Gore Magala

Goa Magara Discussion

A monster first introduced in Monster Hunter 4. Currently, very little is known about it.



In the new TGS trailer, it is shown that Goa Magara uses a new Dark element/status ailment called the Dragon virus. Details of this are unclear, but it seems to waft from Goa Magara's wings. It has two horns that erect when enraged, exposing a glowing purple patch of skin underneath. Since Goa Magara inhabits dark areas, this could be an adaption for living in low-light areas.
