A nefarious flying wyvern that travels the world in search of prey. It scatters its own explosive scales over a wide area to prey on whatever gets caught in the blast. In some places, this has earned it the nickname "Bomber Wyvern.". Threat Level: ★★★★★★★★ |
| Monster Hunter World: Iceborne | |
|---|---|
|
A nefarious flying wyvern that travels the New World in search of prey. It scatters explosive scales over a wide area to prey on whatever gets caught in the blast. Useful Information: The scales that Bazelgeuse scatters explode with tremendous force, making them extremely deadly. Focus on its legs to knock it down, and then knock out its scale-generating organs. |

The Bazelgeuse is feared above most other Flying Wyvern. That is partially due to its explosive scales, but moreso because of its disposition. Calling it aggressive would be an understatement - the Bazelgeuse actively seeks out conflict. This goes as far as that the wyvern will actively stalk ongoing turf wars from above, only to swoop in with a bombardment right as the other parties appear exhausted. It will then attempt to finish off anyone that is left, with no regard for the size or strength of its enemy. The Bazelgeuse is so persistent in this that some scholars believe it to have some sort of mechanism that allows it to "sense" conflict. This behavior has made it quite infamous among hunters. Surprisingly, the Bazelgeuse has only begun appearing in the New World recently - there were no reports of it prior to Zorah Magdaros' Elder Crossing. Perhaps the upheaval of that event lured the conflict-hungry Bazelgeuse into the New World, where it then began terrorizing all possible habitats.
The Bazelgeuse has numerous physiological adaptations that differentiate it from other flying wyvern. Its wings are wide and sleek, with smooth membranes. This construction enables a specialized form of flight that focuses on gliding rather than flapping, making it essentially silent - extremely useful for bombastic ambushes. The Bazelgeuse's explosive ability is powered by its "blasting scales". These unique structures are not actually scales, but rather hardened lumps of a special liquid the Bazelgeuse secretes under its neck and tail. As this liquid accumulates, the lump eventually drops off the creature. These blasting scales will detonate violently when struck or after being exposed to air for long enough. The Bazelgeuse uses this ability to dominate the ecosystem, raining down terror as it flies. It will strategically detach the scales and spread them around wildly. It can even shoot a short-range fire ball out of its mouth to manually detonate any scales that might be taking too long. Curiously, the Bazelgeuse does not have a flame sac. In moments of intense conflict. The Bazelgeuse can further activate an "enraged" state where the gaps between its scales begin to glow. This raises the wyverns blood pressure and supercharges its metabolism, making its scales more volatile and quickening their regeneration. Researchers note that the Bazelgeuse seems to be able to activate this state at will.
A few theories regarding the Bazelgeuse's behavior have been suggested. The Guild believes that they may originate from the mountains around and beyond the Elder's Recess, where the high cliffs would likely be ideal for young Bazelgeuse training their gilder wings. Hailing from such a competitive environment, its possible that the Bazelgeuse feels a natural urge to monopolize access to prey in its territory, attempting to completely annihilate any possible competitors. After the Zorah Crossing altered the topology of the continent, its possible that the Bazelgeuse spread across the region and began claiming the entire New World as their territory - hence why they actively seek out conflicts with apex predators, who they see as rivals. The most extreme results of this have been the battles between the Bazelgeuse and the equally aggressive Deviljho populations, which leave entire ecosystems at the brink of ruin.
Developer's Note: The development team wanted to keep the locales of the game fresh and interesting as players headed into High Rank. They imagined the maps, which the player would at this point already be familiar with, embroiled in chaos and territorial conflict. The idea of a flying wyvern that drops bombs followed quite naturally. Yuya Tokuda was quite happy to hear how much of an impact Bazelgeuse made on players, especially overseas. Bazelgeuse was also devised as a New World counterpart to Deviljho. Kaname Fujioka remarks that while the Bazelgeuse is quite fierce, its large wings are awkward, and its face is somewhat handsome.
