Hunter Notes

Monster Characteristics:
Cephalopod predators whose prey include Guardian monsters. The mucus secreted from their tentacles hardens quickly into sharp edges that resemble blades or spears, which is why some call Xu Wu the "Piercing Assassin." The sizable mouth hidden on their underside allows them to devour even rather large prey.

Helpful Hints:
Due to their predatory nature, you can expect Xu Wu to attack Guardians inside their habitat. They have no eyes, but their other senses are developed and they excel at catching prey off guard, especially with their ability to enter small crevices and crawl quickly across the ground. When one exposes its mouth, that means a deadly attack is coming, but with a powerful blow, you might be able to topple the creature.

Additional Information:
Cephalopods that roam the Ruins of Wyveria and prey on Guardians. This often leads to conflicts between the two monsters.
