'Monster Hunter' - Meet the Gigginox

"	Wyverns that inhabit the Tundra. Known to stun prey with poison, then freeze the meat in caves. Gigginox live in darkness and thus have degraded vision; they detect prey through body heat. Extremely fertile, laying innumerable eggs.	„
- Monster Hunter 3 Description

Gigginox is a Flying Wyvern introduced in Monster Hunter 3.

Physiology

Gigginox is similar to Khezu, in that they are blind, cave-dwelling wyverns. However, Gigginox does not sense prey by smell; instead, it has a special organ that can detect the body heat of its prey.

Gigginox is wide and flat, unlike Khezu, which is bulky and has large fat reserves. Also, Gigginox does not have highly moisturized skin, and unlike Khezu, it does not have visible veins. Gigginox is notably much more agile than Khezu, being able to flip around without difficulty, and being much faster, probably due to their flat body, and their ability to sense body-heat rather than smelling. While Khezu primarily uses its developed hind legs to leap around or cling onto cave ceilings, Gigginox uses all four limbs plus its tail to propel itself, suggesting that the Gigginox's limbs aren't as well developed as the Khezu's.

Similar to Khezu however, Gigginox has an elastic neck and tail, which can stretch out to twice their length in an attempt to attack hunters. Their top skin is grey-white, and their under-skin is dark red. When enraged, the top color of a Gigginox will change to a darker grey and almost black hue. Their head, tail and chest marks are white but have eye-like sections that glow purple when inside dark areas; these markings can be broken. Gigginox has a circular, leech-like maw, which contains many sharp teeth.

Abilities

Gigginox can attach to ceilings of caves just like Khezu. In this position, it can do a unique attack where it would drag the hunter underneath itself, then drop down and slowly consume the hunter, unless they are freed by their own effort or with the aid of fellow hunters. A Dung Bomb will instantly stop this attack.

It can spit poison or release it as a form of gas from pores under its body. Gigginox can lay gelatinous globs, called Giggi Sacs, that spawn young Giggis. However, it may also excrete purple globs that burst into poisonous clouds in mere seconds, these may trick those who are unfamiliar with Gigginox into attacking them instead. As Giggi Sacs take a longer time to produce, experienced hunters can tell beforehand which kind will come out.

Habitat

Gigginox is known to live in the Tundra, and is primarily found within caverns.

Notes

General Notes

Gigginox's name is a combination of gigi, the Indonesian word for "tooth" and nox which is Latin meaning "night".
When low on stamina, Gigginox will be unable to spit poison.
- However if a hunter gets too close to its mouth, they can still be infected with poison.
It takes longer for a Gigginox to excrete a Giggi Sac than a poison glob.
Since Gigginox detects targets by sensing body heat, it does not have eyes. Therefore Flash Bombs have no effect on it.
Gigginox can be poisoned despite using the ailment itself. It does very minimal damage however.
It can attach itself to the ceilings and move. It can also launch attacks from above.
Gigginox will occasionally lay a Giggi Sac on the ceiling, where it can only be hit by a Gunner or a Bounce Bomb.
Its skin darkens as it enters Rage Mode, and returns to normal once it calms down.
- Additionally, the head hardens and will deflect most weapons, while the tail becomes softer. This is an inverse of the normal state, where the head is soft and the tail is hard.
To escape from a Pitfall Trap, it will briefly hover.
- The only other time it will do this is when flying to different areas.
Gigginox's tail cannot be cut off, but it can be damaged for more rewards at the end of the quest.
In higher rank quests, Gigginox's poison is far more potent than in lower rank quests, as it drains health at a faster rate. This special venom is discernible by its different coloration from the standard Poison status.
Gigginox's roar requires HG Earplugs to block.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Gigginox is now able to do a double swipe with its tail, just like with its head.

Additionally, it can make a jump during which it doesn't turn itself.

It can lay a Giggi Sac on its back during G-Rank Quests, making it harder to destroy, and allowing it to drop Giggis directly onto nearby hunters.

Monster Hunter Explore

Despite the game saying that Gigginox has the Ice Element, it doesn't use any elemental attacks.
