Description[]
Azure Hypnoc
The Azure Hypnocatrice is a color-swap of the Hypnocatrice. It debuted in Monster Hunter Frontier alongside the Akura Vashimu, and is thus far exclusive. The Azure Hypnocatrice is stronger than its other two counterparts, with a different moveset. To fight this rare species of Hypnocatrice, you need a new helmet called a "Victory Cat", gained by winning the Hunter's Festival.
It is only found in one area, high above the Great Forest. No other monsters are ever seen there.

Strategies[]
This thing is a weak POS when it's hit with stun weapons. Try to bring stun weapons when hunting with a group. Another good thing to have is Evade +1 or 2.
