Pukei-Pukei

Welcome to IGN's Monster Hunter: World Wiki Guide. This page contains information on the Monster - Pukei-Pukei

Ecology

With a face that resembles a chameleon mixed with a frog, complete with extendable tongue, Pukei-Pukei has a pair of green wings, and is covered in green scales that range across the color's spectrum. Feathers adorn both its neck as well as its arms. In addition to its tongue, it has in its arsenal of weapons a poison it can combine in its mouth with properties of food its eaten previously. This poison's status effect, which it can spew from its mouth or tail at its opponents, is dependent upon its previous meal (feeding on scatter nuts will give its poison the nuts' stun ability).

Pukei-Puei Strategy

You’ll find Pukei floating around zone 6, so entering through the zone 11 campsite is most likely your best bet. Track it as normal until you come upon it. When fighting Pukei try not to be anywhere in front of its mouth. Its long tongue and toxic projectiles make its front the most dangerous spot. Be wary of its toxic spit attack, remember those Antidotes? Time to use em. If you get poisoned by this attack, disengage with the monster and then use one, ridding yourself of poison. Follow it up with a potion to heal any damage it took before re-engaging back into the fray. Try to sever Pukei’s tail to decrease the range it has when spin attacking.
