Just when I thought Zinogre had the best Rock theme out of any monster, Astalos comes in and demolishes the competition!

But seriously, he is a unique wyvern for sure, concept and design wise, and I felt bad for the Rathalos that got his tail handed to him by the Astalos in the intro cutscene for the game, but even more so for the Velocidrome that got brutally murdered by the Astalos in the ecology cutscene!

R.I.P. Velocidrome,

Your life was just too short!
