Kushala Daora

Kushala Daora is a wind type Elder Dragon. Its wind breath can freeze the hunter if it is in the Snowy Mountains. It can be found in the Jungle, Snowy Mountains and the Town. A typical Kushala has silver-colored "skin" which is actually metal plates. Hunters usually fight their first Kushala in the 4* Elder Quests. Like snakes, Kushala Daora "shed" their metallic coats when it becomes too rusted.



Facts

 * Damage accumulation will be separated into Elder quests, Guild 1-star to 5-stars (aka Guild Low Rank quests), Guild 6-stars to 8 stars (aka Guild High Rank quests) and Guild G-Lvl 3 Stars. So if a hunter fights Kushala in an Elder quest, one must not expect the damage to carry into either the Guild Low or High Rank quests, and vice versa.
 * This principle applies to all Elder Dragon damage accumulation in the game.
