Khezu is a pale, blind wyvern from Capcom's Monster Hunter series, known for hunting by sound and smell and for unleashing a piercing cry before it attacks with electricity. Players first met the creature in the early Monster Hunter games, and its scream became instantly recognisable to fans who had learned to dread hearing it in dark caves. Clips of the cry later circulated among Monster Hunter communities and meme editors, who reuse it as a jumpscare scream for horror edits, boss reveals and reaction videos, keeping it familiar long after its original hunts.
