Gurodu Magala

"Its like a torch, its light flares, but will eventually die. That's what I think happened to this thing-Woman Citizen"

Gurodu Magala is an Elder Dragon encountered in Monster Hunter Tri Frenzy. It is the final boss and quest of the village quests.

Appearance
It has the body shape of Shagaru Magala, however its horns and wings are crooked in a zig zag pattern. Instead of the divine gold scales it processed it has brown rough scales as if the light inside had died. Its eyes are red with purple streaks behind it, and its wings, horns, claws and underbelly is coloured purple too. The tip of the tail is forked.

Behavior
Gurodu Magala is a Shagaru that has been in contact with The Frenzy for so long that it has become deformed by it. It is extremely aggressive to the point it will kill monsters on sight. By its frenzy saturation it overflows with it and leads to outbreaks easily.

Intro
Ciemran Ruins: Area 5: Frenzy Incarnate

The hunter drops down from the previous area, after having defeated the previous three magalas before. He/she notices the floor is covered with the virus. He/she sees that the source comes from the thing at the back of the area, a brown and black figure. This 'figure' awakes, and lights into purple with red glowing eyes. Its the Gurodu. Apon viewing something in its presence, it strikes! Gurodu catapults off the throne it made out of frenzy crystals and smashes into the wall then immediately throws the rocks broken off at the hunter and charges straight at him/her. The hunter is thrown off balance from this assault, and only barely dodges an arm phantom like. Gurodu dashes to the center of the area and unleashes a frenzy wave with its roar. And the final fight against the frenzy begins.

Battle
The Gurodu Magala has attacks shared from all three species of the Magala species. It has several attacks of its own mainly in the form of frenzy arms which are living cells of the virus mutated to be a form of attack.

Enraged only attacks Phantom arms appear which adds range to attacks
 * Earth smash Breaks the ground with a pound and throws the rocks brought up by it.
 * Frenzy breath Gurodo can fire a stream of virus instead of a ball. Used right to left.
 * 360° swipe With its two claws it plants both claws into the ground and spins around.
 * Three directional explosion After doing its two other explosion lines it'll do a final one which explodes vertically and diagonally left and right.
 * Zig zap explosion An uncomboed attack which moves zig zagedly.
 * Dark glide It can fly over the player and try and inflict the virus that way.
 * Virus wave Its wings glow black before it sends out a wave of frenzy in front of it in a similar way to Blazing crimson fatalis.
 * Phantom swipe With its phandom arm it sweeps in front of it. Can be done airborne.
 * Phantom punch Gurodu punches with a purple flash. The phantom claw emerges out of a black hole to hit the player.
 * Virus geyser It breaks the ground with its phantom arm, from the hole erupts frenzy which sticks for around 20 seconds.
 * Double virus spread Now when it does its virus orb that spreads into three ones, it'll do it twice in a row.
 * Phantom crush Gurodu stands up and summons its two phantom arms by its wings. It falls down and the phantom arms clasp together and explode.
 * The frenzy's judgement Its most powerful attack, done when its rage mode ends after 300secs. Its entire body glows purple as it takes airborne and transforms its phantom arms and power all into a dark ball of evil. It after 5secs of charging fires it at the player causing a large radius purple explosion. The player can turn this attack against it by standing on the throne, the ball gets deflected back at Gurodu and knocks it down for 10secs. Once hit by the ball it will lose its purple glow and won't be able to use its frenzy virus for 2 mins.

Rage state
Will go into the gore magala frenzy transformation animation except for its arms being the air. Frenzy will surround the both of them and create phantom extensions to them. Then there's the typical huffing of frenzy mist from its mouth.

Trivia

 * Its phantom arms ability is based off one of the attacks of Daimon's second form from Dragons' Dogma Dark Arisen.
