User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Dreadking Rathalos/@comment-5020152-20170127125514

​"Humans are usually unworthy of its attention, but it descends with fiery wrath upon intruders to its domain.​" Really, Dreadking is a prime example of how awesome Deviant in-game descriptions can be.

I haven't actually fought this one yet (big surprise), but I do appreciate his design. It's classic Rathalos, but with a darker color scheme and more vibrant wing patterns. Pretty much the one thing I don't like is how he sounds like he has a sore throat, but you could probably argue that for any Deviant. I'm also not a fan of that AoE fireball - like, why a rock? It's a GIANT ROCK. How the hell did this guy cough that up without choking to death? They could've just made it like HC Silver Rathalos's big fireball, and have it slowly descend before it blows up on impact. But nope. GIANT ROCK. Am I the only one that's bothered by this?

The Flash Bomb immunity is cool. "Oh, you thought that even though I'm bigger and meaner, I'm still just a Rathalos? EAT POISON CLAWS, NERDS."

He'll always be known in my heart as BFK Rathalos, the wyvern that sounds like it could be a meal combo at Burger King.
