Rusted Kushala Daora

Rusted Kushala Daora is an Elder Dragon and a Variant of Kushala Daora introduced in Monster Hunter 2.

Physiology

Rusted Kushala Daora is an Elder Dragon whose characteristic metallic skin is, as its name implies, wholly rusted.

Behavior and Abilities

Rusted Kushala Daora has a much more aggressive behavior than that of it's normal counterpart. It tends to use more physical attacks such as biting and charges to attack hunters, and stay on the ground more often. Its roar and screeches are slightly different from Kushala Daora's.

Rusted Kushala Daora uses his aerial turnaround bite much more often normal Kushala Daora, and can immediately attack with a charge or a wind blast after jumping back (whereas a non-rusted Kushala Daora always taunts first).

Habitat

Rusted Kushala Daora can be found in the Polar Field. Additionally, it tends to attack cities and military bases on its way leading to hunts in the Town/Battlequarters and the Interceptor's Base.
