Risen Kushala Daora is an Elder Dragon and a Risen variant of Kushala Daora first introduced in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
Physiology[]
Risen Kushala Daora's appearance is noticeably different from a standard Kushala Daora, with most of its body darkened with certain parts (their heads, wings, and torsos) retaining their metallic grey coloring. Its body is covered in wounds resembling burns, which have a bright orange glow upon entering its Risen state.
Behavior and Abilities[]
This version of Kushala Daora has overcome being afflicted by the Qurio and has become more powerful as a result. In addition to its physical abilities and wind attacks being dramatically enhanced, it gains more wind based attacks including being able to fire blasts of wind by swiping its claws, creating giant explosions using wind, and firing beams that cause the ground to erupt into geysers of wind. When it enters its Risen state, its wind notably takes on a golden tint as it becomes even more powerful, in addition to generating an even stronger wind aura tinged with flames.
