Help:Large Monster Pages

This is a help page describing how to properly edit Large Monster pages on this wiki, such as Great Jagras.

Prerequisites

The general help pages listed here: Help:Contents

Creating a New Page

1. Navigate to https://mhwiki.xyz/wiki/RefData:Sandbox_Monster_Page
2. Select edit
3. Copy the contents of the page, excluding the final line that includes "Do not include in the filled pages"
4. Navigate to the large monster page that you wish to create
5. Paste the contents from the sandbox page
6. Edit according to the guidelines below

It can be helpful to view the markdown of an already existing monster page to use as a reference. (Rathalos, Lunastra, etc)

Editing an Existing Page

The following definitions and conventions have been established for the various fields on the page. Please follow them to keep all pages consistent, or reach out to Wiki staff if you believe they should be changed.

Most fields should be sufficiently described by the default info copied from the sandbox page, but some sections are described in more detail below.

NavigationMonsterSpecies

This is the navigation bar at the top of a large monster page with related monsters. If the monster whose page you're creating has a subspecies, deviant, etc. simply add the monster's name in the corresponding field of this template. Delete any unused fields. "Related Species" refers to a minion (such as Jagras to Great Jagras), opposite gender categorized as another monster (such as Rathian to Rathalos), or a different growth stage (such as Gravios to Basarios). More loose relations to other monsters will be relatives at the very end of the navigation bar (Radobaan to Uragaan).

MonsterInfobox

This is the infobox that appears in the top right of the large monster pages. Its paramaters are described below, and are easily filled by typing after the =.

Image

The image files for large monsters can be found in this category: 20th Anniversary Monster Renders https://mhwiki.xyz/index.php?search=Shorthand&title=Special%3ASearch&fulltext=1

Title

Please keep in mind the Help:Source Priority system. Some monsters like Velocidrome have harder to confirm titles, do keep empty if unsure.

Introduced

Note the monster’s debut game. Use initials from Editors: Game Shorthands.

Class

Note the monster's classification, such as Flying Wyvern or Elder Dragon.

Element

List elements and statuses the monster inflicts.

Length, Height, and Foot

If stated in any written media, please write down canon size parameters to the . decimal point. (23.54)

Habitats

General biomes that the monster lives in are listed here rather than specific locales. State the monster lives in Forests, Deserts, etc.

Relatives

The same criteria from NavigationMonsterSpecies applies to what should be included here. Closest relatives are put here, though potentially not as many to prevent the infobox pushing down other info in the page.

Taxonomy

Describing the monster's taxonomy from "Order" to "Family" is listed here.

Please see a filled evolutionary tree such as Evolutionary Tree - Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak: Official Complete Works to see what to fill in for the monster, or whatever official media has it if not in a evolutionary tree page.

Description

Infobox to be used for all monster pages. Use the monster’s corresponding game icon and write its description, ★ threat level, and additional hunting notes for that game.

Game Data

Write about the monster’s specific data such as locales, hitzones, carves, and weapons/armor in this section.

Only data from the monster's latest title appearance should be at the top (Wilds, Sunbreak, Iceborne, etc), then the rest relegated and linked to their own individual pages in Previous Titles, such as Rathalos/MHWI and Rathalos/MH1.

Game Appearances

List all game appearances, as well as specify the title the monster was introduced in, here.

The list should go Main Series > Frontier > Stories > Spin-Off > Crossovers > Other Media > Cameos. In general, the titles should be listed from oldest to newest.

Frontier appearances outside its original update appearance, as well as more minor spin-offs, can be lumped together using ** instead of *. Major spin-offs (Online, Now, Explore) can be listed higher up, then the rest of minor spin-offs below.

Other Media describes books, movies, real-life Capcom attractions, etc. Cameos are games the monster DOESN'T appear in, however exist in the game in the form of weapons or armor (Terms of speech like "A pain in the Astalos" does not count).

Locales

List all locales the monster appears in, following mostly the rules as Game Appearances: Main Series first, oldest to newest, etc. (hr) will separate Main Series from Spin-Off locales.

Online locales can be put before Stories locales, since they're more similar to the rest of the series.

Villages

List all villages the monster appears in, following the rules above.

Mostly small monsters appear in some villages, with rare cases in the Stories series.

Information from Printed Media

A category that contains expansive info of the monster from official Monster Hunter books. Do not write anything here, instead writing in the subcategory below.

Title of Printed Media

Place all actual book info here. Japanese translated content should be reviewed with fluent moderators before posting.

(Replace "Title of Printed Media" with the actual title, such as "Monster Hunter World: The Official Complete Works").

Other Languages

List the monster's name then title in languages here. Pronounciations and definition (if any) are placing in parentheses after name and/or title.

Monsters whose names don't change in a specific language can just have their title written only.

(Note International is English)

Notes

Notes and details about the monster can be written here.

General notes are all-encompassing and important to the entire series, while title specific notes such as new monster attacks can be placed in title notes, like "Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Notes =". Title notes will have abbreviated tabs for convenience.

Etymology notes describe the monster's name origin, and even design origin. Put reference links if available at the end of the sentence.

Miscellaneous notes are monster notes that are overall less important, belonging to minor spinoffs, describing crossovers, or even references and parodies in non-Capcom media such as third-party games or anime (as long as it is official media, trademarked, and isn't NSFW).

More important details should be put at the top, whereas lesser details can be put at the bottom. Monster broken parts and roar data should always be at the top of General Notes, and ecology/intro at the bottom of each game tab.

References

A references tab for any written reference link with (< ref >) text (< /ref >). Little numbers like will pop up and when clicked, will lead you to the designated link section (normally this section, but it leads to the example version below).

Gallery

A gallery section where picture files of the monster are recorded. (These are likely to be turned into their own pages instead of a small section)

Categories

Category templates can be assigned to the monster here, which will show on the right side of the page (or bottom if on mobile/page length is adjusted). Two brackets should be assigned on each side of the written category, four in total (unlike examples below)

Variation and Special categories should go first, such as [Category:Subspecies] [Category:Hyper Monster]. Then game appearances such as [Category:MH1 Monsters].

Some categories like "Flying Wyvern" are auto-assigned via the monster infobox, and are at the top of the category list.

The Fire Wyvern Rathalos (リオレウス, rioreusu) is a Flying Wyvern introduced in the original Monster Hunter.

Physiology and Abilities

Rathalos are large flying wyverns characterized by their red shells adorned with black markings. Their large wings possess a strong membrane with fiery dark marks coming from the wing arm. The tail-tip is noticeably wider than the rest of the tail, and is used as a club.

The talons of a Rathalos can secrete a powerful toxin capable of disorienting large animals, while their developed flame sac allows them to spit large fireballs.

Rathalos are the male part of a sexually dimorphic species, and are often seen alongside their female counterpart, Rathian.

Rathalos is affected by Regional Variation, where individuals within the same species look slightly different based on where they live. The Rathalos seen near Minegarde and Dundorma (=those seen in the games from Monster Hunter to Monster Hunter Freedom Unite) are quite thin, with long necks and wider maws. The Rathalos found near Moga, Val Habar, the New World and Kamura (those seen in the games from Monster Hunter 3 onwards) are much bulkier by comparison, and have stronger legs.

Description

Monster Hunter Now

File:MHNow-Large Monster Pages Icon.png

Characteristics: A fearsome flying wyvern who has earned the moniker "King of the Skies." Together with its female counterpart, it forms its territory around their nest, keeping close watch from above. With its powerful wings, it swiftly descends to intercept any trespassers, assailing them with its mighty, poisonous claws. In addition, it is well known for its ability to breathe fire. Useful Information: As implied by its title of "King of the Skies," this monster is capable of taking flight, whereupon it will attack from above with its flame breath. By targeting its wings, or severing its tail, you may be able to force it to descend to the ground. Habitat: Forest

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak

Terrible wyverns called "Kings of the Skies." Along with Rathian, they stake wide territories centered around their nest. Rathalos descend on invaders from the sky, attacking with poison claws and a breath of fire. Threat Level: ★★★★★★ The King of the Skies lives up to its name by staying airborne for most of its attacks. A well-aimed Flash Bomb can help to bring a Rathalos down to earth, however.

Monster Hunter
	Male wyvern that keeps a nest and patrols its territory from the air in search of prey. Its claws are filled with poison that weakens its prey.

Notes

General Notes

• Its head, back, and wings (individual) can be broken, and its tail severed.
• Rathalos' roar is Strong. Level 5 Earplugs nullifies it.
  • In Rise, Rathalos' roar is Weak. Level 2 Earplugs / Level 1 Defiance nullifies it.
• Rathalos is the flagship monster for the original Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter Freedom, some spinoffs like Monster Hunter Now, and for the entire franchise.
• Rathalos has appeared in every game in the series (save for some minor spinoffs), alongside Rathian, Kelbi and the Felynes.
• Rathalos received a modern redesign in Monster Hunter 3 that remains current for all future titles. The same is true for its relatives such as Azure Rathalos and Rathian.
  • All species of the Rathalos/Rathian race also gained a new roar in Monster Hunter: World. Only in some spinoffs such as Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin are their old roars reused.
• Rathalos, Lagiacrus, and Estrellian are the only flagships to have area themes play rather than unique themes. However, Rathalos is often associated with his debut location (and its theme), Forest and Hills.
  • Monster Hunter Online is exempt from this, where Forest and Hills music always plays for Rathalos, Azure Rathalos, and Silver Rathalos.
• Rathalos ranked 21st place in the Top Monster competition during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary, just short of the congratulated top 20.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

Rathalos appears in Nargacuga's and Zinogre's intros.

Monster Hunter Rise

Rathalos can appear in the Rampage, where it is considered a Targetter.

Rathalos gains an attack where he breathes a wall of flames while flying forward.

To strike airborne targets, Rathalos can shoot fireballs upwards diagonally. He will also fly and ascend to his target's altitude to attack further with fireballs.

Rathalos first appeared in the second Rise trailer, "The Game Awards 2020 Trailer." He appears in a Rampage cutscene that was never released to the actual game.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak

Rathalos appears in Malzeno's intro.

Monster Hunter Stories 2

Breaking Rathalos' wings while its flying will Down him for the current turn and next turn.

Like most flying monsters, Rathalos is eligible for Air Showdown duels.

• Also like some flying monsters, Rathalos can be grounded with a Flash Bomb while flying, Downing him for the rest of the turn. (Immune while Enraged Flying)

Rathalos and its eggs are only found after the final boss is defeated, since it preys on Rathalos and made its local population go missing.

While most monsters have minor color changes from elemental mutation, a Dragon-mutated Rathalos has severely darker crimson scales. (Easier seen at level 1)

Miscellaneous

The Fire Wyvern '''Rathalos''' (リオレウス, ''rioreusu'') is a [[Flying Wyvern]] introduced in the original [[Monster Hunter]].

__TOC__

==Physiology and Abilities==
Rathalos are large flying wyverns characterized by their red shells adorned with black markings. Their large wings possess a strong membrane with fiery dark marks coming from the wing arm. The tail-tip is noticeably wider than the rest of the tail, and is used as a club.

The talons of a Rathalos can secrete a powerful toxin capable of disorienting large animals, while their developed flame sac allows them to spit large fireballs.

Rathalos are the male part of a [[Sexual Dimorphism|sexually dimorphic]] species, and are often seen alongside their female counterpart, [[Rathian]].

Rathalos is affected by [[Regional Variation]], where individuals within the same species look slightly different based on where they live. The Rathalos seen near [[Minegarde]] and [[Dundorma]] (=those seen in the games from [[Monster Hunter]] to [[Monster Hunter Freedom Unite]]) are quite thin, with long necks and wider maws. The Rathalos found near [[Moga]], [[Val Habar]], the [[New World]] and [[Kamura]] (those seen in the games from [[Monster Hunter 3]] onwards) are much bulkier by comparison, and have stronger legs.<ref>Monster Hunter World: The Official Complete Works, pg. 280</ref><ref>Hunter's Encyclopedia 3, pg. 48</ref>

==Description==
{{MonsterDescription
|Description='''Characteristics:''' A fearsome flying wyvern who has earned the moniker "King of the Skies."<br/>Together with its female counterpart, it forms its territory around their nest, keeping close watch from above.<br/>With its powerful wings, it swiftly descends to intercept any trespassers, assailing them with its mighty, poisonous claws.<br/>In addition, it is well known for its ability to breathe fire.

'''Useful Information:''' As implied by its title of "King of the Skies," this monster is capable of taking flight, whereupon it will attack from above with its flame breath.<br/>By targeting its wings, or severing its tail, you may be able to force it to descend to the ground.

'''Habitat''': Forest

{{MonsterDescription
|Description=Terrible wyverns called "Kings of the Skies." Along with Rathian, they stake wide territories centered around their nest. Rathalos descend on invaders from the sky, attacking with poison claws and a breath of fire.<br/>'''Threat Level: ★★★★★★'''<br/>The King of the Skies lives up to its name by staying airborne for most of its attacks. A well-aimed '''Flash Bomb can help to bring a Rathalos down to earth, however.'''

==Notes==
{{Monster Notes
|General Notes =
*Its head, back, and wings (individual) can be broken, and its tail severed.
*Rathalos' roar is '''Strong'''. Level 5 Earplugs nullifies it.
**In [[Monster Hunter Rise|Rise]], Rathalos' roar is '''Weak'''. Level 2 Earplugs / Level 1 Defiance nullifies it.
*Rathalos is the flagship monster for the original [[Monster Hunter]], [[Monster Hunter Freedom]], some spinoffs like [[Monster Hunter Now]], and for the entire franchise.
*Rathalos has appeared in every game in the series (save for some minor spinoffs), alongside [[Rathian]], [[Kelbi]] and the [[Felyne|Felynes]].
*Rathalos received a modern redesign in [[Monster Hunter 3]] that remains current for all future titles. The same is true for its relatives such as Azure Rathalos and Rathian.
**All species of the Rathalos/Rathian race also gained a new roar in [[Monster Hunter: World]]. Only in some spinoffs such as [[Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin]] are their old roars reused.
*Rathalos, [[Lagiacrus]], and [[Estrellian]] are the only flagships to have area themes play rather than unique themes. However, Rathalos is often associated with his debut location (and its theme), [[Forest and Hills]].
**Monster Hunter Online is exempt from this, where Forest and Hills music always plays for Rathalos, Azure Rathalos, and Silver Rathalos.
*Rathalos ranked 21st place in the Top Monster competition during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary, just short of the congratulated top 20.<ref>https://www.monsterhunter.com/20th/en/vote-monster/result/</ref>
|Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Notes =
*Rathalos appears in [[Nargacuga]]'s and [[Zinogre]]'s intros.
|Monster Hunter Rise Notes =
*Rathalos can appear in the [[Rampage]], where it is considered a [[Targetter]].
*Rathalos gains an attack where he breathes a wall of flames while flying forward.
*To strike airborne targets, Rathalos can shoot fireballs upwards diagonally. He will also fly and ascend to his target's altitude to attack further with fireballs.
*Rathalos first appeared in the second Rise trailer, "The Game Awards 2020 Trailer." He appears in a Rampage cutscene that was never released to the actual game.
|Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Notes =
*Rathalos appears in [[Malzeno]]'s intro.
|Monster Hunter Stories 2 Notes =
*Breaking Rathalos' wings while its flying will Down him for the current turn and next turn.
*Like most flying monsters, Rathalos is eligible for Air Showdown duels.
**Also like some flying monsters, Rathalos can be grounded with a Flash Bomb while flying, Downing him for the rest of the turn. (Immune while [[File:5thGen-Wing Icon Red.png|24x24px]] Enraged Flying)
*Rathalos and its eggs are only found after the [[Oltura|final boss]] is defeated, since it preys on Rathalos and made its local population go missing.
*While most monsters have minor color changes from elemental mutation, a Dragon-mutated Rathalos has severely darker crimson scales. (Easier seen at level 1)
|Miscellaneous Notes =
*Rathalos is a boss in [[Monster Hunter Puzzles: Felyne Isles]]. He will set a couple of spaces on fire, and matching next to them will extinguish them.
**Rathalos also appears as the 2nd tutorial level, to introduce bosses.
