Bishaten Characteristics

Bishaten's Strong Tail

Bishaten's unique characteristics pertain mainly to its tail. In the trailer, it is seen standing on its tail alluding that its strength lies on it. It also uses its tail to throw fruits which is one of its unique attacks.

It could be possible that cutting the tail would weaken it immensely making for an easier hunt.

Bishaten Attack Patterns

Fruit Throwing Attack

Bishaten throws fruits with status effects. In one of the trailers, the hunter is hit by a purple fruit that seems to induce poison. If this is confirmed then Bishaten is a very troublesome monster to deal with.

Tail Attack

Bishaten also attacks with its tail while holding a fruit. This gives its tail attacks the ability to induce status effects like poison depending on which fruit it is holding!

Aerial Dash Attack

Bishaten also has an aerial dash attack while spinning like a drill similar to Malfestio. This attack is very fast so be careful if you are using melee weapons!
