Element	Fire		Status	Poison Fire
Weak	Thunder Dragon		Resist	Fire

Introduction

Description: 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 a venom far deadlier than any of a normal monster. The call of an Apex unleashes its tortured anger on nearby beasts, driving them into a frenzy.

Hunter tips: An angry Apex Rathian will trigger a devastating move, spraying poisonous thorns in all directions, creating toxic fields wherever they land. Push on against an enraged Apex to quickly rid it of its rage and steady its temper.

Habitats: Shrine Ruins, Sandy Plains, Flooded Forest, Lava Caverns, Jungle
