Useful Information

This monster attacks using fruit that it either throws or smashes onto the ground.

Some fruit may cause abnormal status conditions such as poison or paralysis, while others may blind its prey with a sudden flash of light.

In conjunction with its deft footwork, this monster moves in a variety of unique ways, such as when it stands on its tail and spins around.

As it is difficult to read its attack patterns, it would be wise to keep your distance and watch for the end of its attack before going on the offensive.

When it stands on its tail, you can send it toppling to the ground by breaking its tail, giving you an opportunity to attack. If you can break its tail before it takes this stance, it will immediately fall over upon trying to do so, creating an even larger opening.

Additionally, some of its attacks unleash wind pressure, so it is advisable to load up on wind resistance skills before hunting.
