Ahhh the Shagaru Magala and its deadly virus. MHX confirms they won't feature your virus in quests, so you most likely won't return....bummer.

This beast is one of my favorites among the Elder Dragons. Gore Magala causes all kinds of chaos with the deadly Frenzy Virus that infects monsters, both large and small. Suddenly, you find out that this monster was technically an infant !!! Once a Magala manages to reach its molting stage it transforms into this shimmering and beautiful creature of legend. I love Shagaru's design and color due to it reminding me of the infamous King Ghidorah. All that glitters is not gold however, as the virus it carries becomes even more powerful and destructive !!! Shagaru Magala is a great addition to the Elder Dragon family.
