This discrepancy is mostly due to the Western localization of Monster Hunter, as Flying Wyverns (such as Rathalos) are referred to as 飛竜種 ("flying dragon species") in the original Japanese, while Elder Dragon boss monsters simply use a different, antiquated kanji for "dragon" ( 古龍種, "old dragon species"). Much like Charizard, Rathalos is not explicitly referred to as a dragon in Western versions of its home series, but is treated as one in Super Smash Bros. Various weapons and armor can be created from materials procured from hunting Rathalos in its home series. Its description in Monster Hunter World states that "Rathalos descends upon invaders from the sky, attacking with poison claws and fiery breath", which is reflected accordingly in its attacks in Smash. In addition to its female counterpart Rathian, there are a number of Rathalos subspecies in existence, such as Azure Rathalos. It is sometimes known by its epithet "King of the Skies", and belongs to the Flying Wyvern family of monsters. While many monsters of varying types are referred to as "Wyverns" in the Monster Hunter universe, the Rathalos closely fits the real-world classical definition of a wyvern, like an armless, winged dragon with fire breath and poisonous claws. A Rathalos as it originally appeared in Monster Hunter.Ī Rathalos is a recurring monster from the Monster Hunter series and is both the flagship monster for the original Monster Hunter and the mascot of the series as a whole.
