Joshibatu

The Joshibatu is a new monster introduced in Monster Hunter Alpha Dos.



Physiology
Red Brute Wyverns that use crystals to attack. Their backs are commonly confused with Bachite crystal mounds. Because it is. It controls Bachite, which can be mined from its head, legs, tail, hands, and back. It covers the Skypeirce Peak in crystal during the night. When they punch the ground, shards of crystal scatter across the area and create crystal spears, that if the tips hit you, or you are hit by a shard, you will be affected with Crystalization. If you are hit by any part of it that is encased in crystal, this is another way to be affected by Crystalization.

Behavior
When hungry, their crystal parts will shatter, revealing what Joshibatu really looks like. It will eat Bachite crystals to revert to normal status. When enraged, its head crystal will turn lance shaped, and it will get a charge attack, which will cause Crystalization if you are directly hit, or if a shard of crystal hits you. Its hands will become sword-shaped, and takes the same idea from the lance, except it will slash at you instead, so this crystal is less likely to shatter.
