Hey there, hunter! Ready to take on the Desert Seltas in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate? This subspecies of Seltas is a bit different from its common cousin, and knowing its tricks will make all the difference. Let's dive in! ### Physiology You'll notice the Desert Seltas sports a cool green, orange, and brown shell. It doesn't seem to fly as well as the regular Seltas, but don't let that fool you. Its most distinctive feature is the double-pronged structure on its head, unlike the single barbed spine of the Seltas. Oh, and keep an eye out for its bright green eyes! ### Abilities This desert dweller has a couple of nasty tricks up its sleeve. First off, it can burrow underground and pop out to surprise you – so always be aware of the ground around you! It also has an attack where it spits out three yellow globs that can inflict Paralysis. Watch out for those, as being paralyzed can leave you wide open for more attacks. ### Habitat You'll find the Desert Seltas lurking in a few familiar places: the Dunes, the Ancestral Steppe, and the Sunken Hollow. ### Game Appearances Desert Seltas made its debut in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and is a key Neopteron you'll encounter in this game. ### In-Game Description The Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate description calls it a mid-sized Neopteron with forked horns and a broad foreleg attack range. It mentions its ability to burrow and its aggressive nature, using paralysis-inducing fluid and charging attacks. Its Threat Level is rated ★★★. ### MH4U Breakable Parts Good news! You can break its Horn. Aim carefully to get that extra carve! ### Notes * Frenzy Virus: Be aware that Desert Seltas can be infected by the Frenzy Virus in MH4U. * Stamina: When it's low on stamina, it might not be able to shoot its paralysis globs, which could be a small window of opportunity. * Desert Seltas Queen: This is a weird one, but in MH4U, the Desert Seltas Queen can actually grab the Desert Seltas right out of the ground and use it as a projectile! Pretty wild, right? Happy hunting, and stay safe out there!
