Daimyo Hermitaur
Type	Large monster Carapaceon		Threat lv	5 / 10
Element	Water		Status	Water
Weak	Thunder		Resist	Dragon Water

Introduction

Description: Large Carapaceons that live in coastal regions and sandy soil. Daimyo Hermitaurs use their massive claws to guard themselves against enemy attacks. These creatures wear wyvern skulls on their backs, unlike the shells carried in their infancy. These shells serve not only as protection, but also as a method for attacking prey. They are highly valued for their materials—their brains in particular.

Hunter tips: Daimyo Hermitaurs' weak point is their head. Attacking it will inflict massive damage, so focus your attention there. However, they will use their gargantuan claws to defend themselves and to protect this soft spot. Using a Sonic Bomb when they adopt a defensive position is an excellent tactic to "crack the shell to get the nut inside."

Habitats: Shrine Ruins, Sandy Plains, Flooded Forest, Jungle
