It consists of a vast landscape like that of the ocean floor, the most notorious feature is the many species of coral, as its name implies. This area is comprised of steep cliffs that form a highland, hunters will traverse the colorful highlands and ominous lower levels to achieve their objectives.
Environments
The coral highlands can be divided into the lower section, featuring dark paths among gigantic cliffs, and the highlands, featuring more open areas atop the cliffs.
Lower Section
This section is comprised of many branching paths, Shamos and Tzitzi-Ya-Ku roam here, keeping themselves to the shadows of the cliffs, these two species commonly clash for prey such as Kelbi, Odogaron sometimes pass through here when carrion is not enough, intending to reach the higher grounds.
Highlands
Featuring open areas, the highlands are the perfect place for monsters such as Paolumu, Legiana and Pink Rathian, it is here that Odogaron can rarely be found clashing with other large monsters, groups of Raphinos also call this section their home and the rare Kirin can appear here.
