- His head, back, and wings (individual) can be broken, and his tail severed.
- Rathalos is the flagship monster for the entire series.
- 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 has appeared in many franchise crossovers:
- As a special boss in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Final Fantasy XIV, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- As a playable entity in TEPPEN, Dragalia Lost, Puzzle & Dragons and Arknights.
- 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.

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.
A previous mutation of Rathalos (1 - Freedom Unite) bore many bodily differences, such as a slightly thinner body, smaller wings and altered talon shape, and an elongated neck and tail. The common species of Rathalos (3 onwards) became more dominant and rendered these specimens recessive and thus extinct/in hiding. These biological patterns also applied to its subspecies, rare species, and other relatives before they've gone missing in favor of dominant gene changes as well.
