Ignactrox (イグナクトロックス Igunakutorokkusu) is a dangerous and terrifying species of Flying Wyvern which is encountered in arctic regions and serves as one of the flagships of Monster Hunter Maelstrom.
== Physiology ==
Ignactrox is a large species of Flying Wyvern with an elongated yet bulky head, a relatively slim body compared to other Flying Wyverns and a long slender tail. Its body has somewhat translucent skin, showing some of the skeleton and organs underneath. The head has a plethora of pores at the front of the upper jaw, resembling a toothy grin. It also has small horns extending back from the upper corner of its eyes. It has cloudy eyes and spines running down the center of its back, becoming larger towards the middle of the body. Its wings are large and like those of a bat, with its digits extending into the wings, giving them an almost skeletal hand-like look. Several parts of its body have membranes extending from them, such as the wings, the tail and its chin. It has several fins along its long tail.
Its body is overall a dark blue, but thanks to photophores throughout its body, it will commonly glow a light blue or cyan. This glow becomes more green towards the extremities of its body, before turning yellow around the tips of its body. These are specifically towards its wings, legs and tail, while its eyes are violet.
== Behavior ==
Ignactrox are an intelligent and territorial species of Flying Wyvern known for stalking threats to their territory for extended periods of time. Through this method, these Flying Wyverns try to instill a sense of fear and anxiety, driving them out of their territory without the need to attack these threats. However, if this tactic fails, Ignactrox are still known to drive threats to their territory away through more direct means.
== Ecological Information ==
=== Placement in Food Chain ===
Ignactrox sit at the top of the food chain, asserting themselves as the apex predators of the Icebound Shore, inhabiting the large fields and canyons of the arctic region. Their agility, abilities and intelligence allow them to easily prey upon a variety of monsters. Small monsters can easily fall prey to an Ignactrox as they’ll be unable to move after being hit by the Flying Wyvern’s paralytic gas. Similarly, larger monsters can also find themselves unable to escape from an Ignactrox when it utilizes its breath and fall prey to it as a result. However, other large, dangerous monsters are capable of potentially withstanding the paralytic breath and thus prove themselves both a threat and competition to the Flying Wyvern.
=== Behavior towards Other Monsters ===
While Ignactrox are territorial, they do not see small monsters as a threat, and thus small monsters have been seen wandering in the same area as an Ignactrox. However, these small monsters always seem to be on edge when in the presence of an Ignactrox. Smaller large monsters are similarly not seen as threats to its territory and thus can safely move around the Flying Wyvern, as long as they do not come too close or provoke it. However, large, strong monsters are seen as threats and thus will be confronted by the Ignactrox, trying to drive them away while still being careful. Ignactrox are known to run away from powerful monsters upon taking enough damage from them, though will sometimes leave even before a physical confrontation occurs.
=== Tracks ===
Ignactrox can leave behind a variety of tracks for hunters to utilize in tracking it down. These tracks include ”Large Footprints”, which can be found on the ground, "Electric Scorch Marks”, which can be found on the ground or on walls,”Fluorescent Scale Fragments”, which can be found on the ground or on walls, and ”Translucent Membrane Parts”, which can be found on the ground.
=== Specific Locale Interactions ===
Ignactrox has no specific locale interactions.
=== Special Behaviors ===
Whenever an Ignactrox is in the area and the hunter is in an area near to it, but not the same one as it, they can hear distant wailing and ghostly noises. The volume of these sounds is dependent on how close the hunter is.
== Abilities ==
Ignactrox are large Flying Wyverns, but are more slender than the typical Flying Wyvern which grants them their great agility, capable of quickly moving around their prey and evading threats during confrontations. Ignactrox are, however, well-known for being capable of shrouding their body in large amounts of electricity as they move around, serving both offensive and defensive means. Offensively, Ignactrox are capable of utilizing their electrically charged bodies to ram into foes, while defensively, it further accelerates it around the area. Besides this method, Ignactrox are also capable of releasing electricity in quick bursts to generate strange wisp-like orbs of electricity. Alongside this, Ignactrox are capable of breathing out a potent paralytic gas, easily halting anything which comes into contact with it, almost like they’re frozen from fear. Lastly, Ignactrox are capable of producing loud screams which in older, more experienced individuals can potentially even cause a fear response in whatever hears it.
== Rage and Tired States ==
* Rage State: When Ignactrox becomes enraged, it will start to glow more brightly and parts of its body will start to spark with electricity.
* Tired State: When Ignactrox becomes tired, it will start drooling and will glow less brightly. It’s also more likely to fail at charging its body with electricity.
== Unique Statuses ==
Ignactrox are known to be affected by the Frenzy Virus and thus turn Frenzied as a result, but they’ve been known to overcome it and attain the Apex State. The virus spread by Xeres Maskana can also infect Ignactrox and turn Impulsed as a result of this. Ignactrox have also been found in the Hyper and Tempered States, alongside being affected by the Qurio and turning Afflicted as a result.

Ignactrox has mount animations like those of many other Flying Wyverns and can be mounted on its head, body and tail.
Whenever Ignactrox is mounted on its head, the hunter will either be located on top of the Ignactrox’s head or hanging from either side of its head. The Ignactrox will try to get hunters off by violently shaking its head around, by running or flying around and by slamming the side of its head into walls.
Whenever Ignactrox is mounted on its body, the hunter will be located on the Ignactrox’s back, being located between the Flying Wyvern’s wings. The Ignactrox will try to get hunters off by shaking its body, by running or flying around and by slamming the side of its body into walls.
Whenever Ignactrox is mounted on its tail, the hunter will be located either on top of the Ignactrox’s tail or hanging from either side of it and will be located either from the base of the tail or to the middle of the tail. The Ignactrox will try to get hunters off by violently shaking its tail around, by running or flying around, and by slamming its tail into walls or the ground.
