Ratha

Ratha ( レウス ) is the Player Character's (Lute's) first Monstie in the game and anime.

Behavior
As a Monstie, Ratha is notably way less aggressive than a normal Rathalos as upon hatching, he immediately becomes fond of the Player Character. He also displays very deep loyalty as not only did he risked his life to defend his Rider from a Blighted Nargacuga, but also sought to reunite with the Player Character after being separated for so many years.

Background
In the game, the Player Character finds Ratha's Egg on top of a tree in a nest of other eggs. When the Player character, Cheval, and Lilia perform a pseudo Rite of Kinship, it soon hatches and immediately becomes fond of the Player Character.

Anime
In the anime, Lute finds Ratha's Egg near an Old Statue. Like in the game, Lute performs a pseudo Rite of Kinship with Lilia and Cheval to hatch Ratha. Like the game, Ratha was separated from Lute by a Blighted Nargacuga but was able to grow up and spend more time with Lute before their separation.

Appearance
Ratha is a Rathalos that notably smaller than it's wild counterpart. His most distinct feature is a large scar over his left eye from a Blighted Nargacuga that he tries to defend the Player character from.
