With its powerfull wings, fireballs and blasts and its toxic talons it can be quite a challenge taking him down.
it was introduced in the first monster hunter, were it was known as the flagship (wich is known as the main monster). wich is also known as the big troublemaker.
in the next generation i gained some new attacks and a little update in its appearance.
it has shown up in every monster hunter game so far and will probably continue to do so.
In monster hunter G it got a new sub-species called the azure rathalos.
it has blue scales and green wings instead of the red scales and white wings.
even though it has no new attacks, it still has stronger scales and fire. so its still a big threath.
then you also in mh G, the silver rathalos. wich has, as you might imagine, very strong silver scales.
it also has a hyper mode where it supercharges its fiery breath to turn the flames blue.
and in mhgu, we got the dreadking rathalos deviant, with a big boom nuke, bigger stronger wings and even more fire.
then in some spin-off games, it got some really weird sub-species: like the flaming rathalos.
the only thing known about it is that its burning until it dies. we saw this one in mh explore, a mobile game that was only released in japan.
and the final rathalos is the one and only: razewing ratha, from mh stories 2.
it has a special kinship attack then other rathalos, even though it is still called sky high dive.
