Duramboros, The Living Mountain

The first hunt that sends you after a Duramboros is also the one where you meet your second hunting shakalaka companion, Kayamba. At the start of the hunt Kayamba (Left) finds himself faceing down a Duramboros (Right). Screen shot taken on November 29, 2013 by Brad Moffett.
Hello and welcome back hunters. This week’s lesson is on the giant Duramboros. We'll be covering the usual topics as always.
Duramboros are part of the brute wyvern family. They are brown in coloration and covered with green moss from head to tail, they pocess ram like horns on their heads and have cudgel like tails. They live in forest and swampy areas.
Duramboros's fighting style is all about close combat and using its size. They charge with their horns, bulldozing anything that gets in their way. Duramboros's main weapon is their cudgel like tail. They will smash it into the ground as well as spin around in a circle using their tail as a wrecking ball. The spin attack often ends with Duramboros propelling itself skyward and attempting to body slam its opponent.
Hunting a Duramboros is a war of attrition. Duramboros are very resilient to damage and can take large amounts of damage compared to other wyverns but they do have a specific weak point, their humps.. If one is worn down enough it will trip up and fall over when attempting to spin attack, this leaves the humps on its back open for attack. Also a rightly time flash bomb will also make Duramboros take a dive during its spin attack.
That about covers all you need to know about Duramboros. Come back next time for the final lesson, hunting the trickster Quropeco.
