The mighty rathalos is an apex predator that prefers to attack from above, launching fireballs upon those below. The rathalos has red scales and many monster hunters consider hunting a rathalos to be emblematic of their profession. Many guilds display rathalos bones or claws taken from past hunts as trophies. The rathalos is the male counterpart to the rathian. When a pair of a rathalos and rathian finds a suitable location for a nest, they defend it fiercely, especially if there are any eggs or young within. King of the Skies. While the rathian patrols their shared territory from the ground, the rathalos soars through the sky, attacking any intruders from above. Some foolish hunters attempt to lure a rathalos and rathian into battling each other to distract them, little knowing that the pair will team up against their enemies. When either is threatened, they call their mate for aid.
