Purple Gypceros

Gypceros is a Greek word for “plaster horn”, γύψος (gypsos), "plaster". Because the quarries of the Montmartre district of Paris have long furnished burnt gypsum (calcined gypsum) used for various purposes and kéras (κέρας) meaning 'horn'.

Whilst the common Gypceros' colors are blue and pink, the Purple Gypceros' are a more vivid purple and green.

This Subspecies is notably more resiliant than its original counterpart, and can produce more powerful poison. Unlike their relatives, the Purple Gypceros was very resilient and didn't have violet-colored poison. Instead of having green poison, it was much more dangerous than normal purple poison. Double immune to electricity and ineffective blunts, the weight was massive enough to easily destroy the weight scale and some abodes.

Certain Gypceros have been observed to execute even more impressive ruses than the typical Gypceros, demonstrating their intellect through observation of how hunters employ status attack weapons. Its renowned "playing dead" performance is accompanied by appearances of being sleep deprived and immobilized. Beware, when a hunter breaks its crest and it tries to flash unsuccessfully, instead of the dizzying flash, it ignites a poison gas similar to the flaming gas that a Basarios uses to hunters.

Some individuals now enhance poison, which is more purple in color and depletes health at a faster rate than ordinary poison. In High-rank, it can immediately flash the hunter after a peck attack. In G-rank, it can spit a poison ball at the air and it lands on the ground many seconds later.

The likelihood of finding a Lightcrystal increases when the crystal is broken on the head. The Gypceros's flash attack is prevented from being used if this crystal is broken. Once the crystal is broken, Gypceros will make an ineffective attempt at flashing. When low on stamina it will fail to spit poison and will fall after charging.

'Middle ground' is occupied by Purple Gypceros on the food chain. It is omnivorous, mostly consuming mushrooms and insects for food. The frightening temnoceran Nerscylla is a significant predator of Purple Gypceros. It feeds on the bird wyverns and uses their own skin as rudimentary armor.

It can be stimulated by the Purple Gypceros to emit a flash that can blind predators as well as prey. It has a crest on its head. It has also evolved to use its internal venomous sac to poison its enemies. The Purple Gypceros, in contrast to most other creatures, has a thick, rubbery hide that makes electrical strikes and impacts useless. They also wield their beaked snouts as weapons. Its body is practically tubby and stocky, and its tail can reach surprisingly great lengths.

Purple Gypceros is known to use its flashing attack more frequently in battle, and will chain other attacks directly into it. Purple Gypceros is a relatively timid beast, but it has been known to 'play dead' in order to deceive an attacker. These bird wyverns are have a unique fascination with shiny objects which leads them to steal objects from hunters much to the displeasure of said hunters.

Purple Gypceros are usually found in swamps and marshlands, although can occasionally be seen in Jungle. Being omnivorous, they prefer warm and humid locations where insects and mushrooms are plentiful and water is abundant.

In Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia, Melanesia, New Zealand, and the Americas, the Gypceros inhabit woods and marshes that are tropical, subtropical, temperate, and Mediterranean. These animals, including the subspecies Purple Gypceros from the Monster Hunter series, were listed by Norman Osborn and Tony Stark. Arishem 'made' the Gypceros and its subspecies for the Earth. Reported from ancient times in Fertile Crescent, one individual could blind foes with their glowing headdress like a torch.

Gypceros were tranquilized by bullets and made unconscious, feed it while unconscious and used narcotics to continuously overdose. Gypceros are immediately domesticated when they hatch from an egg because the survivor is always within 17 radii of the hatching egg. If Gypceros isn't already tamed, you can train it with a whip for whipped, or eating some eggs, or bugs.

Since the survivor is always within 16 radii of Gypceros's egg, Gypceros are automatically domesticated when they hatch from an egg.
