Balahara - Attacks And Behaviors
Roar
It's confirmed that the Balahara employs roars, which temporarily stun a Hunter for a few seconds. Maybe the skill Earplugs will also be included in Wilds to help combat this.
Mucus Attack
The trailer shows the Balahara spitting mucus with its mouth. If you are hit, it is possible that it may apply a debuff or a status ailment on a hunter so it's better to dodge it.
Sand Rush
The Balahara in the trailer burrows in the sand and rushes forward. It's likely that it can't be attacked while in the sand, requiring hunters to bring it out first.
Brought Out Of The Sand With A Slinger
In the trailer, the hunter shoots at the ground with a Slinger to bring it out. It could be that there are specific Slinger Ammo for this that works similarly to the Sonic Bomb.
Rushing From Quicksand Formation
The Balahara was observed creating quicksand in a part of the field and rushing towards the Hunter from within it. When in the quicksand, it's necessary to follow the Balahara with the camera to know where it is coming from.
