The Aptonoth (アプトノス, aputonosu) is a small Herbivore introduced in the original Monster Hunter.

Physiology and Abilities

Aptonoth are docile herbivore monsters that can be found in forests and plains. Their heads are adorned with ornamental horns, while their tails grow large spiked thagomizers. Their hide is grey, with dark stripes lining their spines.

In the wild, Aptonoth are generally seen grazing in groups across grasslands and fields. They are passive monsters and flee at the first sign of danger. The largest individual of a group might attempt to deter an enemy with a few well-placed headbutts and tail-slams, but combat is rarely a viable option for the Aptonoth.

Like the closely related Apceros, Aptonoth also build nests out in the open, where their nutritious eggs are often stolen by scavengers and hunters alike.

Aptonoth are sometimes used as beasts of burden, and are occasionally seen dragging carts and hauling cargo alongside merchants and travelers[1].
