Gold Rathian

The Gold Rathian are the strongest subspecies of the Rathian species and female counterpart of the Silver Rathalos. Golden Rathian has one of the most sought out parts of all monsters. Its body is covered in a hard golden shell, making it hard to attack without the weapon bouncing off it.

Gold Rathian are physically different from the other Rathian in that they have a shiny gold color to their scales and shells. They also take damage differently than the others. Instead of their weak spot being their head, their weak spot is their wings. The only exception to this is when using a Hammer or Hunting Horn, the impact damage is still more effective on the head. The Gold Rathian are weakest to thunder elemental weapons. Like the other Rathian, the Gold Rathian can poison you and damage you with fire.

Unlocking it

 * In MHF2 she, along with Silver Rathalos, can only be unlocked by killing 100 Flying Wyverns (Bird Wyverns and Piscine do not count but the small and easily killed Remobras do), as well as 10 Rathalos and 10 Rathian. In MHFU however, as well as 100 Flying Wyverns, you must kill 30 Rathalos and 30 Rathian.
 * In MHFU, players can also unlock the Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos by clearing Nekoht's 8* Quests.

Changes in MHFU

 * Regular Earplugs do not work any more; in MHFU you need High Grade Earplug to block her scream.
 * She is now able to link her backflip attack from a charge or from shooting fireballs.
 * If she is knocked off her feet, she does a surprise backflip while getting up.
