Interesting Facts About Amatsu

 * Family: Amatsu


 * Amatsu is said to be an Elder Dragon of Great Evil and said to be The God of the Heavens.
 * Before it was discovered by the Guild, it was a well-known presences throughout Yukumo's Regions history and a lot of storms that have caused destruction in Yukumo was due to Amatsu. Some of this destruction was floods, landslides, and a few others. Whole villages and areas are forced to leave the area, when it appears from this and even monsters are forced to move in some other areas when it appears.
 * It flies by catching wind from the storms and all those fins on its body help it fly catch wind and air, allowing it to fly. To help it swim through the air with ease, its backbone is much like that of Leviathans. From wind constantly flowing from its fins, it produces that barrier of wind that it can change at will and use in many ways.
 * Unlike other Elder Dragons, even if certain parts are broken on its body it doesn't lose control of the weather and even being poisoned doesn't decrease its power.
 * Its title, Storm Dragon, was given to it from it being able to freely make storms.
 * A special jade organ allows it to make storms and its storm control supposedly surpasses Kushala Daora's storms.
 * They are highly territorial and will attack anything that enters their territory. While claiming territories, they will clear out all other monsters in the area along with Airships.
 * It has an organ that stores large amounts of water, allowing it to breath its powerful beams.
 * It goes into its Final Rage Mode, when it feels it’s about to die. The storm becomes larger and more violent due to this as well.
 * The small claws that Amatsu has suggest that its ancestors had legs and claws at a time.
 * Its tail helps it swim in the storms and the sky.
 * On the snout of Amatsu is a pyrolite crystal for hydrogen ignition. Combined with concentrated hydrogen vapor, at first glance, the movement makes it look like water will come out, and then... it sneezes. Amatsu spits out a large volume of hydrogen, ignition with the pyrolite, and large amounts of water.
