Flaming Espinas

Type	Large monster Flying Wyvern	Threat lv	9 / 10
Element	Fire	Status	Fire Poison Def-down
Weak	Water	Resist	Fire

Introduction

Description: An Espinas subspecies with a slightly more muted body color. The boldness of the standard Espinas remains: run-of-the-mill attacks won't rouse Flaming Espinas from their slumber. Their breath attack contains a powerful poison, and a dense acid that deteriorates armor. Take this attack head-on, and you won't stand a chance...

Hunter tips: Beware when Flaming Espinas stand up and spread their wings; they'll begin building up power to unleash a massive fireball attack with a wide area of effect. When they start charging up, escape to a safe distance. The fireball's explosive effects lower defense, so bring along items like Adamant Seeds to give it a boost.

Habitats: Citadel
