Perithmos are Elder Dragons first introduced in Monster Hunter Origins.
Physiology[]
These beasts have a primarily indigo-colored body and a large, box-shaped, light blue-colored head. The underside of their body is colored pink. Their limbs sport four black, hooked claws on each foot. A single row of black spines that run along the sides of the head, body, arms, legs, and tail. Their most noticeable features are the large, arm-like appendages on their back. These arms possess four claws like their feet, along with a vestigial thumb. The tail is long and ends with a round club that has five large spikes, three of which curve upwards.
Abilities[]
Perithmos use the large arms on their back to attack. They can cover their body with the Dragon Element, causing their attacks to deal more damage. They also spew an acidic fluid.

Information[]
| Perithmos | |
|---|---|
| No available icon. | Incredibly destructive Elder Dragons that destroy whatever area they inhabit just for fun, reducing boulders to pebbles and trees to splinters. Their wings have transformed into powerful, arm-like appendages that grab and crush prey and enemies alike. As a result, they cannot fly but make up for it by being powerful climbers. |
Taxonomy[]
- Order: Elder Dragon
- Suborder: Armed Dragon
- Family: Perith
Habitat Range[]
The primary habitat for these Elder Dragons is the Destroyed Clearing, which was created by a single individual. They have been spotted in other areas, such as the Evergreen Jungle, Overflowing Cauldron, Placid Meadow, Sandy Shore, and the Skyscraper Mountains.
Ecological Niche[]
Perithmos are powerful predators that are high in the food chain. Lesser monsters such as Aterux, Great Bludggi, and Retenar are easy prey for the dragons. Competition for food and territory include the likes of Ampaltus, Carnofex, Davolius, Sigmohrias and other predatory Elder Dragons. Zeograth are especially dangerous as they are much larger and wield the Thunder Element, which Perithmos are weak against.
Biological Adaptations[]
The Elder Dragons' wings have evolved into large, arm-like appendages, similar to Gore Magala and its adult form. However, they cannot fly but make up for it by being able to climb almost any surface. These arms can grab and crush prey and enemies alike. They can easily lift large rocks from the ground and toss them like crumbled up paper. Each and every cell in its body produces and contains the Dragon Element. It is able to release the element by contracting its cells at high speeds inside its muscles. This produces an aura of Dragon Element around certain body parts, or even its entire body. They can also spit an acidic substance when distressed.
Behavior[]
These creatures are highly aggressive and territorial predators that won't hesitate in attacking hunters if spotted.

Introduction Cutscene[]
The hunter walks into the Destroyed Clearing. It's quite obvious that the area's sole resident has been busy. A majority of the trees in the area have been reduced to mere stumps. Several logs lay scattered across the ground. The mess is a sure sign that the hunter's target is nearby. However, the hunter's attention is captured by a nearby rumbling sound. The hunter turns around in time to see Perithmos barreling towards them at full speed. The hunter dives out of the way and Perithmos slides to a stop. The Elder Dragon slowly turns to face the hunter, giving them a piercing stare. The beast unfolds its arms and slams them against the ground, rearing up to let out its bellow. The hunt begins.
Notes[]
- Perithmos's design was inspired by concept art for Nergigante.
- Perithmos has a Pin Attack; it grabs a hunter with one of its arms and crushes them, before tossing them away.
- Perithmos's head, arms, and chest can be broken. Its tail can be severed and subsequently carved.
- Its roar requires HG Earplugs to block.
- At random intervals during the battle, Perithmos will discharge the Dragon Element from a certain body part. The affected body part will deal more damage during certain attacks and inflict Dragonblight. When entering rage mode, it will cover its entire body in the Dragon Element.
