Voxanumbra is a relentless and intelligent Mollusk that is the apex predator of the Phantom Tropics: The flagship monster of Monster Hunter Seclusion and the main antagonist of the Low Ranks sector of the game.

Physiology

A newly discovered species of Mollusk that unlike others, can stay outside of the water for an extremely long amount of time due to the water sacs it retains. It has completely adapted to movement both submerged underwater and on land. Although they still typically never go too far off from the coasts.

Behavior

Voxanumbra are completely unpredictable when it comes to behaviour. Some have been reported of being curious and neutral towards humans, others have reported of them being hostile and relentess. Even going as far as raiding a town or docked ships near the coasts. The most famous example of this is 'The Incident' where a Voxanumbra single handedly wiped out the entirety of secular Fleet that was accidently diverged into the turf of the squid, an individual Voxanumbra that crawled out of the shore and killed all the members that were on that fleet. Ever since that tragic event, a village in construction has been built a fairly far distance from the coasts in a more secluded part of the isles. Save for select few individuals however, most Voxanumbra's won't attack humans unprovoked.

Ecological Information

Tracks

Tracks: Suction Pad patterns, Organ Bio-pile, Magnetised coconuts

Specific Locale Interactions

• If fought in the Oceanic Necropolis, it entirely uses its underwater moveset and gains select few new moves if fought in this location.

• It will shoot out massive bursts of jets of water into the sky to hit unfortunate wingdrakes and wyverns.

• In the Phantom Tropics, it will consume the coconuts that are found within the growth of Palm trees.

• In its sleeping ground (Abyssal Underwater Cavern), it will spark "booby traps", geysers that spew out if a hunter gets close to them, near the entrance to the area.

• It gains the ability to unleash a combination of electric and aquatic geysers with insanely large AOE's from the bottom of the Abyssal Underwater Cavern in a desperate attempt to fend off the hunter.

Cutscenes

Information about what happens when encountering the monster for the first time.

Abilities

Voxanumbra can shoot massive, extreme bursts of water from its sacs, produce electricity via an electrical organ that smoothly produces electricity: running across Voxanumbra's soft body. 4 Tendrils contain tethered orbs that contain magnetic properties, it often can use this to use the environment to shield itself alongside toss electrified coconuts and even small trees at hunters. One of its most dangerous assets however is its supreme intelligence, similarly to Berkyuros.

Rage and Tired States

• Rage State: It will start emitting light that flickers at a rapid rate before glowing bright cyan + turqoise (can inflict Magnet-based attacks in Rage Mode).
• Tired State: Glows much more dim, becoming almost grey in colour, eyes turn a slight more pink hue. Ita air sacs start to look deflated and it can't dish out powerful jets of water to travel at extreme speeds nor as a combat tactic.

Mounts

You mount its head where it will proceed to flail around the water and attempt to grab you with its tendrils, if you fail the transition, Voxanumbra will grab you with its tendrils and is very likely to either throw you away or engage in a pin attack, depending on the state its in.

Plot

N/A

Ecology

• Habitat Range

An apex of the ocean and land, often crossing between the two for distinct land-exclusive meals, a place to rest or actively searching for a partner.

• Ecological Niche

It stands as the apex predator of the Phantom Tropics with only other equally powerful monsters such as Deviljho, Zurrocudda, Jinnukaton and Shipex. It does its best to avoid the likes of Ensepronantus, Lumidusa and Ceadeus when venturing through the deep waters.

• Biological Adaptations

Its extreme intelligence alows it to think to get itself out of rough situations unscathed or to tip the scales in its favour, it has complete control of electricity, bursts of extremely pressured water, supreme agility with its tentacles on both land and sea and the mild control of magnetism at its arsenal against foes and prey alike.

• Behavior

Voxanumbra are completely unpredictable when it comes to behaviour. Some have been reported of being curious and neutral towards humans, others have reported of them being hostile and relentless. Even going as far as assaulting ships on the open seas or attacking settlements near the coast. A famous example of this is when the 8th Fleet was attacked by a ruthless underwater creature, causing the ship to cascrade onto the Phantom Tropics where the surviving fleet members were picked off one by one and brutally killed or eaten. Further research and locating is going on to identity this particular individual Voxanumbra. Despite this exception, its claimed that most won't attack humans unprovoked.

Notes

• Made to be the flagship for Monster Hunter: Seclusion

• It is one of the first concepts by TheElusiveOne
• Credits to Dinoman0310 for commissioning the icon.

• It can respond to specific hunter gestures if unprovoked, for example: it can perform somewhat of a wave with one of its tendrils if the hunter does the wave gesture when Voxanumbra has its eyes on the hunter.
