How to hunt Rathian
Hunters will need to maneuver carefully to avoid the potent venom in the Rathian's tail spikes and her wide attack range. By severing the tail, you can limit her reach and gain the upper hand. After breathing fire, the inside of the Rathian's mouth becomes tender, making it a prime target to strike.
Fire-breathing female wyverns known as the "Queens of the Land." Their powerful legs and venomous tails make them efficient ground hunters. At times, Rathian and Rathalos can be sighted hunting as a couple. After laying eggs, Rathian are extremely watchful of their nests. Proceed with extra caution, as a mother will move swiftly to protect her young.
