Muscles is an anteka and Slingshot's pet. He has gold and brown fur and yellow eyes.
While in the Monster Hunter universe, the team comes across a fighting arena created by hunters. They infiltrate the arena by putting their own rescued beasts into the fights. They all only pretend to fight each other to give the others time to rescue the trapped beasts. Singshot rescues Muscles and he's grateful.
Musles is shown to be calm, docile, and gentle but when things get heated, he can be just as mean and aggressive as his larger fellow animals. Muscles is not only strong physically, but he has a great inner strength, constantly pushing himself to do better. He's self-confident and very tenacious. He's not afraid of hard challenges.
He is a very fast charger and uses his antlers as defense.
Trivia:
Muscles gets his name from his super strength.
He was mistaken for a moose by Slingshot.
