Empala - The Volcano's Pride

I've seen other people make their own Monster Hunter monster, so i decided to make one. Recently i made a monster called the Zurridios, look it up sometime :D, Anyways...

I have been playing monster hunter since it was first created, i love the game, so I've been thinking of lots of cool monsters, weapons, and armor thats could be introduced in Monster Hunter 5 or whatever :D

So....You know, HERE IT IS!!!

Empala: ( Em-paw-law)
The Empala is a monster based on prideful animals, such as tigers, lions, and wolves. When I first created the Empala it was supposed to be a lion, but I decided to make it a hybrid lion/bear. The Empala is classified under more than one monster class such as Pelagus or Fanged Wyvern, but between the two, the Empala pulls towards the Fanged Wyvern class. Like the Zinogre, the only other Fanged Wyvern, the Empala is swift and has a barrage of attacks as well as its on charge attack.

The Empala in its brutish vigor, preys on anything it sees, including monster twice, or even five times its side, such as the Duramboros or the Deviljho, in some cases the Empala is even more brutish than most Brute Wyvern. It inhabits the Volcanic regions, but will sometimes migrate to a new region called "The Pride", a massive rock thats peak is perfect for basking in sunrays and looking over the landscape. The crystals on the Empala's body are usually only used when it enters Rage Mode or Pride Intimidation status, but are very tough and provide good defense for the Empala's crystalized areas. The Empala's senses are very keen, its eyes, ears (hidden by crystals), and nose are its greatest assets when hunting, but you know, its huge titanium like claws help too. Dung bombs, Flash bombs, and Sonic Bombs are helpful when fighting the Empala, but when thrown in a specific order (that changes each time) it will go into Pride Intimidation status (read on for definitions). The Empala is another double element monster ive created, it uses Dragon and Fire elements and can only use them seperately, but in Rage Mode and Pride Intimidation status it emmits a mixture of both elements, giving birth to a new power, Chaos element. When hit with a Chaos element attack there is a small chance of being inflicted with Chaos blight, an extremely dangerous form of blights that not only damages the hunter but they're equips too. Chaos blight causes weapon sharpness and shell attack to decrease to the previous tier every 5 hits ( now requires 2 whetstones to improve sharpness), it also causes stamina and health to decrease rapidly. Lynians and other helpers are effected even more. Getting hit by the Empala's tail has a higher of inflicting Chaos blight. The Empala seems like an intimidating enemy, but it is a lot like the Zinogreor the Nargacuga, except a lot more agressive.

But with all these advantages, you start to think about its weaknesses and disadvantages. First off, its prideful instinct causes to focus on one prey, if it focuses on an another monster in the area or your Lynian or other companions, then it gives you rare opportunity to attack it off guard. Breaking its crystals is a good way to avoid Chaos blight, although you can't completely stop the flow of Chaos and will still be inflicted on occasion. If you do manage to break a vital crystalized point, it will cause the Empala to explode with Chaos, inflicted anything in a small area ( including itself) with Chaos blight. When blighted, the Empala will stagger around and shred anything it can still sense, its defense is lowered, but unlike with your blight, its attack increases (if blighted the Empala can only lose a max of 200 health). The Empala will also tire quicker while in Rage Mode or Pride Intimidation status.
