Volvidon

General Notes

• Volvidon was voted 207th place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.^[1]
  • It shares this plcement with Snowbaron Lagombi.
• Volvidon's name comes from the word revolve since it rolls around most of the time, and the suffix "-don" was added by the localization team to give the name a dinosaur-esque feel.
• When Volvidon is low on stamina it will fail to spit paralyzing fluid and to attack with its tongue.
  • It will also fall over when attempting to roll.
• To recover Stamina, Volvidon will prey on Altaroth or Bnahabra; it uses its tongue to pluck them from their nests.
• The tough shell on Volvidon back can be broken.
• Ironically, it's tongue can be attacked when it uses its Tongue Paralyze attack.
• Volvidon's Bouncing Jump attack can be blocked if the player guards against it if they are absolutely not hitting the player directly from above.
• If the player manages to hit the Volvidon while it is rolling, its roll will be interrupted and the Volvidon will fall back and remain motionless on the ground for a few seconds. This leaves it exposed and vulnerable. Monsters can do this to Volvidon as well. As such, if the player should avoid hitting nearby Jaggi/Jaggia. Small Monsters that are more likely to interrupt the battle, such as Rhenolophos and Bullfangos, should not be a priority but should not be exempt from the player's rampage.
  • If the player is ranged and manages to hit Volvidon enough while it's doing it's Bouncing Jump, it'll fall back to the ground, and remain motionless for a few seconds.
• Just like Lagombi, Volvidon will leave an area when almost dead by limping, not rolling.
