Pitch Baruragaru

The Pitch Baruragaru is a subspecies of the Baruragaru introduced in the "Monster Hunter Destiny: Halloween Edition" expansion pack. It isn't as versatile as its pale cousin, but it is able to spit tar as a defense mechanism.

Its hide is pitch-black, hence its name, but its eyes, fins, and membranes are the same color as the regular Baruragaru.

English: Pitch Baruragaru

Japanese: Baruragaru Ashu

Latin: Sanguis bibentis nigroleum

In-Game Information
As if the Baruragaru wasn't bad enough, this subspecies blends in with the dark and ambushes prey from the shadows. Its strange metabolism converts the blood it drinks into oil, which it spits to trap its foes.

Land Phase
Slip n' Slide: Suddenly slithers forwards at a fast pace, then brings itself to a halt.

Underground Pounce: Wiggles its body, and then slowly sinks under the ground. After a few seconds, it will jump out and attack.

Neck Swing: Similarly to Deviljho, it will rear its head high before advancing forward, swinging its neck from side to side.

Tongue Whip: Curves its neck to the side, then whips its tongue out in a left-to-right arc.

Curling Twist: Curves its neck to one side, then executes a series of spins.

Tail Pound: Looks behind it while relentlessly stabbing the end of its tail into the ground.

Oil Blast: Raises its head up, then swings it in an arc, causing oil blasts to rain down around it. (Tarred)

Oil Beam: Raises its head while snapping its jaws, then lowers it and shoots a beam of black liquid in front of it. (Tarred)

Oil Fog: Sticks its tongue out and slowly waves its head around, then ends up with its neck and tail curled up in an S-shaped position. It then extends its head and tail while releasing black fog from its body. (Tarred)

Oil Bursts: Performs an animation similar to that of its Oil Fog, but with its head held high. Then it belly-flops into the ground, shooting several blasts of oil out of its sides. (Tarred)

Pin Spin: Does a quick 180 degree spin, then twists itself into its original position and drains its target. Cannot be broken out of with a Dung Bomb. (Pin)

Tongue Jab: Lowers its head and very quickly shoots its tongue out in front of it, pinning the target. It then proceeds to drain its victim. Sometimes, it will do this three times in a row, with no pin. Cannot be broken out of with a Dung Bomb. (Pin)

Whipping Knockdown: Slowly rears its head way up and raises its leg, then unleashes its tongue to create a "barrier" that knocks everything into the air around it. It then pounces on the nearest target and proceeds to drain it. Cannot be broken out of with a Dung Bomb. (Pin)

Roar: Wiggles its head around, then opens its mouth and howls deafeningly. Can be blocked with Earplugs.

Water Phase
Double Bite: Swims forward while snapping its jaws twice.

Tail Snap: Performs a wide bite to one side, then snaps its tail back behind it.

Hip Check: Curls up in the water, then slings itself sideways and smashes the target with its body.

Upward Tail Snap: Rears back a little, then sweeps its tail upwards, creating a heavy current.

Torpedo: Casually swims around the area for a few seconds, then curls up and charges forward with great speed.

Curling Twist: See "Land Phase".

Tongue Whip: See "Land Phase".

Oil Blast: Rears its head way back and opens its mouth, before ejecting a ball of oil from its mouth. The projectile hangs around in the water for several seconds. (Tarred)

Oil Beam: See "Land Phase". Oil residue will hang around in the water for several seconds. (Tarred)

Tongue Jab: See "Land Phase". (Pin)
