Savage Obsidian Deviljho

The **Savage Obsidian Deviljho** are the Variants of the Obsidian Deviljho Subspecies. Just like their standard species, they were thought to be exclusive to volcanic regions and had completely traded their Dragon Element for greater Fire Element. Unfortunately for the world, and especially for the New World's Research Commission, they too are nomadic, having came from the evolution of the Obsidian Deviljho. Once again, these monsters are responsible for another major incident for the Commission, overtaking that of the original's devastation and terror.

## Aesthetic Differences

Alike the regular Deviljho species, this Savage Variant is an Obsidian Deviljho that is in permanent rage mode, which mode is randomly chosen whenever hunters encounter one. Savage Obsidian Deviljho at first appear to be just a recoloured regular Savage Deviljho given an additional fire mode, however hunters will soon get to see more differences. On a closer look, they will see that the spines and spikes on its body and tail are a crimson colour and the scales appear to have a fiery shine to them in their gaps that glows a fainter crimson.

When in Dragon Rage, the Draconic smoke aura appears around its head alike a standard Savage with more intensity. Most notably, there is much more smoke emitting from the aura.

When in Fire Rage, there will be an aura of fire on its maw, legs and tail. Powdery orange smoke emits from the aura. If poisoned during this mode, a silvery saliva drips from its mouth that makes its bites and aftereffect of its fire attacks from its maw inflict Undrea.

When tired, the saliva it produces will be red or orange in colour depending on the mode and slightly tints the fangs that colour too, which decreases ones elemental resistance. If poisoned or touches poison, it drools a reddish purple saliva that inflicts Noxious Poison.

When pushed to the limit they activate the infamous Blaze State. A crimson aura smokes off all its rage-enhanced parts with a mixture of black smoke and dark orange powdery smog emitting from the Blaze energy. Now the element resistance reducing saliva now flows together with all bites, another crimson colour, and it will include Undrea in it and aftereffects if it encounters poison.

## Explanation for Differences

Obsidian Deviljho that have cannibalised a member of their kind and ingested much in the list of prey and the minerals of the earth. With such energy, they are in a constant state of rage from their overwhelming internal heat that forces them to hunt and destroy their environments in attempts to expel the energy.

## Behaviour

Savage Obsidian Deviljho are a raging version of a monster that is already extremely aggressive. If one sees something that is so much as even the slightest bother to it, the brute will destroy or kill it. There is no other alternatives for it, once angered it will fight its rival to the death. Hunters are no exception to this.

## Unlock Requirements

In the New World, in order to begin the Savage Obsidian Deviljho questline, the hunter must complete the storyline of the standard Obsidian Deviljho, hunt at least one Savage Deviljho, completed the Ruiner Nergigante assignment and be at MR100 or higher, cleared the Furious Rajang and Raging Brachydios special assignments, and then finally complete the Veznurom storyline and wait 4 days/quests.

## Savage Obsidian Deviljho Questline

As with the standard Obsidian Deviljho before it, the Savage Obsidian Deviljho has a storyline of its own. One that is as dramatic as the original.

Unfortunately, it isn't done yet. You won't be dissatisfied...

* **Roar**: Done when combat begins or enraged, blockable with High Grade Earplugs.
* **Red Hot Toenails**: Any physical hit from its foot will cause Fireblight from their severe heat.
* **Toxic Saliva**: When tired its saliva will poison due to the metal contents within.
* **Speedy Fiery Bite**: Huffs a flame into its mouth and chomps forward. Its a replacement for the regular fiery bite so its bites now cause Fireblight for thirty seconds.
* **Smoke Huff**: Exhales a black cloud of smoke that by itself inflicts Element Down, but remains stationary for a few seconds and if inflamed will go up in flame. Can be done in a variety of ways.
* **Silver Puddles**: Will vomit up a pool of Resistance Down liquid that acts like an alternate version to the smoke.

**(Enraged Only)**

* **Smoke Screen**: When it goes enraged the smoke from it will completely engulf the area, creating a smoke bomb effect with thicker black smoke.
* **360° Fire Breath Withstanding**: When savage does this attack it will **not** come out of rage mode after. Along with this the attacks breath has the same range as before but is done much faster than a normal Obsidian Deviljho.
* **Smoking Aura**: Going too close to its head and staying there for more than three seconds inflicts Resistance Down from the smoke.
* **Embers**: Savage will stand up on its hind legs and use its breath and aura to create a explosion above it that rains multiple flares all over the place. This attack is done alarming fast.
* **760° Fire Thrower**: An advanced form of the 360° spin that begins directly above it and circles then ends right underneath it. Even then it won't end its rage.
* **Burning Tail**: Will breath smoke then fire onto its tail, enlighting it to cause Fireblight on the slightest touch.
* **Fiery Mouth**: Once enraged all bites inflict fireblight with being needing enlightenment.
* **Tis Wroth**: Savage will suddenly go berserk, biting furiously at everything and swinging its tail and even breathing fire in short bursts. If done twice it shall begin its strongest attack, the **Jhonova**.
* **Jhonova**: Obsidian Savage will surround its entire body in a smoke sphere as the smoke screen grows thicker. It builds flame around its head and mouth and stands up on its hind legs. Shaking its head the smoke glows before it roars. Right next to it the sphere will erupt in a dirty flame inferno causing extremely high damage, and anyone in roar effect distance gets dragon winded and inflicted with Fireblight. This will make it go into tired mode instantly after.

## Trivia

* They are known to go beyond the levels of a regular Savage Deviljho's rage as they lose all sense once enraged.
* Some argue how it even manages to hold such heat and fire inside of its body from the intensity of it all.
