Rathalos
Type	Large monster Flying Wyvern		Threat lv	6 / 10
Element	Fire		Status	Poison Fire
Weak	Thunder Dragon		Resist	Fire

Introduction

Description: Terrible wyverns called "Kings of the Skies". Along with Rathian, they stake wide territories centered around their nests. Rathalos descend on invaders from the sky, attacking with poison claws and a breath of fire.

Hunter tips: 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.

Habitats: Shrine Ruins, Lava Caverns, Citadel
