Lao-Shan Lung

 * Lao-Shan Lung gets the title, ‘’’Mountain Dragon’’’, due to its many spikes and ridges on its back.
 * Lao-Shan Lung are up to 6960cm long.
 * By simply walking, Lao-Shan Lung can cause earthquakes and occasionally landslides that can put settlements in danger.
 * This gives it the nickname, the ‘’’Walking Disaster’’’.
 * Lao-Shan Lung have been around since ancient times, however, a lot is still unknown about them. Due to there being very few Lao-Shan Lung left, it is hard to find and track a single one down.
 * Even the Hunter’s Guild and Elder Dragon Observation Team have trouble tracking them down.
 * It is believed that Lao-Shan Lung actively roam around their territory due to a past incident. When an ore refinery was built in the side of a mountain, a Lao-Shan Lung caused an earthquake and destroyed the mountain housing the refinery with its bulk. When a large obstacle is in front of Lao-Shan Lung, it will destroy it in anyway possible though it sometimes takes time.
 * Lao-Shan Lung will also try to destroy fortresses and large buildings in their way.
 * It primarily walks on all fours, but can actually stand and walk on its hindlegs for a short period of time. Lao-Shan Lung will use its tail to help support it as it stands up.
 * A single scale of a Lao-Shan Lung is comparable to a Flying Wyvern’s shell.
 * The shell of Lao-Shan Lung is formed overtime through adhering various ores, minerals, volcanic ash, and other materials, including air. This gives Lao-Shan Lung its red appearance.
 * Lao-Shan Lung have been seen in a few different colors, such as green and brown.
 * Its shell contains the Dragon Element, making it more destructive in power when crafted into a weapon.
 * To help slow down any potential Lao-Shan Lung from reaching towns, special fortresses have been built to slow them down. When a Lao-Shan Lung is approaching, a whole town could be evacuated to safety while some hunters try to repel the beast.
 * Even trying to repel Lao-Shan Lung can be difficult for hunters. A single swipe of a Lao-Shan Lung’s tail can knockout a hunter, but a stomp can push hunters back from the wind pressure.
 * When Lao-Shan Lung is on the move, it is believed to be running away from something. Secretly, the Hunter’s Guild believe that Lao-Shan Lung are running away from Fatalis.
 * There is also belief that Lao-Shan Lung could be running away from other giant monsters.
 * Lao-Shan Lung have been seen wandering around in places like the Volcano and Old Jungle.
 * A few Lao-Shan Lung have even been seen frozen in the Polar Sea.
 * A skull of Lao-Shan Lung was discovered inside a mining refinery at Jumbo Village.
 * Originally, Lao-Shan Lung was considered the largest known monster, but it has been dwarfed by other larger monsters like Jhen Mohran.
 * The claw of a Lao-Shan Lung is half the length of a human.

Ashen Lao-Shan Lung

 * Ashen Lao-Shan Lung is the same species as Lao-Shan Lung. It is actually a Lao-Shan Lung that has been living in volcanic environments.
 * Depending on the environment, a Lao-Shan Lung’s look can vary from place to place.
 * Unlike Lao-Shan Lung, it is given the title, ‘’’Rock Mountain Dragon”, from its harsher look.
 * It has been reported that weapons belonging to the Ancient Civilization can be found on Ashen Lao-Shan Lung’s body.
 * This suggest that these Lao-Shan Lung have been around for a long time.
