Gold Rathian

The Gold Rathian are the strongest subspecies of the Rathian species and female counterpart of the Silver Rathalos. Golden Rathian has one of the most sought out parts of all monsters. Its body is covered in a hard golden shell, making it hard to attack without the weapon bouncing off it.

Gold Rathian are physically different from the other Rathian in that they have a shiny gold color to their scales and shells. They also take damage differently than the others. Instead of their weak spot being their head, their weak spot are their wings. The only execption to this is when using a Hammer or Hunting Horn, the impact damage is still more effective on the head. The Gold Rathian are weakest to thunder elemented weapons. Like the other Rathian, the Gold Rathian can poison you and damage you with fire. Another to be aware of is when you cut its tail off and it does the backflip, it can still poison you, however this attack also becomes easier to avoid as you can simply roll towards the Gold Rathian and it will most likely miss you. To actually unlock the Gold Rathian mission you need simply slay 100 wyverns. This is achieved most easily by the killing of Remobra, incredibly weak wyverns.
