Hideous Rajang

Hideous Rajang is an Explore-Style Variant of Rajang.

Physiology
Hideous Rajang has the same body shape as its standard relative, but it has dark green fur instead of dark brown fur. The hair on its back is black, and stays this color regardless of whether the Hideous Rajang is enraged or not. Hideous Rajang's horns are silver rather than tan and are, strangely enough, shaped like screws, while its skin is a pale yellow. Hideous Rajang's body is covered in several noticeable scars as if it were stitched together, and these ugly scars are where the monster got its name.

Abilities
Hideous Rajang has even higher physical strength than an ordinary Rajang, but it is also significantly slower. Hideous Rajang also seems to have more developed Thunder abilities as it is able to survive lightning strikes and use Thunder in its physical attacks.

Attacks
Hideous Rajang shares all the attacks of the normal Rajang, but the following are unique to it:

It's Alive!: Used at the beginning of the quest. Upon coming to the area with the Hideous Rajang, the hunters will notice it lying on the ground as if it were dead. It will continue to lie on the ground until a hunter comes close to it, and when this happens, lightning will suddenly strike the Hideous Rajang as it rises up and shrieks to life! This attack can cause heavy damage to unsuspecting hunters fighting the Hideous Rajang for the first time.

Almost Human: The Hideous Rajang stands upright on two legs and yells in an eerily human manner before using its hands to swipe at hunters in front of it.

Fire Bad!: If it sees a hunter carrying a torch or if it is attacked with a Fire element weapon, it will immediately react by striking the offending hunter with an Arm Slam.

Lion's Bite: A simple attack where the monster bites at a hunter in front of it.

Raging Pounds: Hideous Rajang slams its fists onto the ground while running forward, focusing on a single hunter.

Enraged Only
Windmill Punches: The monster rears up on its hind legs and shrieks before rapidly spinning its arms in vertical circles, knocking away any hunters it hits.

Heaven and Hell: Hideous Rajang uses a strong uppercut to send a hunter flying upwards, jumps into the air to follow them, then slams them back down to earth with a double-fisted strike.

Generator Swing: Hideous Rajang spins in a circle with its arms outstretched, generating power. Eventually, its arms will flash as they crackle with blue electricity. For the next minute after this attack, all its arm attacks will cause Thunderblight.

Monstrous Strangle: A pin attack where the monster grabs a hunter in its hand, then proceeds to tighten its grasp around their neck. This pin can cause heavy damage in a short amount of time.

Trivia

 * Hideous Rajang is obviously based on Frankenstein's Monster, but it takes inspiration from both the book and the movie.
 * Its yellow skin and long black hair come from the book's creature, while its green fur and bolt-like horns are inspired by the movie's monster.


 * Two of its attacks, Heaven and Hell and Lion's Bite, are based on quotes from Paradise Lost and Plutarch's Lives, respectively.
 * This is because both of these texts were said to be read by the creature in Mary Shelly's novel.
 * Frankenstein's Monster was chosen as the basis for this monster because its creator is playing Frankenstein's Monster in an upcoming show.
