Maurice “KheZu” Gutmann Beginnings

Maurice “KheZu” Gutmann started his professional career as a Heroes of Newerth (HoN) player. His first significant involvement with a team was with DmSn/KD. Here, he collaborated with Aydin “iNSaNiA” Sarkohi, another reputable figure in Dota 2.

Khezu the Flying Wyvern

Khezu is a detestable, pale Flying Wyvern character in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. This creature dwells in the dingy caves of the Frost Islands and Lava Caverns. It operates mostly on its sense of smell due to its near blindness. Khezu uses an elastic neck and tail to hold onto walls or ceilings while immobilizing its prey with electric shocks.

Physiological Characteristics

Khezu has an unsightly, rubbery skin that remains moist like that of an amphibian. It has a long elastic neck, which can extend up to twice its body length, a large wingspan, and a tail designed for holding onto things. It produces a thunder element for attacks, with its veins throbbing red when it is provoked. This enables faster and unpredicted attacks, including defensive bursts.

Combat Weaknesses and Strengths

Regarding its weaknesses, Khezu is most vulnerable to fire, followed by water and ice. It displays a high resistance to thunder. Khezu’s head and neck are its main weak points. Its head, legs, and torso are breakable, with breaking the legs causing the creature to fall. Khezu is responsible for inflicting ailments such as Thunderblight, stun, and paralysis.

Ecology and Habitats

Khezu is a cave dweller that paralyzes its prey electrically before charging at them with their extendable neck. It is known to reside in the Frost Islands and Lava Caverns.

Combat Strategies and Attacks

While Khezu moves slowly, it poses a significant danger. It is immune to flash bombs due to a lack of eyes and makes constant roars. In the game’s Rampage Quests, it serves as a “Gate Crasher,” prioritizing the destruction of gates. Its primary attacks include electric orbs, electric discharge, neck lunge, perched attacks, and enraged mode.

Combat Tips

Gameplayers can use Wirebug/Wiredash to knock it off perches, exhaust to weaken its electricity, fire weapons for efficiency, and target its head for knockdowns.

Additional Notes

In Rampage, Khezu appears as a high threat and possesses High/Master Rank behavior changes, like breaking legs causing it to topple and performing new moves. Gameplays present boss fights in Rise/Sunbreak scenarios, featuring Khezu.
