Description
This is the Beithir (aka Bihir, Lightning Wyrm or Lightning serpent). It is steely gray with a silvery underside. Under its cobra-like hood along the side are vent like opening that glow with intense light as electricity charges in them. It can discharge powerful arcs of lightning from its body that instantly kills most anything smaller than a horse. It is about 50 feet long and very vicious. Although not known to have the temper of the fire wyrm it is more whimsical in its temperament. It almost never speaks, but will react to language and especially taunts.Related content

And another creature from Dungeons and Dragons bites the dust, Behir isn't made-up by D&D at all, it was taken from real Mythology!

I can seriously see fighting one of these to be a very dynamic fight...lots of lightning, lots of tail thrashing and lunging...very awesome!

Amazing design! A fantastically dynamic pose and the expression has just the perfect amount of "Who dares disturb my slumber?!" .

Monster Hunters? I only ever played the first one for the playstation. I couldn't continue playing the game, it was disterbing to play a poacher, especially when they were all beat up and bleeding trying to escape you. The wyverns i monster hunter were just basically animals, really big preditory animals. They weren't evil, or even smart enough to consider moralitty. I told myself, "I wouldn't play a game where I poached Tigers, wolves and Rhinos, so I don't feel comfortable even in a fantsy setting." I love Rathalos, I would love him as a mount not a rug.

can't deny a somewhat poacher like feel. however, unlike real poaching, the one at the disadvantage really is You. seems more like you are hunter for resources for a vilalge who i unable to gather them easily on their own. consdering their are seemingly endless supplies of giant wyverns of various type, super ratpors, and life forms ranging from super to mega, it is not unreasonable to try to fend off specimens that get too close. and you never feel like you ever hunted anythign to extinction........ which is sometimes a bad thing. look at thsi bastard [link] while not evil, a natural disaster is not evil either. if you don't kill it it will decimate many towns and fortresses, leaving people open to be preyed upon by the super lifeforms.
and don't underestimate the intelligence of the monsters. most may jsut be creatures, if dangerous or useful ones, but others are obviously intetionally malicious to humans. [link] this guy here could just live his life alone in this old csatle, but he decides to intetionalyl destroy human settlements. worse, he is one of the most powerful creatures in the game. that giant dragon from before? running away from it!

I agree with you, I really do. What happened is I got very powerful in that game, I was a lange weilder, and I had killed Rathalos and many of these wyvers SOOO many times that it started to get pitiful. I was well geird and could solo nearly anything with my character. The lancer is one of the stronger weapon types in the game. I just started getting sad, I guess cuz I wasn't getting my ass kicked.

guess that is the problem with mosnter hunter. get too strong, and your actions seem more cruel. other rpgs make you want to be that strong, cause you are saving the entire world.
that is one of the reasons why my book's mosnters are more enduring. think of it of having the oncept of monster hunter in certain areas; the magical creatures have many parts of their body that can be usable. mixed with dark souls; the mortals never have a true advantage...... guess one of the reasons why my main character is, for general use of term, half monster is because if he was just human, he would need a ass load of plot armor to survive.

That would probably be a gnome or goblin, they, i think, have rudamentary light bulbs. Either way, a bite sized treat.

That reminds me, #2, never ever ever say to a Beithir "1010011010," unless you want to enter the Underworld as a yodelling charcoal briquette.
