamming the ground or prey with his fists horn, Brachydios can deposit a puddle of this slime mold, which, once detached from his body, will undergo a powerful chemical reaction and violently explode. This slimenwill gradually run out, in which he can "prime" this mucus with his saliva to replenish it. The substance is also sticky, if a hunter gets this stuff on them, it will build up like a bomb and explode. Once he is enraged, various part on his body like the horn, forelimbs, and ridges along his body will glow bright yellow. Once that happens, the slim instantly explodes upon impact.

Why he is my favorite?
-in the third generation, Brachydios weapons and thr slim ability is broken.
-his weapons are useful, especially the dual blades against much powerful monsters in the later game.
