Hallucinations

The screen briefly turns darker and the hunter touches his/her forehead before the hunter hallucinates of a monster that isn't actually present there physically: attacking said hunter before fading back to colour and the hallucination disappearing. This results in the hunter being dazed (not stunned however) for a few seconds before regaining consciousness.

The monsters that the hunter can hallucinate specifically tend to be monsters that are infamous for their fear factor in lore: meaning the monsters the hunters can hallucinate tends to be the likes of the following monsters:

- Yian Garuga

- Rajang

- Bazelgeuse

- Deviljho

- Supremacy Pariapuria

- Unknown Black Flying Wyvern

- Mi Ru

- Shen Gaoren

- Gogmazios

- Nakarkos

- Dalamadur

- Laviente

- Alatreon

- Dire Miralis

- Fatalis (All six)

- Xiang Tien

- Disufiroa

Time Period hallucinations can last for: 3-12 seconds (No Cure: Wait it out)

Monsters that can use this ailment can vary from the distinct cannon fodder monster with an ailmental attribute that can make them stand out from others to eldritchian Conquest War entities. This ailment can also rarely trigger if the hunter is idle for too long (only during either a quest or expedition).

My idea comes from the concept of the hunters paranoia of monsters that are known lore-wise to be feared or revered whether it be because of their eldritchian prowess, mythical status, fear factor, reputation, rarity or sheer power.
