Hallowed Ceanataur

The Hallowed Ceanataur (Crustacea cucurrursus) is a rare species of the Shogun Ceanataur introduced in Monster Hunter Destiny's Halloween expansion pack. Instead of a Gravios skull, it wears a huge jack-o-lantern on its back. Instead of spines lining its scythes, it has actual blades.

Introductory Cutscene
Location: Haunted Grove Area 6

Synopsis:

Event Cutscene
Location: Haunted Grove Area 4

Synopsis: In the lonely field of Area 4,the hunter shudders at the sight of all, tall stone spires that look suspiciously like giant gravestones. As always, a mist is rising off of the ground and wrapping around the stones, making it hard for the hunter to see. But he/she can still hear something moving in the perpetual fog - a lot of somethings.

A clattering screech roars out across the graveyard, and the hunter stumbles in fear. He/she falls to the ground just in time, as a leech-like maw lunges at thin air just above him/her. A gigantic serpent explodes out of the mud right in front of the hunter, while what looks like a massive jack-o-lantern falls down to earth just behind him/her.

The hunter gets up and looks around at the crowd of monsters that emerge from out of the mist - a Boneknapper, Baruragaru, Gigginox, and Hallowed Ceanataur. One by one, they emit howls that dispel the mist and send shivers of fear down the hunter's spine, and the hunt to end all hunts begins.
