A Deviant of Astalos, Blue Thunder Lord Astalos is a special Astalos individual that's body has further developed to produce more powerful electricity.

Habitat Range
Blue Thunder Lord Astalos have been witnessed in the Verdant Hills and the Ancestral Steppe.

Ecological Niche
Astalos are high up in the food chain. They are known to be predators and have been found to feed on Herbivore like Mosswine and Aptonoth. Astalos have also been observed eating Neopteron like Vespoid and lesser predators like Velocidrome. Despite being top predators, Astalos have to compete with other large predatory monsters like Rathalos, Najarala, Seregios, and Seltas Queen. It also has to compete with rare, powerful monsters like Rajang, Deviljho, and Elder Dragons.

Biological Adaptions
Blue Thunder Lord Astalos have many of the same adaptions as Astalos, however, there is a few differences between them. Unlike normal Astalos, Blue Thunder Lord Astalos are constantly fully charged with electricity, giving them a bright green appearance. Though they are mostly green in color while fully charged, some of their scales are noticeably blue in color. These blue scales is due to these individuals having a charged state beyond normal counterparts. Blue Thunder Lord Astalos get their secondary name, Blue Thunder Lord, due to their blue-white glow when they are truly fully charged, which has been seen by few people. This fully charged state allows for these individuals to use stronger and more potent electricity rarely seen by most other common monsters, excluding Elder Dragons. With this new found power, Blue Thunder Lord Astalos are able to perform more powerful versions of basic Astalos attacks, such as the infamous lightning blade, along with some newer abilities. Blue Thunder Lord Astalos have been witnessed to be able to produce an electrical sphere that actually pulls in prey towards them. They've also been seen to be able to produce deadly electrical explosions from their tail.

Behavior
Blue Thunder Lord Astalos are much more aggressive, compared to normal Astalos. They are always attacking a foe, even if that foe is out of their sight. Due to this, hunters are required to have a special permit in order to hunt a Blue Thunder Lord Astalos.
