Raviente vs Dalamadur. I've always believed Dala would win. It has spikes '''EVERYWHERE ON IT'S BODY! '''Coiling around Dala would damage Ravi (Lavi) and it would risk serious injury. Ravi has a tough shell, but if Dala can claw through mountains, then tearing a shell shouldn't take long. Other factors include:

- Bigger Jaws.

- Gigantic murder claws. It will keep swiping at Ravi, adding additional damage

- Blue flames. In my book, Blue flames > Orange flames

- Deadly tail. Once again, a bigger arsenal will give Dala an advantage.

- Tough Hide. Its said that it's hide is comparable to steel, so that says a lot.

- Metors. They'll help.

Dala is '''QUICK. '''If you've seen Dala, he can move to the other side of the map in seconds. His movements are also much quicker and precise. Ravi can get poisoned, which means it's body isn't too powerful. So far in our knowledge, Dala is immune to status attacks. This doesn't mean much, but I wanted to point this out. Ravi is larger I think, but this just gives Dala a bigger target. Both have lots of health so this means this fight will take a while. Dala's large arsenal gives it an advantage. Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Nope stop it and NO!!!!!!

Dalamadur would get shrek't so snarfing hard in a fight with Raviente

Spikes?.... cause serious damage? depends where they hit because lets face it, Raviente can take a billion sword slashes across the underbelly so spikes would have to be puncting somewhere vital.

.... Bigger jaws? They seem somewhat around the same in terms of size(Raviente's jaws are thicker though)

Those "Gigantic Murder Claws" won't do snarf, they are for climbing the mountain, not for killing

Blue Flames?.... fair point

Dalamadur's tail won't do ANYTHING!!!!!

What makes you think Raviente's hide is weak?

Raviente has meteors aswell.

Did you even watch that ecology video? He shrek't through an entire island in seconds killing everything in it's path!!! You can pretty much say they are somewhat equal in terms of speed

Sorry but I don't remember Dalamadur having any poison attacks(and for the record, Raviente is immune to paralysis)

Immune to all status effects? So is Raviente(except poison)

Raviente is bulkier and more muscular while Dalamadur is longer but thinner

This fight truly depends on the terrain they fight in

On a Mountain Peak, Dalamadur as Raviente's weight will be it's disadvantage at that altitude

Plain Fields? Raviente.... simple as that (Dalamadur is built for scaling mountain not across a field/forest and whatever like Raviente is). Dude Every single Monster in monster hunter can take a thousand hits and be fine. Look at great Jaggi. Your first fight against him you probably spen about 10 minutes not stop hitting him with a giant sword, and he's one of the easiest bosses.

Also Yes indeed Ravis hide is weak. If you have EVER looked at the game it takes green sharpness to not bounce. While with Dala it takes about white sharpness to not bounce on the softer parts.

Dalamadur also completely Rekted a landscape as well silly. havent you ever played mh4 and gone to the heavens mount? Also while fighting him he literally destroys half the map for no reason.

Ravi is more bulky but Dala defently has way better defense. Also Dalamadur does have some status effects, paralysis for your information, but I doubt its really going to do anything unless he licks Ravi to death.

On a Field Dala could still easily win. He digs through freaking mountains. Like a flat field of dirt is going to stop him from digging and attacking from below. Also either way Im not sure how  thats going to effect him. He can slither too, and if not he has arms, and if worse case cenario Ravi slithers too far away he can just shoot a giant beam of fire, also meteors.

Dalamadurs tail is strong, it does quite a bit of damage, but at that size I kinda get your point, but he could always bop him on the head you know.

Dalamadurs claws useless?? He can cut a mountain in half with them!!! Also ingame His clawswipe does massive damage, so that kinda shows you proof that they can defently deal some damage.

Lastly, Jaw size... If you have played mh4, Im pretty sure anyone can agree his head is gigantic. One of his most powerful biting attacks includes opening his mouth at an almost 180 Degree angle thats almost impossible to dodge, and is basically a death wish come true. If you would have EVER looked at a Raviente video, you would know that a Dalamadur is like a child version of Raviente.

Raviente has so much health, it requires up to 16 hunters together to take it down. It can release paralyzing shocks and explosive powder along its entire body, meaning Dalamadur will have a bad time if it even dares to come near. Ravientes jaw is way bigger and when it was hungry it ate an ENTIRE ISLAND just by itself. Not to mention that the stage that comes after that, is implied to be simply happening every time it goes hungry for a longer period. Also it can survive and move in Lava, without any additional protection or "trick" like Agnaktor and Lavasioth. It even shaped the entire cave you fight Berserk Raviente in and from the looks of it, it is even responsible for the volcanic activity that happens in that fight. Dalamadur may be able to shape mountains, but Raviente can dig through solid ground like it is nothing, not being stopped in its tracks. Also note that Dalamadur can't cut through mountains like that and even when it destroys parts of the mountain, it still takes some effort for it, unlike Raviente.

Raviente is in every aspect way superior to Dalamadur. Sorry kid, but that Snake isn't going to stand a chance against Raviente. The main problem with your arguement is that first of all Raviante was the very first snake monster, and the largest monster at its time in the series. Second of all You realize frontier is more of an online game, plus that one is japanese exclusive, while mh4u isnt, meaning it would be dumb to have to have 16 players fight dalamadur since mh inst that popular outside of japan. The only reason it takes 16 players and so many days is well becuase its frontier, its japanese exclusive, and really he was added into mh quite early, meaning it would be akward to have only 4 players fight a snake while it took 50 minutes just to repel a lao shan lung who wasnt even fighting back. Your arguement is invalid.

I just want to let you know that Dalamadur is digging through rock and metal. Ingame Raviente is just digging through dirt and underground water systems. Also Dalamadur doesnt take effort to break rock you dumb dumb. Dalamadur destroys half a mountain in only a few seconds, also Thats berserk Raviente, not normal raviente. Your breaking the rules by using stronger subspecies you dirty cheater.

Again Dalamadurs skin is like steel, even if he did get close enough to ravientes explosions Raviente would have already been torn to shreds by dalamadurs spikes. thats like saying a suicide bomber vs an axe thrower, its kinda unfair. Also Im assuming you have never played mh4. Dalamadurs jaws are HUUUUUUGGGE!!! So huge that his bite literally takes up most of the map.

No raviente didnt eat an entire island. He only ate a couple herds of aptonoth and a pack of velociprey, as well as a few accidental trees. Either way they are the same size and both need to eat. thats like exagerating that a fat guy can eat more than another fat guy. They are both fat and love to eat. your Arguement is once again invalid.

Also if your telling me a soft belly Snake like raviente (Not beserk, I swear if you say beserk one more time Im going to shove a snake into a cheese grater and call it a hat) can survive lava Im pretty sure a badass like Dalamadur could too.

Also Dalamadur has arms. thats like saying who would win. A fat guy with no legs and arms or a tall guy with arms and swords on his back.

Also majority of your arguement is completely false in this battle, considering we said Raviente vs Dalamadur, not Berserk raviente vs weak dalamadur.

Another thing I would like to point out is that Dalamadur doesnt have to get close in any way to raviente. Not only does he have meteors but a gaint ass Blue flame thrower of death in his mouth. beat that.
