Rathalos

Rathalos is a medium to large-sized flying wyvern, with it's most notable features being it's crimson appearance and fire patterned wings. The Rathalos inhabits a vast quantity of areas, most commonly found in the Forest & Hills along with the Volcanic zone and the Swamp zone. In Monster Hunter 3 it can be found in the Volcanic zone, this ability to live in the strangest and harshest of climates makes the Rathalos related far and wide as the King of the Wyverns.

Rathalos along with many other monsters have certain subspecies, such as an Azure varient inhabiting the same zones as it's red cousins, but a more solitary subspecies, being the Silver Rathalos inhabit a far more secluded area, that being the ancient tower. All Rathalos's are male, with it's female counterpart being the Rathian, which shares similar features in appearance abilities and habitat.The Rathalos has a whole variety of attacks, ranging from burning the hunter with a set of three fireballs from the air, to it's incredibly deadly poison scratch, leaving the hunter both poisoned and stunned.

Rathalos also appears in Monster Hunter 3 looking slightly brighter in color and more rounded, hosting a whole new variety of attacks and abilities, such as it's new found ability to hover, and that it's fireballs can cause a burning effect. The Rathalos in both games can have its crown broken and it's wing claws and tail cut off, and when enraged it huffs orange smoke.

Throughout every Monster Hunter game, the Rathalos has always been a part of it, being one of the most memorable and significant Monsters, it has survived going from PS2 to PSP and even to the Wii when nearly all the previous Monsters were replaced.
