Kushala Daora

A romanization and anglicized of the Japanese name for the monster, kusharudaora. This name is itself a stylized anagram of rudorakusha, the Japanese name for rudraksha, dried red seeds used as Hindu prayer beads. Rudraksha themselves are named after Rudra, a Rig Vedic god of wind and storms. The name “Daora” likely comes from “daora,” a Japanese approximation of “d’aura” (of the aura/wind). It is named by various European missionaries and Asian monks that temporarily settled in Japan after World War II in 1947 AD.

The Kushala Daora is an elder dragon known for being tougher than stone. It is protected by wind around its entire body and has blue eyes like Europeans. The Kushala Daora is an European dragon with metallic-like scale skin made of natural mercury-manganese keratin. Its large wings connect at the base of its tail, making them seem even larger in proportion to its body. Two backward, curving horns lie on either side of its head, blending in with the spikes that line its back. It has visible wind streaming around its body. the Kushala Daora has a slightly reddish nose, a sign of rusting.

It seems like the rusted nose is actually no longer rusted (hence the name in Prakrit). In Pre-MH:World, these wings are unlike the world. In the Post-MH:World, it seems revamped by developers who liked the wings a little bit more. Eostre metalizes the keratin in bat-winged and never-folding elder dragons with sustainable wing membranes, such as Teostra and Chameleos.

The Kushala Daora is a wind manipulation in nature used for defense and offense. This terrain will add elements like water terrain and ice terrain that cause blight elements as well as snowman status. This skin was developed by metals from an unknown origin for this species, which is a special taxonomy of this dragon caused by a knight in a metal suit.

The most insane thing for this animal was a double stomp that releases dark energy and is able to inflict Chaosblight, and the stationary tornado will now suck in hunters before it is unleashed.

The Kushala Daora's wind barrier and its relates can be weakened or dispelled altogether by applying Pure-Seal. However, poisoning or flashing it to stun can weaken this wind barrier.

• Thunderstorm

• Tornado

Kushala Daora possesses some of the largest wings of any monster. It uses these to sail effortlessly in the air. It can hover off the ground and blast hunters with wind. It uses a special organ to produce its famous wind-based attacks and abilities. When hit with poison, its organs will be weak, and its shield will disappear for a short period of time while fighting the toxins.

Kushala Daora have tough, metal-filled skin but suffer from a severe weakness to poison, which can easily enter the bloodstream through cracks created in the skin. Kushala Daora must infrequently shed their trademark skin (which is made of organic metalized scales) as they grow, due to contact with iron-filled particles for shine, as a result of sharing with Scaly-foot gastropod, the only nonfictional animal. Both animals have shared an outer layer consisting of iron sulfides. This can easily be spotted, as the once-shining silver scales will rust over due to oxidation with air. Kushala is one of only a few vertebrate species that have undergone biomineralization.

The most well-known ability of Kushala Daora is the storms it summons via these special air-filled sweat glands. These storms can easily destroy whole regions, varying from region to region. Kushala Daora can cause sandstorms, hurricanes, and snowstorms, though it is unknown how, possibly through the mechanization of special organs and the brain working together like a natural air conditioner or gas-exchange cycle on the sweat glands and nervous system. Smoke indications on its large wings produce natural wind-causing leading-edge vortices on each wing pair. This animal triggers itself with the diaphragm to expel wind from sweat glands on large, metallic scales on its belly for release as part of territorial marking behavior or defense as an intentional explanation.

These ventral pockets on its chest and belly disperse an aerosolized protein mechanism like an air conditioner that warns any creatures in its presence. Or maybe used for courtship or communicating with other Kushala Daora to help each other in breeding season. This dragon possesses the Chaos Element, which is an overcharged immune response due to their blubber. Something unique to each individual and voracious enough to act even in another organism's body. The scientists think it being expelled from the body could be a similar mechanism to dissolved fats and hormones leaving the body through regular breathing, but on a much higher scale.

Like most other Elder Dragons, the status of Kushala Daora in any food chain is relatively top predatory and very mysterious. It is more researched than most of its brethren, however, and is known to be a predator. They likely sit atop many food chains in both the Earth and Monster Hunter universes and are feared by many, including some royal families. Kushala Daora are also known to feed on ore and other mineral resources. As with other elder dragons, their presence in a locale causes lesser monsters to flee. Even apex predators will often make a break for it when Kushala Daora has raided their turf. Only certain monsters will stand their ground against the Steel Dragon.

Like other Elder Dragons, Kushala Daora are highly aggressive. Interestingly however, in the Earth and Reinachos, they are normally calm, even when hunters approach and get close to it. Only when attacked, will it become aggressive.

Kushala Daora found between this all of known habitats except volcano unlike Elder Recess. This dragon was located in northern portion of Norway to Eurasia countries, migrate in Americas. Some individuals found elsewhere in realms such as Sawintir and Agarathos.

Introduction of Various Fauna of Our World - 99,000 BCE

It is likely the multidimensionally regulated organization known as the Time Variance Authority that allowed Kushala Daora and other fauna from another world to enter the sacred universe, as Harry Osborn and his friends at Oscorp discovered with the help of the Avengers Tower members. It is still unknown where these creatures from Monster Hunter's fauna came from. The godlike hominids known as the Isu, were born with superhuman skills, primarily without the use of physical magic, but with the capacity to predict the future. This is unless the unidentified character known as He Who Remains, a variation of Kang the Conqueror, sent these animals into the cosmos to challenge the Isu species.

He Who Remains introduced numerous species to this universe in the prehistoric era after winning the terrible Multiversal War brought on by his own variations. Because of the gravity and oxygen constraints, he reduced the size of Monster Hunter's animals. All Elder Dragon species' skills were significantly nerfed, and he received help from Arishem and Uatu to have Monster Hunter's animals change into their own versions of themselves.

Pre-PAPRIN - 70,000 BCE-1989 AD

This is one of the mythical creatures and invasive characters from the Monster Hunter series, along with Velkhana and Chameleos. It was confirmed that Kushala was male, while Velkhana was also female for the protectors of Ahtohallan, a phantom island called by ancient times the home of Coincidentally and Purity. Ahtohallan was located in the northern portion of Norway and near the center of the Arctic Ocean.

The Kushala Daora is clothed in metallized keratin scales that are nearly impervious to poison, with the exception of an extremely sharp poisoned dart. Harry Osborn, son of Norman Osborn, also known as the "Green Goblin," is aware of the Elder Dragon's primary element and weaknesses, which are Electric, Chaos, and Poison. The Elder Dragon's ability to regulate air pressure and produce storms is one of the most frustrating things his father knows about this animal's defense.

Maxwell Dillon, an Oscorp defector electrical engineer, is fired by Norman Osborn for his carelessness in failing to save Norman's friend and for being unexpectedly killed by the Kirin in mainland China. Dillon wants to exact revenge on Osborn, Stark, Parker, Leeds, Watson, and Rogers by using the Kirin's electrical gem—the same creature that he killed for retribution—to transform him into "Electro," one of Spider-Man's enemies. Despite having a disadvantage as an electric-wielding villain with the Elder Dragon's gem, Electro was unfortunately almost destroyed by the Kushala Daora, the Elder Dragon.

Weather Dragons: Legacies of Ahtohallan - 2022 AD

Both Austin and Cristine are actually descendants of Loki and Sigyn, as well as Lancelot and Guinevere, and Kushala and Velkhana always act as protection for Princess Isolde. This elder dragon never struggles against the Nuckelavee and the Fomorians (including Balor), caused by the destruction of the Titanic sinking and killing the well-known couple by Satan's rule and Hades' command against Chang'e and Quetzalcoatl.

Kushala Daora and Velkhana are the only characters who also protect the main characters like Joszef, Dorottya, Bartal, Daniel, Generosity, Leonardo, Arleigh, Emmanuel, Francisca, Tzipporah, Jerry, and others; other historical characters like Empress Sisi, Napoleon Bonaparte, King Mihai I of Romania, Simon Bolivar, Manuela Saenz, and others for Eostre and the rest of the world.

Worldcraft Damnation Series - 3015-3019 AD

The Worldcraft series (set in the 3010s) also used this dragon in an episode called "Damnation," which takes place on a planet in the constellation Cygnus that the local aliens refer to as Reinachos or Ityosel. The "Sky People" arrived and sent the Kushala Daora as hatchlings for rewilding because our planet is dead and has a harmful impact on both local races and animals in this valuable planet with a troubled past.

The Kushala Daora is one of the introduced species that the Terrans brought with them, and it poses a serious threat to the members of the Assassin, Templar, and Hunter groups. It lived in both supercontinents in the Northern Hemisphere, from east to west, and even the descendants of the settlers—human, elf, dwarf, orc, ogre, and others—worship it as a "Guardian" that the Terrans fled. Together with her mother Arianna, Archie Buenaventura and Isabella Morrison visit Jejirique, a continent that is home to the LGBT community and the three largest ethnic groups (Nahua, Norwegian, and Chinese), who uphold gender equality and human rights while preserving their culture.
