But it's so fragile!!!!!!

I'm sorry but I really doubt that an Oroshi Kirin will be able to outstand a Gravios Heat Ray, I just don't see it happening.

Imrrally doubt an Oroshi Kirin would be smart enough to dodge a Gravios sweep beam which could injure Kirin a lot.

I can understand on the Diablos part but one slip up and the Kirin is pretty much screwed.

Oroshi Kirin can't fly,has no attacks that can reach high in the air, allowing Rathalos to spam fireballs and occasionally Melee attack it which could kill it almost instantly if it didn't take the time to dodge.

Kirin was only classified an elder dragon because it couldn't fit any other category like Yamatsukami(although Yammy is worthy of being an elder dragon while Kirin isn't).

If it truly did destroy human settlements before then Wow!!!! There settlements must have been made of friggin paper or something.

I don't hate Kirin but I just find it bizarre how he can take on such massive powerful Wyverns.

If a Rajang can take on a Kushala Daora then I'm sure a Gravios can take on a Kirin

Although now that I think about it, Oroshi Kirin does have a decent chance but any slip ups can easily end up with rotted Kirin Cheese.

I guess if an Iodrome can take on a Zinogre and Cephadrome take on a Diablos with a few plus points then I guess a Kirin can pose a threat to something as big as a Deviljho.

By the way I really wonder if Rajang is weak to ice wouldn't he try to avoid Oroshi Kirin's? Just saying.
