Taxonomy
The Gold Rathian is a rare subspecies of the Rathian found only at the Ancient Tower.Its coloration may be due to its very old age or an ailment during its birth.

Habitat Range
So far,it is only found at the top of the ancient Tower.

Ecological Niche
More likely, it is at the middle of the food chain since elder dragons are known to build their nests there and a small number of prey is available so it must compete for its food and survival though anything smaller than herself is easy prey.

Biological Adaptations
Her dominant trait is the gold coloration and the transferance of her weak spot to the wings and like the Silver Rathalos she is also weak to thunder weapons. Other than these, it shares traits with other Rathians

Behavior
The Gold Rathian seems to do the backflip more often than other attacks.
