Dreadking Rathalos

Dreadking Rathalos are Deviants of Rathalos introduced in Monster Hunter Generations.

Physiology
Bearing a strong resemblance to normal Rathalos, the Dreadking Rathalos doesn't have many qualities to differentiate itself from them. Despite looking alike, Dreadking Rathalos are overall larger wyverns, with relatively thicker features such as their talons and tail spines. They are also more of a crimson color where the normal Rathalos is red, and their black plating has a noticable iridescent sheen. The patterns on their wings are identical, but in contrast to normal Rathalos, a Dreadking's wings are a darker brown with cream colored markings.

Abilities
Dreadking Rathalos have the same movesets as their relatives, but with a few new ones of their own. They are capable of shooting fireballs that stay on the ground slowly changing from the color black to orange before it explodes. The explosion covers a wide area, which is indicated by a large sphere of fire around the fireball. Also, the sphere also drains the health of hunters within the explosions radius.

Dreadking Rathalos venomous talons further developed to contain Noxious Poison.

In MHXX, like their female counterparts, Dreadking Rathalos are capable of shooting three fireballs at a time.

Behavior
Dreadking Rathalos are truly dangerous monsters with their destructive fireballs. Hunters are required to have a special permit in order to hunt them.

Habitat
Dreadking Rathalos inhabit almost any environment like their pre-evolved relative, Rathalos.
