Warhead Brachydios are Deviants of Brachydios.
Physiology
Warhead Brachydios are much larger than normal Brachydios and have spiky protrusions on their horns and forelimbs. Their obsidian hides sport more pronounced plates and ridges and is now a steel blue color due to the presence of metal. The slime mold, once a bright green, is now a vibrant red color. The slime now appears to grow around its jaws and on its tail.
Abilities
The main adaption that puts them apart from normal Brachydios is the large amount of slime mold found on their body. This slime mold is unusually active on its forelegs, tail, back, and head. The slime mold is extremely volatile and will explode almost immediately once removed from the Brute Wyvern's body.

Information
| Warhead Brachydios | |
|---|---|
|
The Warhead is essentially a walking bomb that can detonate whenever it pleases. Each explosion generated by this Deviant is the equivalent of an erupting volcano, causing the earth to shake. Many hunters who have faced it were blown to smithereens, so it requires special permission to hunt. |
Taxonomy
- Order: Saurischia
- Suborder: Theropoda
- Superfamily: Forefoot Fist Wyvern
- Family: Brachy
Warhead Brachydios is the Deviant of Brachydios.
Habitat Range
Warhead Brachydios have been sighted in the Deserted Island, Frozen Seaway, Polar Field, Polar Sea, Artic Ridge, Forlorn Arena, Tundra, Volcanic Hollow, and the Volcano.
Ecological Niche
Brachydios is an apex predator, that has been shown to be able to defeat other large predatory monsters like Agnaktor. It is likely that Brachydios competes with Agnaktor, Rathalos, Brute Tigrex, Tetsucabra, Teostra, Seregios, Glavenus, and Deviljho. Brachydios will also prey on smaller predators such as Great Wroggi, Great Baggi, and Great Jaggi. With the unique slime mold at its disposal and its extreme aggression towards intruding monsters and hunters, it would be more than a match for most other predators. Brachydios will occasionally feed on ore. Elder Dragons like Alatreon, Crimson Fatalis and Dire Miralis, along with the Flying Wyvern Akantor could be a huge threat to Brachydios because all of them are extremely dangerous, so the Brute Wyvern would prefer to stay away from them at all times.
Biological Adaptations
Warhead Brachydios have the same adaptions as Brachydios, however, there is a few differences between them. Warhead Brachydios are much larger compared to normal Brachydios. The main adaption that puts them apart from normal Brachydios is the extremely reactive and explosive slime mold found on their bodies. This slime mold has become unusually active on its forelegs, jaws, tail, and head. This further developed slime mold is what gives the, their additional name, Warhead. The reason is unknown, though it could be just because of old age. The Brute Wyvern's have reinforced their armored shells to better protect themselves against the explosive blasts that the mold creates on impact. They have done by melting metal ores and minerals and attaching them with lava, similarly to Uragaan.
Behavior
Warhead Brachydios are extremely aggressive and territorial creatures and will not hesitate to attack if they feel threatened or challenged. They appear to be more intelligent as they make use of the slime mold that grows on their jaws and tail in conjunction with the slime that already grows on its fists and horn. The Hunter's Guild only allow hunters with special permits to hunt them down.

- Tail Slam: Warhead Brachydios looks back and balances on its forelegs, performing a hand stand. Warhead Brachydios raises its tail up high in the air and brings it down, slamming it against the ground and creating a medium-sized slime puddle upon impact and inflicts Blastblight. In Rage Mode this attacks causes an explosions.
- Explosive Dive: Warhead Brachydios walks backwards while licking its forearms, and then runs forward and leaps a considerable distance to attack the player.

- Triple Supernova: The slime on Warhead Brachydios's arms and horn glow white and slams one arm down on the ground, creating a large explosion to the corresponding side. It slams down the other arm and creates another explosion. It finishes off the attack by slamming its head against the ground and creating a massive explosion around it.
Notes
- The horn and both arms can be broken. Its tail now has to be broken once first before it can be severed and carved.
- Its additional name, Warhead, is a reference to Brachydios being based off a missle. A warhead is the explosive head of a missile, torpedo, or similar weapon.
- Warhead Brachydios' roar requires HG Earplugs to block.
- Similarly to Raging Brachydios, the next attack on its head, arms, or tail will activate the slime and it will explode after half a second. This only happens when in Rage Mode.
- The slime puddles left behind by its attacks will turn from red to pink, then white before exploding
- The puddles are also slightly bigger than Brachydios' puddles.
