Onyx Cerambus

Onyx Cerambus is a Subspecies of Cerambus appearing in Monster Hunter Venture.

Physiology
As the subspecies of Cerambus, Onyx Cerambus resembles its Thunder-wielding relative greatly. The key difference is that whatever is blue on Cerambus is a dull brick-red on Onyx Cerambus, and instead of quills it posseses coal-black spiky ostoderms. Further differences can be seen on its head, as its horns curve forward and up rather than forward and down. The same coal-black material of its ostoderms can be seen covering its head, and this is what gives it its name of Onyx Cerambus. Onyx Cerambus also has a thagomizer at the end of its tail rather than a cluster of quills.

Abilities
Onyx Cerambus wields the same combination of aggression and speed of its relative Cerambus, although it lacks the electricity-storing abilities of the latter. In place of this, it has even greater strength, and it uses this along with its curled horns to lift and throw explosive boulders. Onyx Cerambus can also breathe short-ranged blasts of fire from its nostrils and create waves of heat with its stomps.

Attacks
Onyx Cerambus has all the physical attacks of a regular Cerambus
