- His head, back, and wings (individual) can be broken, and his tail severed.
- Rathalos is the flagship monster for the entire series.
- 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.
