Dinomaton

The Dinomaton (no Latin name) is a robotic monster featured in the expansion pack "Monster Hunter Destiny: Caliosteo Clash". It is thought to have come from a faraway world in order to conquer the planet.

In-Game Information
Terrifying monsters of the ??? class. They were made by strange, advanced technology and possess claws capable of ripping through steel. Thought to have been manufactured en masse as use for conquering entire worlds.

Basic Information
Monster Class: ???

Weakness: Fire

Element: Light

Status Ailments: Lightblight, Illuminated

Habitats: Tower, Ancient Spire, Far-Off Starship

Behavior:
 * Recovers stamina by standing still and recharging its energy
 * Sparks fly off of it when low on stamina
 * Unable to use projectile attacks when low on stamina
 * Eyes and claws glow bright red when enraged
 * Drops an item when knocked out of a projectile attack
 * Takes extra damage when knocked out of a projectile attack
 * When the claws are broken, its attacks will no longer cause Lightblight

Physiology and Behavior
Dinomatons are unlike any known monster in that they are entirely mechanical in nature. They are machines of war, used by a mysterious alien race to conquer territory that they wish to keep as their own. So far, these beasts have only been sighted in areas that humans have built.

They possess extreme defense thanks to their metal plating, but their innards are incredibly vulnerable. Their attacking power is also off the charts, and they can utilize a devastating array of close-range and projectile attacks at will. Unfortunately, their downfall is their tendency to run out of energy extremely quickly in comparison to living monsters. They must recharge for several seconds at regular intervals of approximately five minutes.

Introductory Cutscene
Location: Ancient Spire Area 10

Synopsis: The hunter enters the massive platform at the very pinnacle of the Ancient Spire, moonbeams lighting the area with their silvery illumination. It is the very picture of tranquility.

However, a buzzing roar peals out across the peaceful atmosphere, and the hunter whips around to see a mechanical monstrosity plummet down from the sky to face him/her. The creature stands up in a robotic manner, slowly towering to its full height before raising its claws and readying for battle. Colored lights flash on the creature's body, and a brilliant laser beam erupts from out of its mouth.

The hunter dodges, and the beam hits a passing Remobra, incinerating it into dust. Fully aware of the danger the Dinomaton represents, the hunter draws his/her weapon and prepares to fight to the very death against it.

Attacks
Steel Slash: Rears its claw back, then casually swings it in front of it. (Lightblight when enraged)

Ground Pound: Twists its claws so that they face sideways and out, holds them high above its head, then fiercely pounds them on the ground. (Lightblight when enraged)

Metal Sound: Throws its head back and displays its claws, then opens its mouth wide and shakes as if having a seizure. It produces a metallic whine that drains the hunter's health from close range and knocks them back from long-range.

Scissor Swipe: Lunges forward and swings its claws in a scissoring motion, cleaving anything in front of it. (Lightblight when enraged)

Sideswipe Claw: Takes a step forward and brings a claw to its chest, then violently swipes outwards with its claw while bringing its head down. (Lightblight when enraged)

Laser Beam: Plants both of its feet firmly on the ground, holds its claws close to its body, and curves its neck into a C-shape. Then, opens its mouth, charges energy, and releases a blinding yellow beam from its jaws. (Lightblight, Illuminated)

Death Ray: Holds its claws out to either side and pauses while rings of light radiate out in front of it. Then, brings its claws together while the rings begin to form a yellow ball of energy in the middle. When the claws meet the ball, huge lightning bolts blast out in front of it. (Lightblight)

Scissor-Sideswipe Combo: Performs a Scissor Swipe, then goes immediately into a Sideswipe Claw. (Lightblight when enraged)

Heartless Fury: Starts out with a Steel Slash, goes into a Ground Pound, and then ends with a Laser Beam. (Lightblight, Illuminated)
