Khezu

From Monster Hunter - Wiki on Neoseeker

Game Description:Loathsome wyverns that live in caves. Near blind, they detect their prey by smell. They are capable of generating electric shocks, which they use to paralyse their prey.

Extra Description: The Khezu is a hideous, grey or red wyvern that lives in the Swamp or Snowy Mountains. It has no eyes, which logically means that it is blind. However its sense of smell allows it to track its prey. Its movements are slow, but if you get hit, chances are the Khezu will combo you to death.

Khezu's main offensive and defensive trait exists in the form of electric shocks. One, as a defensive move, is a large shield of electrical current that it will run over its body to ward off attackers. The next is a concentrated burst that can not only cause major damage, but stun anything it touches. In addition to these, in Monster Hunter Freedom 2, Khezu added the ability to generate its electric shield while tackling or leaping at prey, making it much more threatening.

Khezu's body also shows great elasticity, stretching its neck to bite or thrash at anything in front of it. It's also capable of emitting a high pitched wail that will render any unguarded hunters defenseless for a few moments.

Finally, there are two forms of Khezu, the Red and the White. Neither show any real distinction in attack patterns or general ecology, but red khezu have developed a resistance to the fire that the normal Khezu have. However, they lost the strength against water that the Khezu normally have in return.
