- Its head, back, and wings (individual) can be broken, and its 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.
- 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.[3]
Help:Large Monster Pages
From MHWiki
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
- Navigate to https://mhwiki.xyz/wiki/RefData:Sandbox_Monster_Page
- Select edit
- Copy the contents of the page, excluding the final line that includes "Do not include in the filled pages"
- Navigate to the large monster page that you wish to create
- Paste the contents from the sandbox page
- 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.
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, Diablos to Espinas).
MonsterInfobox
This is the infobox that appears in the top right of the large monster pages.
Image
The image files for large monsters can be found in this category: 20th Anniversary Monster Renders
Title
Please keep in mind the Help:Source Priority system.
Introduced
Please keep in mind the naming conventions specified in Editing Guidelines
Length, Height, and Foot
Please convert these to meters and include a maximum of two digits right of the decimal (maybe?).
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.
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 here (Wilds, Sunbreak, Iceborne, etc), then the rest relegated and linked to their own individual pages, such as Rathalos/Iceborne.

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.[1][2]
Description
| Monster Hunter Now | |
|---|---|
|
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. 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. |

**Rathalos has appeared in every single 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.
**As a playable entity in [[TEPPEN]], [[Dragalia Lost]], [[Puzzle & Dragons]] and [[Arknights]].

*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. He will also fly and ascend to his target's height to attack more.
*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 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.
*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 has appeared in many franchise crossovers:
**As a special boss in [[Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker]], [[Final Fantasy XIV]], [[Arknights]], and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].
**As an armor set in [[Super Smash Bros for Wii U]] and [[Sonic Frontiers]].
*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.
