The Maiden and the Pink Rathian

In an old poem, it was described that a lost maiden was protected by a Pink Rathian. Pink Rathian are known for being highly aggressive in nature and quite relentless, but this particular one was actually gentle with the maiden.The Pink Rathian protected the maiden like she was her own offspring, but not much else is known about this old poem. Even though most believe that the poem is made up, some Pink Rathian owners say otherwise. A few wealthy people in the world, including some hunters, have Pink Rathian as pets and say that they are quite calm in captivity, even though wild individuals are highly aggressive. This suggests that Pink Rathian can be gentle in some circumstances.
