Flaming Espinas

Flaming Espinas is a Subspecies of Espinas introduced in Monster Hunter Frontier Season 2.5.

Physiology

Flaming Espinas features a brown carapace with red spines, claws, and horns. When enraged, its body is covered in glowing orange veins. It is otherwise identical to the common Espinas.

Abilities

Flaming Espinas is capable of producing larger and more powerful bursts of fire than the common Espinas, and is more resistant to damage. Instead of inflicting Paralysis, its breath now contains a concentrated acid that can melt the armor of their prey. Flaming Espinas' most noteworthy ability is the ability to charge up their breath attack before unleashing it in a single burst, which causes a massive fiery explosion that scatters toxic clouds.

Behavior

Similarly to the common Espinas, it is a docile and passive wyvern which will only attack when provoked. It sleeps for much of the day, and is usually encountered in this state. Similar to the common Espinas, this monster is powerful enough to face and even defeat Elder Dragons such as the Teostra.

Habitat

Flaming Espinas is known to inhabit the Tower and Forlorn Arena (MHRS), where it resides in solitude at the very top. In addition, it can be found in the Gorge, Citadel, and at the Great Forest Peak.

Other Non-Subspecies Forms

Hard Core (HC) Flaming Espinas

SR51+ required to hunt.

Members of the Flaming Espinas with longer, more developed spikes down the middle of its back as well as more spikes on its wings, all with a white tip including the horn. They are more aggressive and more vibrant when enraged as their veins glow an unusual green.

Like HC common Espinas, they have the ability to charge at incredible speeds, scratching the ground as the only warning. A new attack they perform is ducking down while charging up a giant fireball similar to the ones they make huge explosions with, only it spits it into the sky, which bursts into multiple balls that rain on its enemies with incredible precision aimed at up to four targets at once.

In-Game Description

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak An Espinas subspecies with a slightly more muted body color. The boldness of the standard Espinas remains: run-of-the-mill attacks won't rouse Flaming Espinas from their slumber. Their breath attack contains a powerful poison, and a dense acid that deteriorates armor. Take this attack head-on, and you won't stand a chance... Threat Level (危険度): ★★★★★★★★★ Monster Hunter Frontier G (?) Monster Hunter Online 分类 飞龙种，棘龙的亚种。 生境范围 与居住在树海的棘龙不同，棘茶龙的栖息地多为峡谷或古塔。 生态位 强大的身体力量，锐利的棘刺，吐息的猛毒火焰，拥有强大实力的棘茶龙在峡谷中成为了可怕的掠��者。 适应性 天生憨厚老实的棘茶龙很少会主动捕食，多数是在被吵醒后顺便填饱肚子，然后会再度入睡。如此惫懒的棘茶龙没有成为偷袭者的口粮全仰仗于布满尖刺的甲壳，既不用担心在睡眠中被吃掉，也不用担忧到手的猎物被抢走。 行为 棘茶龙拥有比棘龙强度更高的甲壳，毒性更猛的火焰，甚至冲刺的速度都要更快更猛，无法抵抗的陨石毒火更是让其他的掠食者都对其敬而远之，哪怕是轰龙也会选择避开这个毒刺猛兽。
