Daimyo Hermitaur

A large Carapaceon with a giant monster's skull on its back. Fond of the sand, it is mainly seen in the desert or jungle zones. Living underground, it surfaces when hungering for a snack.

A red Carapaceon that lives in the Desert and the Jungle and makes its home in a Monoblos skull. It has a special guard that deflects attacks from dull melee weapons and even bounces back some arrows and shots. The impregnable defense of its large claws has also earned it the name “Shield Crab.”

A subspecies of Daimyo Hermitaur that pairs the solid defense of its huge claws with the destructive power of charges using its home, a Diablos skull. The beautiful color of its shell has also earned it the name “Purple Shield Crab.”
