Rathalos

Rathalos is a creature from the Capcom-made series Monster Hunter.

History
A winged wyvern, also known as the "King of the Skies." And it certainly lives up to its name. With its deadly breath and claw attacks, Rathalos is synonymous with death from above.

During Operation Peace Walker, Big Boss and several MSF members encountered Rathalos on Isla del Monstrua when invited to come to the island as a result of encountering Trenya on Playa del Alba. It attacks by spitting fireballs, charging, tail-swings, and swoops.

Trivia

 * In a briefing file with Chico, Chico explains that Rathalos was in an old Pirate Lore book of his. Chico also implies that Rathalos may have been responsible for the attacks on Ships in the middle of the ocean.

Behind the Scenes
If the player beats Rathalos and gets lucky, he or she will receive an intact, top grade Rathalos wing whose fine cut is worthy of the Sky King himself. Aside from including an image of the Wing as well as a Model-viewer bio of Rathalos, it also unlocks design specs for the Tanegashima Musket. However, given the fallacies behind creating a 1500s Arquebus with a fine-wood finish out of a Rathalos wing, which weighs at least some hundred pounds and does not contain any wood in it, it is more likely that, if the Militaires Sans Frontieres ended up assembling a Tanegashima Musket, they got the design specs elsewhere. Also, defeating Rathalos non-lethally as well as earning an S-rank will unlock the Rathalos Uniform, which adds Rathalos's Bind Voice ability to CO-OPS messages. The message causes enemies to stop moving.
