Notes[]
General Notes
- Purple Slicemargl's head, front arms, back, and tail can be wounded.
- Unlike most other monsters, Purple Slicemargl's do not roar when they enter Rage Mode. Instead, they will slam their arms on the ground in front of them, extending the bones on their arms in the process.
- Purple Slicemargl's eyes also glow red and leave trails while enraged much like the normal ones.
- Like the normal ones Hunters can only break the arms when it's enraged.
- Doing this will prevent it from being able to inflict Status Ailments with those parts until the bones regenerate.
