Physiology and Abilities
Description
| Monster Hunter World: Iceborne | |
|---|---|
|
An azure-colored subspecies of Rathalos. More mobile than their standard cousins, they locate prey from the air and quickly swoop in for the kill. Useful Information: Counter its airborne onslaught by observing its flight patterns and finding the right moment to knock it out of the sky. Once grounded, it loses its ability to perform consecutive attacks, making the fight much easier. |

Known habitat: Ancient Forest, Elder's Recess
This blue subspecies of Rathalos is noticeably more aggressive and short-tempered than its red counterpart. It is known to fly into a ferocious rage when challenged, and has often been observed openly attacking red Rathalos, despite their close relation. This wrath also empowers the Azure Rathalos' deadly fire breath: It has been noted that the flames grow hotter and more destructive as the wyverns ire crescendos. On a physiological level, increased irritation and anger seem to allow for a wider expansion of the lungs, enabling the Azure Rathalos to funnel more air into its fire organ and an shoot its flames further than usual.
The dazzling blue shell is many times tougher than the armor found on red Rathalos. This additional defense allows the Azure Rathalos to shrug off even the fiercest attacks. The shell is also supremely heat resistant - very useful for traversing volcanic regions. Despite sporting a tougher shell, the Azure Rathalos is much more agile than its cousin. Its aerial maneuverability is second to none, and its well documented to employ rapid air combo attacks that leave little room for counter strategies. A key element in this agility is the reinforced wing membrane of the Azure Rathalos, which enables more aggressive yet accurate flying. This increased activity however comes at a cost: Azure Rathalos exhaust themselves fairly quickly, especially when enraged. In a worst case scenario, they will be forced to land to catch their breath, which leaves them vulnerable and awkward.
How exactly the Azure Rathalos emerged in the New World is still unknown, but there are two leading theories: A) a population of regular Rathalos settled in the Elder's Recess and were altered by the regions energy, thus convergently evolving into Azure Rathalos over time or B) Azure Rathalos from the Old World migrated to the New Continent. Another curiousity is the Azure Rathalos' habitats in the New World - its shell seems well adapted to the sweltering heat of the Elder's Recess, so why does it appear occassionally in the Ancient Forest? A Third Fleet Scholar suggested that while the Elder's Recess is rich in energy, the heat makes child rearing difficult. So its possible that Azure Rathalos migrate to the Ancient Forest during the breeding season.
Developer's Note: The development team brought back Azure Rathalos because they wanted to include a flying enemy in the Elder's Recess that wasn't an Elder Dragon. Among the possible candidates, Azure Rathalos was chosen because of how it evolved the gameplay of Rathalos. The team wanted to make Rathalos a powerful opponent whose movements and behaviors had to be managed carefully by the player, but since Rathalos is encountered fairly early in the game, they had to hold back in designing the difficulty of that fight. Azure Rathalos is encountered much later and so allowed the team to fully realize their vision for a Rathalos fight. This includes more interactions with slinger ammo and partbreaks. It is designed to be a battle that is very tough unless the hunter learns to handle flying monsters well - the team imagined that it would have many players screaming "Why won't he come down?!".
