In Tri, this indicated which elemental resistance the Bnahabra would lower with its projectiles, but in all other games they simply lower all elemental resistances, making the color of the wings an aesthetic quality (except in Stories, where later-encountered colors are stronger). Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The color of their wings depends on where they're found.Third-generation successors to Vespoids, filling their role as the games' resident flying annoyances, though unlike their earlier kin, Bnahabras can also shoot corrosive liquids that reduce the target's elemental resistance depending on the region. There's no difference between them and their green cousins aside from coloration, though. Palette Swap: Orange/yellow Slagoths can be found in volcanic regions.Mix-and-Match Critters: A hippopotamus-sized herbivore with a floppy, frog-like hide and a rhinoceros horn.Mighty Glacier: They move slowly, but can take more punishment than the average Herbivore.In the Hood: Slagtoth armor has a hooded cowl for its headpiece.Herbivores Are Friendly: Subverted, they attack on sight.Camera Screw: Their large bodies and slow speed causes them to block the camera more often than not.The only thing that keeps them from being as annoying as Bullfangos or Rhenoplos is their terrible speed. Angry, Angry Hippos: They bear more than a passing resemblance to a hippo, and can be very aggressive towards hunters.Large herbivores who, despite their frame and fat appearance, can hold their own with body slams or a bone lump on their noses. Use Your Head: Their attacks consist of headbutting and charging headfirst.Temper-Ceratops: They're no Diablos, sure, but these ceratopsian monsters are still aggressive and persistent to charge hunters that wander too close for their liking.Both monsters appear eventually in 4 Ultimate and Generations, averting this trope. Suspiciously Similar Substitute: To the Apceros: aggressive, armored desert-dwelling herbivores that are more of a nuisance than a threat.Stout Strength: The male Rhenoplos armor's chest piece is designed to look as if it fits around a huge belly, but it's still sturdy and protective.Mix-and-Match Critters: They're mainly based off of dinosaurs such as triceratops and protoceratops, but their thick club-like tails also bring ankylosaurus to mind. Mighty Glacier: They move slowly, but have decent defenses as far as Herbivores go.Herbivores Are Friendly: No they're not! They'll charge at you on sight!.Hard Head: They get stunned if they run into a rock, but they're otherwise unharmed.Dash Attack: It tends to ram at you carelessly enough to not notice rocks will temporarily stun it.Bullfight Boss: They were designed with this trope in mind since they can be tricked into ramming solid walls and stunning themselves, but they can easily be killed without this tactic.Rhinoceros-like herbivores whose poor eyesight is compensated for by acute hearing.
