The Spinex is a powerful Brute Wyvern first introduced in Monster Hunter Y. It first appears at the end of Low Rank, but can be fought more times in High Rank Quests.

Physiology
Spinex is very similar to the real life Spinosaurus. It is blue in color, with an aquamarine sail, blue scutes running down its body, and dark blue claws that turn light blue when it is about to do an electrical attack. It also has blue spikes on its head, its sail, and the sides of its tail, as well as yellow eyes that turn blue when enraged. As well as this, it has large arms with 3 fingers on each hand, a crocodile-like mouth, and webbed feet, similarly to Spinosaurus.

Habitats
It likes to stay near water, so it is found in watery areas like the Jungle, Swamp, and Dunes. As well as this, it likes to dive into the waters of the Deserted Island to attack underwater prey. Spinex has also been seen in the Heaven's Mount.

Intros
Intro #1:

Location: Jungle Area 11

Synopsis: The hunter enters a small clearing in the jungle where a river runs. He/she also observes that there is a light grey Brute Wyvern fishing in that area. He/she decides to sneak attack it, and jumps on its back. It emits a small roar and flails wildly in an attempt to get him/her off. It finally gets him/her off with a stomp, and then turns around and notices its attacker. It lets out a loud roar, and the hunt begins.

Intro #2:

Location: Deserted Island Area 7

Synopsis: The hunter enters a cave in the Deserted Island. All of a sudden, he/she hears barking calls, and a pack of Jaggi (led by a Great Jaggi) rush towards the hunter. They attempt to terrorize the hunter, until all of a sudden, a crocodile-like head bursts out of the water nearby, grabs the Great Jaggi (scaring away all the other Jaggi), and goes back in the water. The hunter then jumps in the water and sees that it was a Spinex that killed the raptor, and the hunt begins.
