Bewilderbeast

The Bewilderbeast (Vagentur immensitas) is a new species of Elder Dragon that controls the Ice element. In "Monster Hunter Destiny: Dragons of Berk", it was responsible for leading all the new monsters to the known world as it fled from the Screaming Death. It is known for its ability to summon other monsters to its side.

In-Game Description
The ruler of all northern monsters, this titanic elder dragon prefers a sea-going lifestyle to support its bulk. Similar to Ukanlos, the Bewilderbeast breathes frigid ice, but its size is on par with the Lao-Shan Lung. Dare you confront this bewildering behemoth on the battlefield?

Basic Information
Monster Class: Elder Dragon

Weakness: Fire

Element: Ice

Status Ailments: Iceblight, Frostbite

Habitats: Polar Zone

Behavior:
 * Cannot lose stamina
 * Cannot be captured
 * Drops an item when interrupted during its roar
 * Turns dark grey when enraged
 * Can be repelled

Physiology and Behavior
The Bewilderbeast is the strongest of all northern monsters, and is capable of summoning or controlling them with its roars. However, the one monster it is unable to command is the Screaming Death, which is a hazard to its kingdom and must be dealt with at all costs. Either that, or the Bewilderbeast must up and move from its chosen nest, taking its monster subjects with it.

This creature is an Elder Dragon, about the size of an Ukanlos and with similar abilities. Although its body is closer in shape to Lao-Shan Lung, it is able to breathe wicked streams of water that freeze instantly. It uses this to attack and form ice pillars that act as shields. Reportedly, it can use its ice breath to build up massive nests for its monster colony.

Mostly, Bewilderbeasts are loners, unless they find themselves in control of a monster horde. When enraged, their snow-white coloring turns to dark grey, as if reflecting their negative emotions. This is thought to serve as a warning to whatever dared anger it.

 * Description: I've seen lots of sea beasts in my day, but none like that, no sir! It was a massive white leviathan that breached the surface like it was mere air. I think it was heading to its lair, with a flock of monsters close behind it! Wherever it heads, destruction will certainly follow!

 * Description: I've seen unusual monster activity near the glacier. When I got there to investigate what I thought was some communal nest, I found a slumbering white titan! Its presence must have drawn the monsters toward it. My village is in danger as long as the beast stays in that glacier, so get it out of there!

Item Descriptions
G:
 * Bewildering Shard: The thickest of thick scales, snow-white in color. When exposed to anger, it darkens.
 * Bewildering Piel: Thick white hide that functions as cushiony armor. No natural weapon can get through it.
 * Bewildering Talon: A claw made more for swimming and climbing than for fighting.
 * Bewildering Feather: A fantastic plume the size of a Barroth. What could a mere human do with it?
 * Bewildering Surthorn: This thin thorn is sensitive to vibrations, and trills lowly when in a group.
 * Bewildering Thicktusk: My my, this tusk is bigger than most monsters! Used for battles over territory.
 * Bewildering Flail: This finned tail can smash through the largest glaciers. Nothing can resist its might.
 * Fine Bewilder Fin: This wing-like fin is incapable of flight, but helps the Bewilderbeast swim through the ocean.
 * Alpha Mantle: Shining with the radiant blue-green of the wild sea, this gem captures the Alpha's power over monsters.

A:
 * Bewilder Splinter: Impossible to forge with. This white scale's subzero chill douses any flame.
 * Bewilder Dermis: Too tough for any blacksmith to work with. It's a wonder how this skin was cut off in the first place.
 * Bewilder Carver: This sturdy claw is used for shearing through ice and plowing through water.
 * Bewildering Plume: A truly magnificent feather that rivals many monsters in size. The mark of a true alpha.
 * Bewilder Antenna: A group of these antennae put out a sonic tone that cause nearby monsters to become hypnotized.
 * Bewilder Duratusk: The most durable and powerful weapons in the known world, a tusk like this can smash anything.
 * Bewilder Beautifin: This beautiful fin came from either the back or the tail of the Bewilderbeast. Great for underwater propulsion.
 * Alpha's Oceamerald: This sea-green gemstone is the very picture of beauty. Said to be the source of the Bewilderbeast's great and terrible powers.

Attacks
Note: Whatever ice structures the Bewilderbeast creates will always crumble in two minutes.

Tusk Attack: Takes a slow step backwards, then points its tusks to the ground and rumbles forward at the speed of an Akantor. (Iceblight)

Tusk Smash: Raises its head high, then pounds its tusks on the ground, causing a large quake.

Trembling Footfalls: Roars and raises its head, and continues doing so as it continuously pounds all four feet as if throwing a tantrum. Causes small quakes with each stomp.

Sonic Trill: Stares straight at the target and spreads out its frill. The spikes on its face will begin to shake, and a sonic noise comes out from the creature. Can be blocked with High-Grade Earplugs.

Body Slam: Ridiculously slowly, the Bewilderbeast will rise up onto its hind legs for several seconds. Then, it crashes back down and creates an earthquake that deals damage from several feet around it.

Frost Breath: Inhales with a loud hissing noise, then opens its mouth wide and releases a gush of turquoise water at the foe, which turns into ice. When the attack is done, a large ice tower is created. (Iceblight, Frostbite)

Tail Swish: Raises its tail up high and roars in a threat display, then lowers the tail to the ground while beginning to turn around. It will stop for a second, then finish its turn while whipping its tail out from behind it, striking anything in a very wide arc.

Siege Tower: If there is an ice tower in the area, the Bewilderbeast will stomp toward it and raise its tail once it gets there. Then, it will smash its tail into the tower and shatter it, sending chunks of ice flying all over the area. (Iceblight)

Ice Wall: See "Frost Breath". This time, it will turn its head to the left while preparing to strike, and sweeps its breath to the right when attacking. A massive wall of ice will be created.

Summoning Howl: When enraged, the Bewilderbeast will get up on its hind legs similarly to Akantor or Ukanlos, then throw its head back and unleash a terrible roar. Then, three monsters of random species will fly down from the ceiling and swoop over the battlefield, spraying streams of fire over the hunters, before vanishing out the hole in the glacier. The Bewilderbeast can use this attack as long as it is enraged. Can be blocked with High-Grade Earplugs.
