Characteristics
Amphibious monster resembling a frog. Its appetite is infinite, and if it sees anything moving, it will gobble it up, dirt and all. It's theorized that the dirt it consumes builds up in its stomach and aids in digestion. If it eats something that it cannot digest it will throw it back up. The cranial disc protecting its tender head is said to harden and become a more brilliant blue over time.

Tetranadon Hunting Tips

After a large meal, its movements become sluggish, but don't be fooled; its swings become more weighty and destructive as well! Watch for when it moves slowly, strike true, and it'll belch up its dinner and return to normal.

How to Beat Tetranadon

Be Wary of Tetranadon's Front

Strike Tetranadon's Expanded Belly

Rush Attack Can Be Dodged Sideways

Dodge the Clap

Read the Shadows

Use the Wirefall After Being Restrained

Bring Nullberries

Be Wary of Tetranadon's Front

Most of Tetranadon's attacks are performed in front of it. Be ready to dodge sideways to avoid damage.

Strike Tetranadon's Expanded Belly

Tetranadon's belly expands when it eats. During this phase, it is slow and susceptible to attack combinations.

Take advantage of this temporary weakness. Deal as much damage as possible towards the belly. Tetranadon's belly will contract and eject its contents after receiving enough damage, knocking it down.

Rush Attack Can Be Dodged Sideways

Tetranadon's Rush Attack is a straightforward move. Move sideways to avoid this attack. This attack will be harder to dodge if Tetranadon's size is expanded. Beware as Tetranadon can do a double rush!

Dodge the Clap

The Tetranadon will attempt to stun the hunter by clapping its massive paws, attempting to trap them between its hands. If hit by this, the hunter will be left stunned. Avoid this move by dodge rolling backwards or wirebugging away.

Read the Shadows

The shadow of Tetranadon acts as a tell when it attempts a Tetrana-splash or any lunging move. Watch for its shadow as it is about to land, this will give you the idea of which direction you can dodge.

Use the Wirefall After Being Restrained

Tetranadon restrains and slams the hunter to the ground. You can Wirebug away once on the ground before the it slams you during the follow-up attack.

Bring Nullberries

Tetranadon's Water Breath Attack inflicts Waterblight on impact. Always have a few Nulberries with you during the hunt to negate this potential deadly effect!

Tetranadon Attack Patterns

Name	Description
Waterball Barrage/Bomb	Regular: Three waterballs are shot at the hunter. Expanded: A large waterball drops on the hunter.
Tetrana-splash	Tetranadon leaps and will belly flop at its target.
Ground Pound	Regular: A quick stomp that knocks the hunter off its feet. Expanded: Beware of this stomp as it deals serious damage and knocks anything off their feet.
Rock Throw	A sluggish attempt of Tetranadon at attacking with a solid projectile.
Pebble Wave	A wave of air, pebbles, and water that deals damage and knocks anything off its feet.
Kappa Charge	Regular: A snout-first paw swipe rush attack that has a chance of bing done twice Expanded: The Tetranadon recklessly charges, gut-frst for maximum efficacy.

Waterball Barrage/Bomb

The Tetranadon is capable of unleashing water balls from its giant gut. It will spit three water balls during its normal form, but when expanded, it will shoot one giant water ball instead. When hit, you immediately contract waterblight.

Tetrana-splash

The Tetranadon, in both regular form and expanded form, will jump high up in the air and attempt to crush the hunter. It's an attack with a huge hitbox and high damage so make sure to dodge it!

Ground Pound

Similar to a Sumo Wrestler, the Tetranadon will raise one of its feet and slam it to the ground.

When in expanded form, it will also cause tremors so having some Tremor Resistance skill will help. You can easily get out of the range of this attack as the Tetranadon winds up before slamming its foot to the ground.

Rock Throw

When in expanded form, the Tetranadon can pick up rocks and throw them at the player. As soon as the rock is picked up, it's a good idea to watch its movements to easily dodge the attack.

Pebble Wave

The Tetranadon uses its mighty paw to send a hail of pebbles with water towards the hunter. This particular splash can be easily dodged as it only goes in one direction. It has the acceleration to rip the sound barrier, so avoid getting hit by this as it can knock you off your feet.

Kappa Charge

The Tetranadon will charge at you gut-first with reckless abandon, attempting to knock you out of commission. This move can be blocked with a weapon that can guard. If the Tetranadon is badly injured, it will deflate after charging.
