I will always have a soft spot for Kut-ku, the first monster I had to face.

They speculate it's for healing.
So it takes 30 seconds longer to kill it now? :-D
Underground Cave looks great; very atmospheric, even in the scans.

Maybe if they perform way above expectations we might. Capcom would probably want to capitalize on that popularity asap and with online in 4, a major hurdle to selling it to americans is removed.
But it probably wont perform that well and/or capcom will decide to wait on a Ultimate 4G version for dual release again that will take a year and a half.

8-4 is going to need to work 8-8
Nelscylla (ネルスキュラ
- Chelicera (arachnid) species.
- Builds nests in caves, utilizes its nest to attack, and can attack in various abnormal manners to corner its prey.
- Has a hidden chelicera in its jaw. This is also used for attacks.
- Can hang from ceilings using silk, or hang from the underside of its nest.
Attacks include:
- Lunge: Sprays a thread of silk towards its target, then uses it to lunge at them.
- Slash: slashes at its target with its claws.
- Chelicera attack: utilizes its chelicera like a pincer attack.
- Silk attack: Shoots silk at target, binding them when it hits, preventing all movement.
Tetsukabura (テツカブラ
- Amphibious (frog) species.
- Has a giant jaw.
- Utilizes its hind legs to jump around in any direction, even while on steep terrain.
- Can use its jaw like a shovel.
Attacks include:
- Foreleg swipe: mows down anything that's right in front of it.
- Chomp: bites down on its target.
- Mucus: spits mucus from its mouth. Example shown of a hunter climbing, and Tetsukabura spitting its mucus at him.
- Boulder lift: lifts up a boulder using its jaw as a shovel. Similar to a forklift.
- Boulder crush: after lifting up a boulder with its jaw, Tetsukabura proceeds to bite down on it, crushing it, sending a hail of shrapnel around.
- Boulder throw: throws a boulder it has lifted up at its prey.
- Hunts Jaggi using its giant jaw.
Riding/climbing up the Tetsukabura might be the key to conquering him.
Yian Kut-ku
- Can climb/ride on him now.
Attacks include:
- Spit flame: spits flammable liquid from its mouth. Explodes when it hits a surface.
- Back jump: jumps backwards, can switch to a number of different attacks from this position.
- Can now hunt and eat prey, which recovers its stamina.
- Consecutive peck: uses its beak to incessantly peck at its target.
- Panic run: lunges forward while spitting flames everywhere.
Gypceros
Attacks include:
- Acid spit: spits poisonous liquid; target will be poisoned if it hits.
- Flash: releases light in its general surroundings when it screeches.
- Tail attack: swipes its tail around. Has a long reach given its gum-esque tail.
- Can attack hunters while they're climbing by either flying up to them to attack or climbing up the wall.
Underground cave
- New field.
- Contains both outdoor areas and cave-like areas.
- Cave part has giant crystals and plants that give off light.
- Camp area shows smoke rising in the background.
- Image of a hunter jumping into a gaping hole.
- Some areas with gas billowing out from the ground are also present.
- Area shown that looks like a giant net, presumably a spider's nest.
- Area shown with a pool of greenish liquid with a flock of some type of animal flying above.
Insect Staff
- Can harvest "ex" that strengthen you by utilizing the staff to throw/release your insects.
- White "ex" strengthens movement, red strengthens attacks, orange strengthens defense, green strengthens vitality recovery.
- Type/color of "ex" received is dependent on which part of the monster you attack.
- Can have numerous different types of ex strengthening effects on you at the same time.
- Mark monsters with smoke to make it easier for insects to reach the monster when released. Insects will fly towards the marked monster or portion of a monster.
- Releasing insects at a monster that isn't marked will just send them forward.
- Can mark a specific monster, or mark a specific part of a monster.
- Order in which you harvest ex from monsters is: mark monster, release insects at the monster, insects will harvest ex, insects that have successfully harvested ex will glow with the color of the type of ex they harvested, have insects return to retrieve the harvested ex (this last part is automatically done when you have the insects return to you).
- If insects don't harvest any ex, they won't glow. Return them and try again.
- Have insects harvest even more ex to further strengthen yourself.
That should be it.

Yeah that area looked much improved.
I realized it's an artwork after a closer look

I don't know - there's definitely a screen as well (guy running) which looks improved.
That's a frog/toad.
Yeah. The first page kind of made it look like it was a Brute Wyvern. If only.

Riding Yian Kut-Ku? Megaton!
Looking forward to the inevitable "Felyne racing" spin-off.

Nelscylla sounds epic. My favorite MH4 monster so far.
Always made me laugh a little when it went into Rage Mode. Then it just starts spamming everything. Poison, Flashing, Running around like a chicken with its head cut off, and that stupid elastic tail.
Generally a fun fight though, since if you can kill a Kut-Ku, you can kill a Gypceros.
Guess that means we'll also be seeing Purple Gypceros and Blue Kut-Ku?
Five. Cover monster + New Jhen.
