Flickr "Wyverns feared as desert tyrants, which take their name from the giant horns that crown the head. The horns are put to lethal use with charging thrusts, and while the Diablos possesses no breath attack, its roar is loud enough to split human eardrums. Like the Monoblos, the Diablos charges its prey or strikes from underground, moving more quickly once it is angered. Extremely territorial, they attack invaders with blind aggression. Highly sensitive to sound, perhaps because they frequently travel beneath the sand. Known to feed on cacti." -- Hunter's Guild monster notes Reference image. And so, another MOC of a creature from the Monster Hunter video game franchise! After series mascots Rathalos and Rathian, Diablos is the other creature which wins the perfect attendance award ... or it would have, had it not slept in during the auditions for Monster Hunter 4 and missed that boat. Ah well. At any rate, it's still a popular monster which can often be found terrorizing hunters in desert regions and whatnot. Those horns aren't just for show, you know... Also an entry in the January Flickr contest. ~B~

Flickr "Wyverns that rule the eternally frozen Tundra. Barioth use their huge tusks and spiked scales to move freely atop the slippery ice; this ability makes them very difficult to keep up with." --Hunter's Notes, Monster Hunter Tri I have been wanting to MOC a creature from my beloved Monster Hunter for a while, and when BBC #67 was announced, I knew that I wanted to enter this guy. I'm very pleased that I was able to make one of my favorite monsters from the franchise. For those of you who aren't familiar with Barioth, here's an image of the beast from Monster Hunter Tri. If you aren't familiar with the Monster Hunter franchise, that's a shame, but it's essentially one of Capcom's biggest selling game series, at least in Japan. As for Barioth, he's basically a huge, armored, ice-breathing saber-toothed cat with wings. Is that awesome or what? ~B~
