Characteristics

Fearsome male wyverns known as the "Kings of the Skies." Alongside the Rathian, they stake out a wide territory around their nests, and it is the male's role to watch from above. Armed with powerful poisonous claws and fiery breath, Rathalos use their aerial prowess to descend on invaders.

Useful Info

As Kings of the Skies, Rathalos will attack with a variety of aerial strikes. A bright flash should be enough to disorient them and bring them down. When Rathalos are in trouble, their Rathian mates may swoop in to help, so be sure to have dung pods and large dung pods at the ready.

First Reveal of Rathalos

In the "zero" trailer, Rathalos only appeared for a few seconds, but it was enough to make it clear to everyone: the game is in good hands... It's nice to see that monsters don't age!

  • An artificial monster species created by an ancient civilization and imbued with Rathalos's power. Guardian Rathalos cannot reproduce and do not require food, relying instead on Wyvern Milk for energy. Just like the original Rathalos, they are superior fliers and will attack more violently with their claws while airborne.
  • Fire-breathing female wyverns known as the "Queens of the Land." Their powerful legs and venomous tails make them efficient ground hunters. At times, Rathian and Rathalos can be sighted hunting as a couple. After laying eggs, Rathian are extremely watchful of their nests. Proceed with extra caution, as a mother will move swiftly to protect her young.
