This Flying Wyvern earns its title of “Queen of the Land” by using
its powerful legs to hunt primarily on the ground. Any challenges
to her reign will be swiftly put down by the poison-laden tail.

Protective poison spikes protrude from this monster’s body.
While its chin spike might look equally threatening, it is
actually used to deliver chewed food while nursing juveniles.

Before becoming endangered, records show that Rathian would raise
young with a mate. Even now, they mercilessly assail any threat
to their eggs, suggesting they retain some vestige of this habit.

The vibrant pink scales of this Rathian subspecies belie a terrible
ferocity. It deftly utilizes its toxic tail to corner prey, then
closes in for the kill.

The tail differs in composition from that of a regular Rathian’s
and is noticeably harder. Some hypothesize that this adaptation
emerged to help it survive ferocious encounters with its enemies.

This subspecies uses its poisonous tail in a variety of ways with
lethal effect. For instance, it can swing its tail during an aerial
barrel roll to clear all threats in the vicinity.

Simply mentioning Flying Wyverns brings this fire-breathing monster
to mind. Aptly known as the “King of the Skies,” it spends little
time on land, instead using its powerful wings to hunt from above.

Most Flying Wyverns struggle with long-duration flight, but thanks
to its powerful wings, the Rathalos can fly continuously for days
and still move with enough precision to capture birds in flight.

While Rathian have poison-secreting organs in their tails, males
of the species possess poisonous claws. This is attributed to the
Rathalos’ preference for airborne attacks.

Ten years ago, this Skyscale Rathalos was born from an egg
quartz that Amara discovered in Blightstone Woods. One of a pair
of twins, it serves as the <LSNR {prince’s} {princess’s}> Monstie.

Although feared to bring disaster because of a legend about twin
Rathalos with similar blue scales 200 years prior, it bonded with
the <LSNR {prince} {princess}>, making <LSNR {him} {her}> Azuria’s lone Rathalos Rider.

Beyond the strong wings and aerial skill inherent to all Rathalos,
this monster also uses keen senses to alert the <LSNR {prince} {princess}> to sudden
