Gore Magala are monsters of an unknown type introduced in Monster Hunter 4.
Physiology
Gore Magala is a very unique wyvern, sharing traits and similarities to that of the Elder Dragons, possessing six limbs, including the clawed wings on its back. Though, its overall appearance and stance resembles a quadrupedal wyvern like the Nargacuga. Its body is covered in dark exoskeleton plates, with notable features including the hidden feelers that are folded alongside its face, the lack of visible eyes and fanged jaws that are actually parts of its external armor plates. The other unique part is its wings, which are covered in jet-black fur that resemble a tattered and ragged cape. The claws on its wings are extremely prehensile, and even seem to possess opposable thumbs. They are used for grabbing, help at running and maintaining stability. When not engaged in combat, Gore Magala tends to cloak its body with its wings by latching them onto its back.
Abilities
The pollen-like scales of Gore Magala are used to understand their environment and leave behind a trail that Gore Magala uses to see both predators and prey by heat. As Gore Magala's senses increase and become better from these scales, its color under its wings will slowly change and get brighter. When its sense are at their highest peak, two feelers will poke out from its head and it will release large amounts of scales into the air. The hairs will darken the sky as if an eclipse was in the area and it will begin to walk on all six. This state is known as the Frenzy State.
Other Non-Subspecies Forms

Chaotic Gore Magala is a rare special Gore Magala individual that has failed to molt properly into a Shagaru Magala and has only molted half way on one side of its body. It also has a different music theme which has parts of Gore Magala's and Shagaru Magala's respective theme music as well as the Apex theme.
This variant of Gore Magala first appeared in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate with a separate Icon, yet in game it does not have a separate name from an ordinary Gore Magala.

Notes
General Notes
- Gore Magala is the first flagship monster to be capable of infecting other monsters.
- It is also the first flagship monster to lack eyes.
- It is also the first "juvenile" flagship monster.
- Gore Magala has some common features of an Elder Dragon. In particular, having six limbs, including the wings on its back. It also has some features in common with the quadrupedal flying wyverns, like the Nargacuga, some of its scales, notably the ones on its wings, have turned into a fur-like substance.
- The purple colored patch where its eyes should be resemble the heat-detecting patches on a Gigginox.
- Gore Magala's Frenzy Virus can spread to hunters (either directly or via the attacks of monsters that have succumbed to infection), which cancels natural recovery and severely reduces defense as well as causing the hunter to lose health if standing in a virus pool after a short incubation time. However, if the hunter inflicts a certain amount of damage on the monster who infected them (Or any other monster.) before the incubation time is completed, the virus will be purged and the hunter will receive a large bonus to their affinity and be immune to the virus for a limited time.
- Frenzy Virus causes lowered resistance and abnormalities in the nervous system to any organisms that inhale Gore Magala's scales or hairs.
- When in Frenzy Virus mode, the surrounding area becomes much darker.
- Gore Magala's roar requires HG Earplugs to block.
- Gore Magala bears some resemblance to the Xenomorphs of the famous "Aliens" franchise.
- Gore Magala's roar has an eerie resemblance to the wailing and screaming of people.
- Over time its perceptive ability will increase. This is indicated by the coloring on its wings changing from blue to purple.
- Unlike Zinogre, you cannot stop or delay its change into Frenzy Virus mode, it can only be knocked out of Frenzy Virus mode.
- Gore Magala can be knocked out of its Frenzy Virus mode similar to a fully charged Zinogre. It will also drop a shiny. Gore Magala's feelers will not glow as brightly as normal if it is close to being knocked out of Frenzy Virus mode as the glow starts to fade.
- When exhausted, Gore Magala will start drooling a black fluid.
- Gore Magala will also fail to shoot balls of the Frenzy Virus. However, it can still damage you if you get too close to its mouth.
- When weak, Gore Magala will sleep in area 9 in the Ancestral Steppe.
- Gore Magala's wings act like a large cape when it's not enraged.
- Gore Magala's English name was first revealed by Yuri of Capcom-Unity in the January 27, 2014 episode of Monster Hunter Mondays, as the name is used on multiple official Japanese merchandise even before the announcement of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. [1]
- This is a similar case with Zinogre during Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
- Gore Magala was the first fourth generation monster to have its localized English name revealed.
- According to one of the Uniqlo Monster Hunter 10th Anniversary T-Shirts, the size of the foot of a Gore Magala is 135 centimeters, while its additional limbs are 241 centimeters.
- A Gore Magala appears in the comic crossover Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Unite, first appearing in issue #10 of the comic Sonic Boom.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
- In the cinematic intro Gore Magala is seen attacking and killing a Tigrex.
- Gore Magala will feed on Gargwa and Slagtoth to regain its stamina.
- Gore Magala's face, feelers (Frenzy Virus mode only), wings and wingarms can be broken, and its tail can be severed and carved.
- It can spread the Frenzy Virus around its legs, infecting hunters who come in contact with its hairs and scales but not in Frenzy Virus mode.
- When in Frenzy Virus mode, its "Shadow shot" attack becomes a AOE attack.
- When facing a higher or lower platform, its "wingarms" will cling onto the platform.
- Although its adult form is considered an Elder Dragon because it can cause tremendous damage to the ecosystem, Gore Magala is classified as a ???.
- Whenever its virus infects another monster, certain changes happen to the infected monster:
- The said monster after a set amount of time, will pass out and become infected.
- The infected monster will gain a speed boost, attack boost and the Frenzy Virus blight.
- The infected monster's vocal pitch will change, as well as their blood from red (or green for certain monsters) to purple.
- When exhausted, the infected monster will drool black fluid like Gore Magala but the fatigue time is greatly shortened when infected.
