Velkhana (Cryophilodraco regina; Northern Sami: Vellkanná; Russian/Ukrainian: Велхана) is the one of the elder dragons introduced in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. This dragon was the secondary antagonist in this series along with primary antagonist, Shara Ishvalda.

Etymology

Hence the name from Latvian: velk, means "pull" as meaning of communication and tried to pull up to the encode, and ana means "pass" in Romani language. In Russian and other Slavic languages it is called Велхана (Velhana/Velkhana) for this species.

Physical Appearance

Velkhana is a svelte and traditional European dragon with the slim, upright body structure of elder dragons like Kushala Daora. Its scales and shell are a unique crystalline blue to whitish blue that are feather-like pycnofibers, even peach belly with bluish stains. Velkhana’s torso spines are aligned with five, reaching to the tail.


Covering Velkhana's entire body are overlapping feather-like scales or pycnofibers, which one might immediately think is how Velkhana keeps itself warm in the cold environments it inhabits, but that isn't the case. Velkhana's hooking claws are used for gripping or hooking slipping terrain like ice.


Their wings are covered with feather-like pycnofibers, and two fingers are away from the wings. Its head has a tiara-like crown of small horns, jagged with nine spines in different sizes and vertically, along with eight small spines. It summons ice to cover its wings, limbs, and tail. Its thin, lance-like tail is highly flexible and can jab at enemies.

Abilities

Velkhana freely controls ice and cold wind and can cover wide areas of ice in an instant. It breathes beams of supercooled fluid that can instantly freeze monsters and survivors alike. When covered in its ice armor, ice crystals form nearby, and when struck by Velkhana's ice breath, they form large spires that soon explode. Small ice platforms sometimes form, which can be jumped off of. Occasionally, spikes of ice fall from clouds close to the ground when they are enraged.


Velkhana summons blizzards or snowstorms by flapping its wings or breathing both mist and hail from their own saliva from the sky. Velkhana breathes ice tornadoes like Barioth and Kushala too. In Planet Earth and Reinachos, Velkhana can now use moves from its Arch-Tempered version. Velkhana will solidify Remobra, Mosswine, Bombadgy, and others while in a zone with them. The frostbite prevents them from being carved.

Weather Phenomenon

Ecology

Velkhana has the same basic shape as most other elder dragons: four legs and two wings on its back.


It utilizes countercurrent heat exchange to maintain itself warm in such surroundings, losing minimal heat in the process. Like ducks, it has a small amount of fat at the very tip of its wings that permits cold air to enter its body. The supercooled water inside Velkhana's body can be breathed out of its mouth, rapidly freezing any objects or creatures caught in the blast. However, for scientists and members of the royal family, Velkhana utilizes this special kind of organ that eats prehistoric ice to regulate the supercooled water inside its body.


The supercooled water that Velkhana breathes out of its mouth is also secreted by the scales' sweat glands from the spaces between them. It uses the supercooled water it secretes to build icy armor all over its body, further shielding it from opposing blows. Velkhana's secreted, supercooled water can even be used to help it regrow its tail.


Velkhana, despite being used as cryophagia as their armor, are carnivorous by nature and, like other elder dragons, are at the top of the food chain. Although its diet is unclear at this time, it is likely to include both native animals and invasive species in polar regions. They discover that Velkhana's crystal scales are composed of fast-cooling magma after killing it. Therefore, Velkhana did indeed molt during the Elder's Recess.

Behavior

Velkhana is relatively calm when left undisturbed by passive animals or humans alike. It knows that it's a strong monster and that most, if not all, creatures will avoid challenging it in combat.

Distribution and Habitat

When Velkhana found Hoarfrost Reach because it went to Elder Recess, it led Legianas into their habitat by a mysterious melodic song. Velkhana is the only one that lived on Planet Earth, located in Ahtohallan, an ancient and mysterious island that is home to several elemental guardians. It is near the North Pole, in the northern portions of Norway.


Tamed

The survivors have to steal Velkhana's egg from the icy tunnels in order to tame it. The newborns need to be fed any kind of milk, which may be obtained from a variety of sources, following the hatching of these eggs using cold resources like air conditioners or refrigerators.

Lore

Khione persuaded the Terran branch of the Aesir to use Project Pashneia, a scientific endeavor, for creating the Velkhana, which was then used to create all contemporary creatures such as humans, monsters, and animals.
