Gold Rathian

Type	Large monster Flying Wyvern	Threat lv	9 / 10
Element	Fire	Status	Fire Poison
Weak	Thunder Water	Resist	Fire Dragon

Introduction

Description: A rare species of Rathian covered in shimmering golden scales. Known as the Gold Fire Wyvern, or alternatively the Golden Moon, as inspired by their divine appearance. These wyverns are infamous 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.

Hunter tips: Gold Rathian will use their tail to greater effect compared to standard Rathian, so watch out as their tail strikes will come at you from different ranges and trajectories. When in their Incandescent state, their tail attacks grow fiercer, but their head also becomes weaker. Constant attacks to the head will knock them out of this enraged state, so focus your attacks there as you fight!

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