Great Craggi

Great Craggi are Bird Wyverns appearing in Monster Hunter Venture.

Appearance
Great Craggi resembles a large Craggi, but there are several notable differences. The first obvious difference is that its horns are much larger, though they are now flatter on the sides and resemble ridges. Its throat sac is also much larger than that of a normal Craggi, allowing it to use more explosive powder in its attacks. It also has a muzzle full of sharp teeth set in lips that are curled upwards, giving it a diabolic grin.

Attacks
Great Craggi shares all of the attacks of Craggi.

Triple Snap: Great Craggi performs three quick bites forward.

Tail Spin: The monster turns to look behind it, and then spins around quickly to face its rear. In Rage Mode, it will perform this attack twice.

Rock Flip: The monster sticks its snout into the ground before unearthing a large rock, which then topples over.

Lingering Powder: Great Craggi puffs out a large cloud of explosive powder, which stays around for a few seconds before dissipating. Running into this cloud of powder instantly causes Blastblight.

Gunpowder Rush: Great Craggi spits out three fast-travelling clouds of blast powder that detonate upon impact. Causes Blastblight.

Behavior and Ecology
Great Craggi is relatively low on the food chain. They are capable of preying on small herbivores like Apceros and Rhenoplos, but they are in turn preyed upon by larger monsters such as Rathalos and Brachydios. Great Craggi can also lead its pack to take on slightly more dangerous prey, such as Volvidon or Iodrome. Rare monsters such as the Brute Wyverns Deviljho and Tirraukronus, the Fanged Beast Rajang, or the elder dragon Teostra are also major threats to Great Craggi. Another monster that poses a threat to it is the Behemoth Onyx Cerambus. Although it does not prey on Great Craggi due to being an herbivore, it is still a very powerful and aggressive creature easily capable of trampling or goring a Great Craggi.

Trivia

 * Great Craggi is based on a Ceratosaurus.
 * Its name is a play on the word "craggy", meaning rocky or mountainous. This is a reference to the fact that it lives in mountains and volcanic areas.
