Welcome to Gaia! ::

Suggested Weapon: If you are going to Head Lock (use this only on Plate Runs please) a lance with 400+ attack, a dragon elemental weapon is suggested, or maybe a water elemental weapon.

Suggested Armor: Armor that has good Fire resistance or dragon if you happen to come across one like the Hornetaur

Weaknesses: Head, Tail can be chopped off, and the face and both the wings can be broken, this by all means does not mean it is weak when these parts are no longer part of the Wyvern. Weak against Dragon and Water.

Strengths: Has high Fire resistance, some lightning defense.

Fighting Tips: Like it's counterpart, it is a fire elemental Wyvern, but unlike it's counterpart, it stays on the ground more often letting you do more damage on it rather than chasing after it in every zone. The Rathian has a 3 shot move when it stays in the ground so this gives you a chance of getting good tail hits and also a good chance to knock off its fangs and calws. Also, the Rathian will charge at you more so you better have a good amount of stamina.

Predicting her moves: If it seems to be walking in place than there is a high chance it will run. If it turns around really quickly it will also have a high chance of running but also a chance that it will fly towards you, but if it turns slowly then there is a chance it will either shoot you, fly, or bite you. Shooting is the highest possibility. If you see it take 2 step backwards then you better get out of the way or else it'll do a backflip move where it will do critical damage on you and poison you.

Description: The Queen of all Wyverns, also known as the land Wyvern. This thing is a frightning creature to begginers especially if you come across it when all you were doing is gathering an egg. Rathian stays on the ground alot more than the Rathalos so you will have no trouble whatsoever of attacking it.

Carves: Rathian Scale, Shell, Claw, Webbing, Plate, Spike

More will be added when i finish the guides to the other monsters
