The Purple Gypceros will run through the area swinging its head from left to right in an arc, spitting poison and hitting everything in its path. |

Just run roll to the sides if it comes after the hunter. |
None, as it moves too fast to effectively counter-attack. |

Area Fly |
The Purple Gypceros will fly around the area a few times, then soar towards the hunter. It also does this, but without the damage. |
Very Rare/Rarely |
Guard, and don't run to the side! If Wind Press is active, this move is much less dangerous. |
Run behind the Purple Gypceros and hit it after it lands.(for both) |
Nearly Fatal/none, but wind effect
|
Run to Tail Whip |
The Purple Gycepros will run in a straight line and when it passes the hunter, it will swing its rubber tail 4 times in large arcs towards its rear. The tail whip may also happen after any of its moves that involve charging/leaping, but not as often. |
Occasionally (Only in Hard/G Level Quests) |
Run/dodge in the opposite direction it was running before the tail whips and keep distance. |
Only when the 3rd tail whip ends, hit its rear. The 3rd tail whip has the least range, so you can run towards it. |
