Slicing Scales

Corpses strewn about below foreshadow an unexpected arrival.

Before long, golden blades fall from the sky, tearing everything to shreds. With the blinding sun behind its back, the savage sniper appears.

Those who try to evade their inevitable deaths by going in for the attack... Will only succeed at fulfilling the creature's cravings.

As it soars high into the sky... And marks another golden grave.

Destruction Incarnate

At a distant flight
Lies an island of fire
There walks a dark beast
A great ball of ire

Wielders of flame
Who dare to engage
Will only succeed at
Igniting its rage

For it's the top player
And the world is its stage

Queen of the Land

Arid plains at night
Flames billowing high

This is where she makes her realm
Best to not ho nigh
Fire scorching the earth
Lighting up the sky
When her highness sets her eyes on you
It's time to say goodbye

Characteristics

Fire-breathing female wyverns, also known as the "Queens of the Land". With powerful legs and poison-secreting tails, they hunt mainly on the ground. Sometimes seen preying as a couple, Rathian and Rathalos cooperate well.

Useful Info

The strong venom in her tail, along with the wide reach of her sweeping attacks, makes maneuvering around the Rathian a dangerous feat. Cutting off her tail can give you quite a bit more breathing room.

Related Monsters
  • A Rathian so mighty, it was crowned an Apex. Its body is covered in scars and wounds as if it had been caught in a storm, and it's seemingly always dominated by wrath and terror. Its tail oozes venom far deadlier than any of a normal monster. The call of an Apex unleashes it tortured anger on nearby beasts, driving them into a frenzy.
  • A rare species of Rathian covered in shimmering golden scales. Known as the Gold Fire Wyvern, or alternatively the Golden Moon, as inspired for their strong scales and attacks with their reinforced tails, giving these beasts exceptional combat ability. In battle, their attacks grow only more intense when in their Incandescent state.
  • An ultra-aggressive creature that is rarely sighted and seldom survived. Those that have survived report that it exhibits a strange attack. Rajang are said to be loners, and this isolated life has made it difficult to pin down its territorial leanings. When angered, part of its pelt turns a golden color.
