Species: fanged beast

Fanged Beast is a term used to describe certain monsters from the Monster Hunter game series.

Fanged Beasts (Japanese: 牙獣種 Gajūshu), also known as Pelagus and Primatius monsters in early titles, are beastly, mammalian creatures that lack wings (although some have the ability to glide) introduced in Monster Hunter 2. They are often much faster than other larger threats.

Fanged Beasts were referred to as 'Primatius' in earlier translations due to almost all of the existing members being similar to real-world primates (such as Rajang), although the translation was changed to 'Pelagus' in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. More varieties of these monsters were added in MHP3 (such as the bear-like Arzuros), and were titled 'Fanged Beasts' in the Japanese version. The name 'Fanged Beasts' was used from the English version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate onwards, and later games have introduced more varieties of these monsters.

"Fanged Beasts" is not a true taxonomical classification, instead referring to members of the Pelagusia, Proboscidea and Artiodactyl orders, which also include certain Herbivores. Pelagusia includes most Fanged Beasts, notably the ape-like, bear-like and dog-like ones. Members of the Proboscidea are similar to elephants, and those of the Artiodactyl order possess hooves.
