User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Rathalos(4th Gen)/@comment-26421638-20150719080710

Rathalos (aka Rioreriosu or King Of The Sky)... The Original Flagship Monster if the MH series...

His Design is good, but not so original... Just a red Wyvern... But I love his wing pattern and the shape of his Tail

It's a fun fight, is not easy but is not difficult at the same time, Just Keep your eyes open and you can beat him without problems... In 4 Gen Games now Is More Dangerous, imo... He flies more than in 3rd gen games and he has some new attacks which makes him more difficult than 3rd gen games... Just Learn how to evade/block his new attacks and you have nothing to worry about...

I remember the Old Rathalos in 1st and 2nd Gen Games... He was so "thin" and soo annoying... He spent too much time in middair and his charge attacks was almost impossible to avoid/block because it was too much "unexpected"

His Equipment is Good, his Weapons are good fire Element Weapons... And his Armor is not bad... Most of his skills are based in attack related skills

In conclusion: I Like this Wyvern... Maybe is not the best Flagship Monster but is not a bad Monster... I like Hunt this Guy... The Only thing that I really hate of this Monster are his Poisonous Claw attacks... High amount of damage, Inflicts Poison and Stuns you very often...
