Just like Rathalos being the signature monster for the series, Fatalis is the signature Elder Dragon. 3rd gen didn't have it because they were trying some sort of fresh start or something (plus, it had Dire). And Cross has even less of an excuse, because of the Fatalis Greatsword in Pokke village that now has little point.
