Gaismagorm

==Summary==
Gaismagorm, also known as the Abyssal Archdemon, is an enormous Elder Dragon that lurks in the depths of the earth. It possesses great physical strength as well as the ability to command swarms of flying lamprey-like Qurio, draining the life from entire ecosystems and empowering itself before emerging on the surface. Fifty years prior to the events of Monster Hunter Rise, it attempted to surface in the Kingdom and clashed with an Elder Dragon who had already claimed the region as its territory, Malzeno. It was first introduced in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Gaismagorm
Origin: Monster Hunter
Gender: Unknown
Age: Ancient (It is stated in the Hunter's Notes to have been living "since ancient times")
Classification: Elder Dragon, Dark Abyss Dragon 
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Bodily Weaponry (Via its sheer size, hexpartite mouth, huge forearms, and thick hooked tail), Rage Power (It becomes stronger and faster when enraged and when close to death), Sound Manipulation (Its roar can damage hunters and shatter stone), Large Size (Type 1; it is typically around 40 meters long and 15 meters tall, but when fully stretched out it reaches over 48 meters in length), Longevity (It has been stated to have lived since ancient times), Earth Manipulation (Its rock-like forearms are stated to allow it to burrow through the earth), Crystal Manipulation (Its body is partially coated in crystalized Qurio that can explode when removed), Animal Manipulation (It is the host for innumerable vampiric Qurio that it can command to flood ecosystems or recall to itself; Qurio drain the life from animals, even capable of killing a creature as large as an Anjanath), Disease Manipulation and Empathic Manipulation (The Qurio carry a virus that causes afflicted monsters to enter a hyper-aggressive state and humans to become incapacitated after a few days, and eventually causes death to both), Absorption (It can absorb life energy gathered by the Qurio to which it plays host, increasing its power), Air Manipulation (It can suck huge volumes of air into its mouth to pull distant foes closer to it), Explosion Manipulation (Its Qurio breath attacks and later-on Qurio-charged strikes create explosions, and Blastblight causes the victim to explode if not shaken off), Status Effect Inducement (Its flame orbs induce Blastblight), Resistance to Disease, Water, and Ice as well as Disease Manipulation and Empathic Manipulation (the Qurio don't harm it), possibly Regeneration (Mid-Low; showed no visible damage after being impaled by an exploding dragonator), possibly Fire Manipulation (It doesn’t use Fire Element, but many of its attacks resemble fire and it manifests a pair of fiery wings when performing its ultimate attack)
Attack Potency: Large Island level (As a monster that directly clashed with Malzeno in the past, it should be at least on par with Kushala Daora, who exerted this much energy dispersing a snowstorm)
Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ (As an Elder Dragon who fought Malzeno, it should be at least comparable to Kirin)
Lifting Strength: At least Class K, possibly far higher (As an Elder Dragon, it should be above the likes of Tetranodon, who can lift and toss boulders in excess of 134 metric tons; lifted and threw a boulder larger than its hand; possibly creates gigantic craters in the earth by sheer physical strength)
Striking Strength: Large Island level
Durability: Large Island level 
Stamina: Able to fight at full strength indefinitely and sustain large amounts of damage without significantly weakening.
Range: Tens of Meters with physical attacks, Hundreds of Meters with energy attacks and boulder projectiles, potentially Tens of Kilometers or more with Qurio swarms
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: At least Animalistic
Standard Tactics:
*Phase 1: It initiates combat by roaring and begins by using its bulky body and explosion-generating powers to crush its foes. In this phase, it possesses crystalline armor on its body that grant its physical attacks explosive properties. It also uses its enormous forearms to hurl boulders at distant opponents. Every few minutes, it will attempt to suck its foes into its mouth and engulf them in a powerful explosion.
*Phase 2: If sufficiently injured, it sucks in a mass of Qurio to empower itself. It uses its explosion attacks more frequently and begins using its mouth suction to draw foes into its attacks. It can evoke a rain of explosive projectiles. Every few minutes, it calls down swarms of Qurio that cling to the walls of its chamber and climbs to feast on their energy. If it is not knocked down in this state, it releases a devastating explosion attack capable of one-shotting hunters.
*Phase 3: When it is in grave danger, it rears up, roaring and setting itself ablaze. In this phase, it moves much more quickly, and additionally gains two new attacks: a crawling charge that leaves Blastblight-inflicting clouds that detonate after a delay, and a swift dash where it propels itself with jets of Qurio energy to slide across the arena into its foes and throwing explosions at a greater frequency than before. This is the most desperate and dangerous stage it enters before being killed.
Weaknesses: Thunder and Dragon Element. Its own crystals can injure it if broken off and sucked into its mouth, and its bodily Qurio swarms can be targeted and detonated in certain moments to injure and knock it down.
Notes:

*It is not technically stated to be an Elder Dragon in-game, but due to its abnormal powers and immunity to exhaustion, it is generally considered to be one.
