Teostra

Teostra is a male Elder Dragon introduced in Monster Hunter 2.



Physiology
Teostra's control over the Fire Element is speculated to come from his two curved horns. The relationship between the two is unclear, but a hunter can permanently disable the monster's ability to produce a fire aura if he/she can manage to destroy them. As part of a sexually dimorphic species, Teostra is the male counterpart to the Lunastra, though the two are rarely seen together.

Abilities
Teostra is capable of producing a dangerous fire aura that deals constant damage over time to hunters standing nearby.

Unlike Rathalos, Rathian, Gravios or any other fire wyvern, Teostra emits a life flame, resembling a flamethrower-like attack.

Behavior
Teostra are a very aggressive monster. It will show dominance to anything that it encounters. Compared to Lunastra, who give warnings to get out of its territory, Teostra will ruthlessly attack intruders until they are dead.

Habitat
This monster is most often found in hot areas such as the Desert and the Volcano, but have been known to venture into the Swamp also, they are susceptible to be appearing in the Town.

Hard Core (HC) Teostra


In MHFO Season 9.0, Hard Core Teostra is introduced. His flamethrower attack has a much longer range, even when not enraged. He might cover random parts of the area he's in with explosive powder and make them explode with a snap of its teeth at any time. He will also let out a high-grade roar right after the detonations. Explosions are added to his claw attacks. He can also jump erratically all over the place, causing fire bursts with his tail every time he lands. When he roars, enters rage mode, or activates his fire aura, he'll be surrounded by a flaming tornado. He will enter air mode much more often. While airborne, he can provoke explosions with his tail attacks or breath fire. Flash Bombing Teostra will cause explosions around him instantly.
