The Behemoth appeared in 2018 videogame called Monster Hunter World. The Behemoth is an Elder Dragon first introduced in Monster Hunter: World.
The Behemoth is a creature from another world. It is a colossal quadruped with purple skin and little hair over its body except a mane of black spiked hair on its back. Its body and front legs are absurdly muscular, though its hind legs are less so. The Behemoth's head is vaguely canine with a pair of sharp horns and piercing blue eyes that do not close. Behemoth's thick tail ends in long barb-like hairs. When Behemoth has gained enmity its eyes and body glow red.
Behemoth are among the most formidable creatures in their home worlds due to their immense strength, powerful spells, and tendency to cast powerful attacks upon death. This is especially the case for the one in the New World. Behemoth possesses exceptional physical strength and is among the very few beings in the Monster Hunter world known to wield genuine magic. This includes dropping meteors, summoning windstorms and thunderbolts, causing the ground to erupt with power, and even healing itself. Taking down the Behemoth is a feat that only the best Hunters can hope to accomplish, even with a coordinated and well-equipped team.
The Behemoth is incredibly aggressive and ill-tempered, but whether this is due to their innate hostility, agitation at being suddenly transported to the New World, or both is a matter of debate.
