Corrosive Hannibal

Corrosive Hannibal is a sub-species of Hannibal that first appeared in God Eater Burst.

The Corrosive Hannibal greatly resembles the standard strain of Hannibal, having the general shape of a wingless dragon with an armor-like bracer in one of its arms. However, the Corrosive subspecies differs itself from the original Hannibal in that it is "mirrored"; instead of possessing the bracer in the left arm, it has it in the right one; and more obviously in its color scheme: rather than light grey and orange, it is a dark shade of grey with red and yellow details. Aditionally, the Corrosive Hannibal shows control over dark purple flames.

The Corrosive Hannibal is first sighted by the Defense Unit in the Sunken Grid, where it quickly gets rid of two Kongou attacking them. Afterwards, it attacks Tatsumi O'Mori, quickly defeating him. As the 2nd Unit is about to retreat, however, the Protagonist arrives and blocks its next attack, causing a strange resonance in which it is revealed that the Corrosive Hannibal is actually Lindow Amamiya's Aragami form. The Hannibal leaves quickly after the resonance is over.

After that revelation, the Protagonist goes to fight the Corrosive Hannibal alone, taking Lindow's God Arc with them to kill Lindow. However, after defeating the Hannibal, the Protagonist is unable to kill him, and instead enters a strange Resonance with Lindow's mind, where it manages to strengthen his consciousness in order to allow him fight a final battle against the Aragami.

The Hannibal is eventually defeated when Ren sacrifices himself after revealing he's Lindow's God Arc. This allows Lindow to retake control of himself, albeit with his right arm permanently morphed into a monstrous state.

The Corrosive Hannibal sightings continued after these events; however, their relation to the original one is unknown.

''A dark Hannibal, which appeared as a post manifestation of the Oracle cell invasion of Corporal Amamiya. Several of the same species have been sighted near the Far East Branch; however, the relationship with the individual mentioned is still under investigation. This info is restricted to the Far East Branch.''

Blade Attacking Tips: Gun Attacking Tips: Status Resistances: Enraged Effects: Unbounding Tips: Other Useful Tips: Other Useful Tips:
 * Pierce/Short Blades:  Aim your melee attacks on the head, left arm and the intact scale. Continuously attacking the left arm will eventually inflict Down on Corrosive Hannibal.
 * Sunder/Long Blades: Best weapon to use for disabling Corrosive Hannibal. Focus your attacks on the hind legs to inflict it into a Downed state. Keep attacking this part even while Corrosive Hannibal is downed, doing so will ensure it being downed again and making it unable to move until it dies. Alternative targets are the head, left arm and the intact scale.
 * Crush/Buster Blades: Great for unbounding all of Corrosive Hannibal's body parts. Your primary targets should be the head, wrist and left arm. Continuously attacking the left arm will eventually inflict Down on Corrosive Hannibal.
 * Elemental:  Freeze, spark and divine elemental blades are effective on all of Corrosive Hannibal's body parts.
 * Unbounding the head and wrist will make all melee and bullet attacks on them stronger while unbounding the scale will make it harden against all crush bullets and melee type attacks and will also allow Corrosive Hannibal to use its Firestorm attack.
 * Even if you're not using the best weapon for targeting the hind legs, attacking this part will easily send Corrosive Hannibal into a Downed state as compared to the right arm.
 * Pierce/Assault and Sniper Gun:  Aim your bullets on the scale and head to inflict above average/critical damage on Corrosive Hannibal. Unbounding the scale will make it slightly weaker against shot/laser bullets but will give Corrosive Hannibal access to his Firestorm attack. Shooting Corrosive Hannibal's own Blood Rage Aragami bullet on said parts is also effective.
 * Crush/Blast Gun: The head, wrist and intact scale are your primary targets when using crush type bullets (including Corrosive Hannibal's own Aragami bullets).
 * Elemental: You can use freeze, spark and/or divine elemental bullets on Corrosive Hannibal to augment your damage further.
 * Rage Indicator: Dark flame is mixed with its breathing.
 * Corrosive Hannibal's attack, speed and aggressiveness will noticeably increase.
 * Head: All melee and bullet attacks are effective in unbounding this part. But it's difficult to aim to the head without practice unless Corrosive Hannibal is in a downed state.
 * Wrist: Buster blades with high melee crush attributes can easily unbound this part.
 * Scale:  All melee and bullet attacks are effective in unbounding this part.
 * Weak Points: You can inflict Down on a Corrosive Hannibal by continuously attacking the following parts:
 * Hind Legs using melee Long Blade attacks. Other blade types and bullets work but are not as effective when compared to Long Blades.
 * Right Arm using any blade type with high physical attributes.
 * Don't unbound the scale if you don't want Corrosive Hannibal to have access to his Firestorm attack.
 * Alternatively, you can break the scale to give yourself breathing room to heal whenever it uses the Firestorm attack. Take a Tower Shield with you if you plan on taking this route, however, as in comparison to the regular Hannibal, the Corrosive Hannibal's version deals significant damage.
 * It's much easier to inflict down on Hannibal by targeting the hind legs as compared to the right arm.
 * They usually stagger when their head and unbound wrist are hit by its weakness.
 * Just like other large Aragami, Corrosive Hannibal will run away when they are low on health.
 * There is a chance to devour this Aragami during or after it uses its double fire breath attack, as well as during the startup (risky) and recoil of its Firestorm attack.
 * Corrosive Hannibal's visual and hearing are average when compared to those of other Aragami.
