Kushala Daora
Type	Large monster Elder Dragon		Threat lv	8 / 10
Element	Ice Dragon		Status	Ice Dragon
Weak	Thunder		Resist	Water Ice

Introduction

Description: It's difficult to even get close to one of these metallic elder dragons, but some claim better odds if the creature is weakened with poison, or has its horn broken, limiting the amount of wind pressure it can muster.

Hunter tips: Beckons dark dragon wind pressure as the whirlwinds surrounding its body seethe more wildly, and will deflect any non-piercing bow or bowgun shots not aimed at its head. Keep on the attack to quell the wind's power—reports also tell of an opening in its stormy barrier after unleashing a giant wind attack.

Habitats: Frost Islands, Sandy Plains, Jungle, Citadel
