Pink Rathian (Dilitirodispodus kokotonica) is the Azure Rathalos' female wyvern and the variant introduced in Monster Hunter. The Pink Rathian is a genetic mutation of the Rathian.
Etymology
Coming from English word wrath, because of the word removes the letter W- into rath; and suffix word for feminine -ian.
Physical Appearance
Her body is covered in an exceptionally strong golden shell, making it difficult to attack without the hunter's weapon bouncing off. She is slightly larger than the average Rathian.
Abilities
The Gold Rathian is weakest to the Thunder Element and is, like all Rathians, capable of inflicting the poison ailment and shooting fireballs. She is able to wield her flame sac with greater control and ferocity than the common species.
Gold Rathian is able to enter a new mode in which she becomes "wreathed in hellfire", signified by her head, chest, and a bit of the neck and wings of her chest glowing red or blue.
She can be knocked out of this state by dealing enough damage to her head. When wreathed in hellfire, she is able to spit blue fireballs that leave large patches of burning ground where they hit. Standing in those patches will rapidly reduce health, although this can be alleviated by wearing the fireproof attributes. In this state, she is able to perform a larger variety of attacks with her tail and has a massive blue fireball attack.
Weakness
Rathians are weakened by poison to make fewer fireball attacks, but not poison can nerf. One of the main reasons Rathian can fall in the sky is a flash bomb that goes off. It also works to free a pinned hunter. When Rathian is low on stamina, her fire breath fails.
Weather Phenomenon
Wildfire: Rathian breathes fire to spread out the causing bushfire. Causing herbivores ran away from Rathian and Rathalos.
Ecology
Gold Rathian share their home with other large predators, such as Elder Dragons, and are most likely in the middle of the food chain since Elder Dragons are known to build their nests there. It must therefore compete for its food and survival with powerful creatures.
The dominant trait of the Gold Rathian is its gold coloration and the location of its weak spot. Unlike the green and pink subspecies, whose primary weak spot is the head, the Gold Rathian's weak spot is its wings. Other than these differences, it shares most of its traits with the other Rathian species.
The Gold Rathian also appears to be far more agile than the other Rathian species, as it is far less likely to trip during its charges and can perform aerial maneuvers with much more deadly results than its relatives. In fact, it is even able to chain its abilities together into potentially lethal combinations. Furthermore, its fire attacks from those in the New World are bluish in color and far more explosive, indicating an even hotter, deadlier flame than normal.
Behavior
Gold Rathian must be very aggressive to survive, accounting for their heightened aggression compared to the standard and pink subspecies.
