My idea : Acid

Some neopterons and wyrwerns (mainly the flying wyrwen Faneas) have strong enzymes in their saliva or body that they use to hunt heavilly armored monsters. This enzymes of course also work against hunters armor, slowly melting it.

This feared ailment will thankfully rrarely be used by monsters with more than 4 stars danger level. Unlike Deviljho saliva, Phaneas saliva won't cause the Defense Down ailment but the worse Acid ailment. When a hunter is hurt by an atack with this ailment, a bar will appear on his screen. After 30 seconds, if he hasn't used a basic solution (a new item), his defense will be divided by 2 or redused by 100 (the better outcome s always chosed). Players may think that it isn't so terrible against players with a really high defense, but it has another effect : all the hunter armor skills points (including negatives ones) will be divided by 2.

Weapons with this ailment will be able to enter in a special mode for 20 seconds, 3 times per hunt. In this mode, they will never bounce, even against monster parts making purple sharpness weapons bounce. Of course, some really powerful monsters will be imuned to it.
