Ruby Basarios

Ruby Basarios appeared in 2013 video game called Monster Hunter 4. Ruby Basarios are Flying Wyverns and a Subspecies of Basarios that is introduced in Monster Hunter 4.

The most notable feature of this species of Basarios is the assortment of pink crystals protruding from all over its back, suggesting a considerable variation in its diet compared to its rocky cousin. Its body is also heavily covered in moss, due to it living in a vegetation-rich environment.

Like the common Basarios, this subspecies prefers to spend much of its time buried in the earth, camouflaged as a rock. It will attack if disturbed, but will not respond aggressively should it be approached by a hunter or another monster while in this state.

This subspecies is exclusively found in the Everwood, presumably because the pink crystals it feeds on cannot be found elsewhere.

Powers and Abilities
Its shell is highly resistant to damage and is difficult to penetrate. It is capable of launching crystals from its back by shaking its body back and forth.
