A Rare Species (Japanese: 希少種 Kishōshu) is an alternate form of a monster that is much rarer than a Subspecies. These monsters usually feature an alternate color palette and often boast different anatomical features and abilities from the common species and subspecies. Rare Species are much stronger than both common species and subspecies and usually are fought in higher ranks. Rare Species are also known to usually appear in secluded locations such as the Tower Summit and Forlorn Arena (MHRS), but sometimes they can be found in general locations as well. Some of the Rare Species are Elder Dragon-Level Monsters threat due to thier ability and being able to take on Elder Dragons.
