Elder Dragon
Elder Dragons are unique creatures that are able to live in a variety of landscapes and have a long lifespan. Although named dragons, they don't all necessarily have four legs or wings. Some may be horse-like like the Kirin, or octopus-like like the Yama Tsukami because of their unnecessary fitting into any categories of monsters. A trait unique among Elder Dragons is that if they are injured by the hunter, they may flee to a different area. Elder Dragons are the most unique and often the most difficult to defeat. The Raviente possesses features of the Lao Shan Lung, although it could be an entirely different species. The only Elder Dragons that have sub-species are Lao Shan Lung and Fatalis. Unfortunatley Teostra and Lunastra are not sub-species. They are both counter parts like Rathian and Rathalos.

Lao-Shan Lung
Nicknames: Lao
Titles: The Devastator, The Old Mountain Dragon, The Last Shadow, The Cannibal
Size: Monstrous
Status Inflictions: None
Weakness: Dragon
Habitat: Unknown
A giant dragon few have seen and lived to tell the tale. When on the rampage it wreaks havoc on all in its path. The guild has built a fortress to repel the beast.
Because so few have seen - and lived to tell of - the Lao-Shan Lung, not much information can be gathered from it. The Ashen Lao-Shan Lung that attacked years before provided very little information, but from the carcass of the slain Ashen Lao-Shan Lung it was determined their scaled became incredibly hard from minerals gathering on their scales as they tunnel through rock.
The counterpart of the Lao-Shan Lung is the Ashen Lao-Shan Lung which is known by 'The Last Shadow' as well as 'The Cannibal'.

Kirin
Nicknames: Kelbidrome
Titles: The Phantom Brute
Size: Small
Status Inflictions: Paralysis
Weakness: None
Habitat: Almost all
It casts a pure white "shadow" under it at all times. The Kirin can summon lightning to strike attackers, or the area around it. The Kirin can be seen in the Tower, Snowy Mountains, Swamp, Old Swamp, Battlefield, and Old Jungle.
Similarly to White Fatalis, Kirin's mane will continue to move or "flow" after its death. When it is close to death Kirin won't go into rage mode for a while, no matter how strong the attacks are.
Kirin is surrounded by sparks of electricity at all times, is capable of performing a double back kick, a frontal flip that also releases a vast swathe of lightning, a charge so fast it almost seems to teleport and a huge array of new, powerful, and highly accurate lightning attacks.

Yamatsukami
Nicknames: Yamakami
Titles: The Mountain God, The Star Swallower, The Ravaging Willow, Floating Disaster, Roaming Dragon
Size: Monstrous
Status Inflictions: None
Weakness: Dragon/Ice
Habitat: Unknown
Yama Tsukami are the oldest creatures known to hunters. Their skin is covered by Dragonmoss and Dragonwood. They have four tentacles and a pair of 'whiskers'. They also drop Dragonwood and Dragonmoss as rewards. When enraged, their red eyes glow yellow.
Their classification as an Elder Dragon is simply due to the fact that they do not fit into any category, like the Kirin. This mysterious creature's place in relation to other monsters is completely unknown. Although of tremendous size, it is able to constantly stay up in the air with no support. Their attacks are slow but devastating.
They seem to have a symbiotic relationship with Great Thunderbugs, which lets them rest inside a Yama Tsukami's body until they mature. In return, the Great Thunderbugs assist them by attacking Hunters. These Thunderbugs can explode when they are near a Hunter, causing a good amount of damage to their target.
Their most terrifying attribute is their preference for close proximity to civilization, no matter how big or small.

Kushala Daora
Nicknames: Daora
Titles: The Frozen Dictator
Size: Medium
Status Inflictions: Dragon/Freeze
Weakness: Dragon/Thunder/Poison
Habitat: Snowy Mountains and Desert
Kushala Daora is a wind-type Elder Dragon armed with a great variety of attacks: The Daora's most common element-based attack is its wind breath that can freeze the hunter if it is in the Snowy Mountains. Other living habitats include the Jungle and Desert.
A typical Kushala has silver-coloured skin constructed of a unique ore grown naturally by the Dragon. The rarer Kushala is one whose metalic skin has rusted to form a dark brown/red crust covering the skin. This skin is shed in a similar fashion to that of snakes, to reveal a softer shinier grey.
Sometimes the Kushala Daora's color can become rusted, thus their counterpart.
