Continuation of one of my previous comments, but I find the whole "elder dragon level" thing very iffy. All deviants are elder dragon level, and so are all apex monsters, as well as monsters like espinas, Berukyurosu, gore magala, etc, yet monsters like raging brachydios, Duremudira, Zenith monsters, Peerless / Extreme monsters, etc, arent considered Elder dragon level as far as Im concerend, despite the latter all being (In my opinion) more than capable of taking down anything elder dragon level.

TLDR Redhelm Arzuros is canonically stronger than Raging brachydios and Arrogant duremudira, and would win in a turf war between either of them, and tie against akantor if ever put up against him.
