History Characters / MonsterHunterFourthGenerationMonsters

* RareRandomDrop: Red Dragon Mindstones in High Rank and Ruby Dragon Mindstones in G Rank. The Crimson Glow variant has Red Serpent Orbs in High Rank.

* ImAHumanitarian: It doesn't hesitate to eat its own kind even when young, and it has been known to cannibalize its young by accident due to it mistaking them for Neopterons.

A new type of Neopteron introduced in Monster Hunter 4, Konchu are pill bug-like monsters. Unlike most other small Neopterons, Konchu don't break into pieces once killed and can be carved for materials.

An electric Flying Wyvern that inhabits the Forest and Hills. It is generally hostile to just about everything around it, and can supercharge its body parts to increase its power. Unlike most Flying Wyverns, its wings resemble those of an insect (a glasswing butterfly's, to be exact). ''Generations Ultimate'' introduces the blue-bolt Boltreaver deviant.

An electric Flying Wyvern that inhabits the Forest and Hills. It is one of the four flagship monsters representing ''Generations''. Unlike most Flying Wyverns, its wings resemble those of an insect (a glasswing butterfly's, to be exact). ''Generations Ultimate'' introduces the blue-bolt Boltreaver deviant.

The FinalBoss of low-rank single player in ''4''.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Not the species as a whole, but compared to the rest of the [[{{Mascot}} Fated Four]], Gammoth is the only female. Doubly amusing since Mizutsune is the one described as "[[TheChick the female of the Fated four]]" in promotional materials.

* TheChick: It's described as being the 'female' of the Fated Four, although the developers mentioning that the ones encountered in the series are exclusively male.

A Leviathan adorned with many fin-like appendages. As a leviathan, it bears aquatic traits and is able to swim in water. However, unlike most Leviathans (who are capable enough fighters on land but more agile in the water), it possesses abilities that allow it to 'dance' around land terrain with ease. Its underbelly is covered in fur, which is soaked with a special soapy substance that allows it to slide across land faster than it can run. Notably inoffensive for a large monster, even when living near human communities, the Guild normally does not permit the species to be hunted. ''Generations Ultimate'' introduces the deviant Soulseer Mizutsune, whose disability only made it stronger. In ''Rise'', an Apex variant can be found leading an entire Rampage. ''Sunbreak'' introduces a Rare Species which uses flaming bubbles much like the Soulseer and Apex versions.

* DeathFromAbove: One of its signature moves consists of launching into the air, orbiting the current area, and then crashing back down for massive damage. Which can easily come off as a JumpScare if you thought it was moving to another area.

** It's initially on the receiving end of this during its Turf War with Seregios, who opens the fight by overwhelming it with its speed and relentless aerial assaults. [[{{Downplayed}} Though it manages to return the favor afterwards and tie]] thanks to its sheer brute strength letting it deal more damage in one blow than Seregios did to it first.

* StuffBlowingUp: The razor scales act like delayed sticky charges, lodging themselves in victims and detonating a fraction of a second later. This allows frantic dodging to avoid the second hit and the status effect. The followup explosions are also dangerous if blocked with a shield, as they'll rapidly drain the stamina bar and leave the hunter exposed.
** This aspect was removed in ''Sunbreak'', so the scales now immediately cause bleed and stay in the ground for a short period of time for hunters to accidentally run into.

* {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLlpSjiKzso Battle / Seregios]]''.

* PowerfulButInaccurate: Crimson Glow's dragon beam is very powerful and can one-shot hunters without sufficient defenses, but the windup is very obvious and it's fired in a straight line so any half-decent hunter could easily notice and evade it. In Master Rank, any hunter who dodges but subsequently runs forward near to the beam will get an unpleasant surprise, as Valstrax will now aim the beam ''back down'' to try and hit you a second time - this redirection has only a small radius though, so hunters can still get well out of the way if they remain aware.

* ArbitraryMinimumRange: Its tail spin attack's hitbox doesn't actually reach into the center of the spin radius, so getting right underneath the monster works if you can't get far enough away from it.

* CoolPet: Master Hojo has a domesticated baby one he rides on as a pet in ''Rise''.

* TorturedMonster: The Chaotic Gore Magala is this, left in an agonized, half-molted state where it can only blindly lash out at everything around it before finally succumbing to its own unnatural condition. Its ecology in ''Sunbreak'' emphasises this, with the Chaotic Gore Magala's erratic flight ending with it crashing to the ground and howling in agony while the music is a slow, somber tune that hammers home just how tragic its fate is. The narration finishes with it outright ''[[DeathSeeker begging]]'' [[DeathSeeker for something to kill it and]] [[MercyKill ends its misery]].

* AlasPoorVillain: Gore Magala may be an incredibly vicious and dangerous monster, but failing to molt and ending up trapped in agony (and slowly dying) in its Chaotic state is a horrific fate, and characters like Fiorayne and Chichae can't help but express sympathy for them.

* BodyHorror: Chaotic Gore Magala has part of its face that is slightly molted, but due to the fact that it didn't [[spoiler:fully become a Shagaru Magala, it's permanently stuck in this half-Gore, half-Shagaru state]]. Its eye apparently doesn't work, either.

* MercyKill: Basically when you kill a Chaotic Gore you're freeing it from the constant pain caused by the failed molt. Made implicit in ''Sunbreak'', where its urgent quest has Chichae sadly noting how much agony it must be in and that hunting it is the only way to release it from its torment.
