Great Girros is a Large Monster in Monster Hunter World (MHW). ドスギルオス(痺賊竜) in Japanese. Great Girros, is recognized for its serpentine form and ability to command a pack of smaller Girros. This monster is adept at inducing paralysis with its venomous attacks. While lacking the imposing size of some counterparts, Great Girros poses a unique threat with its toxic assaults. Hunters must exercise caution, as paralysis can leave them vulnerable to subsequent attacks from both Great Girros and its subordinate pack. Staying vigilant, countering its venomous effects, and strategically targeting its parts are crucial tactics for a successful encounter with this unsettling creature.
