Attacks/Tactics:Uragaan is a large mineral covered Brute Wyvern that resides in volcanic areas. The monster was introduced in Monster Hunter 3. Its back is lined with hard crystals and its chin is plated with a rock-like shell, suggesting the Uragaan has evolved a tough exterior due to life in volcanic regions. It is also able to eat rocks in order to regain its stamina.
Uragaan's signature ability is to roll its body into a wheel to increase its speed and agility. It will do this often in an attempt to crush the hunter. Uragaan may conduct either a short roll, or a longer one where it may circle back for another stab at the hunter. It can also produce a gas, much like Gravios, that will put Hunters to sleep or can inflict fireblight; the effect depends on the color, ghost-blue or red respectively. Uragaan's body shape is also similar to Barroth's body shape, as they are both Brute Wyverns. Uragaan will use its large jaw to attack, primarily by slamming it into the ground. It may also attack with a wide tail sweep, which flings large, explosive rocks into the area. If this has been done, the next time Uragaan uses a heavy jaw smash, all explosive rocks in the area will explode.
