Zinogre

<tabber>
|-|Zinogre=
==Summary==
Zinogre is a quadrupedal monster with superficially lupine features. Adapted to mountain environments, it possesses brutish forelegs and a thick tail. It is surprisingly agile for its size, being capable of performing flips and spins on land and in the air. By calling Thunderbugs in its vicinity to nest in its back shells, it can charge its body with electricity and enter a shining blue state. In its supercharged state, it can wreathe its blows in electricity and can call lightning on its foes. It was first introduced in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
|-|Stygian Zinogre=
==Summary==
Stygian Zinogre is a subspecies of Zinogre adapted to utilize Dracophage Bugs rather than Thunder Bugs. Adorned with a silver-black sheen in contrast to the typical species, it is capable of using bolts of gathered Dragon Element to smite its prey. It thrives even in regions of extreme heat and frigid cold, and when it enters its empowered crimson form, it flings Dracophage Bugs at a far greater frequency than the normal species does Thunderbugs. It was first introduced in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
|-|Apex Zinogre=
==Summary==
Apex Zinogre is a variant of Zinogre that survived a storm created by Wind Serpent Ibushi and became all the stronger for it. Possessing an unusual, dark-greenish coloration and yellow fur, it is far more dangerous than a typical Zinogre, striking foes with shining golden lighting. It is extremely aggressive and powerful, with a variety of lightning-based attacks over its standard counterpart. It was first introduced in Monster Hunter Rise.
|-|Thunderlord Zinogre=
==Summary==
Thunderlord Zinogre is a Deviant version of Zinogre distinct from its standard counterpart in that it exists in a perpetually charged state and crackles with green lightning, matching its bright scales. It can enter an extremely powerful form known as the "Ultracharged" state, during which its lightning acquires the same shining golden hue as its twisted horns and shells. It was first introduced in Monster Hunter Generations.
