Gore Magala

Goa Magara Discussion

A monster first introduced in Monster Hunter 4. Currently, very little is known about it.



In the new TGS trailer, it is shown that Goa Magara uses a new Dark element/status ailment called the Dragon virus. Details of this are unclear, but it seems to waft from Goa Magara's wings. It has two horns that erect when enraged, exposing a glowing purple patch of skin underneath. Since Goa Magara inhabits dark areas, this could be an adaption for living in low-light areas.

Trivia

 * When enraged, Goa Magara's facial features change as two horns protrude outwards.
 * Goa Magara has some common features of an Elder Dragon. In particular, having six limbs, including the wings on its back. It also has some features in common with the more advanced pseudo-wyverns and, like Nargacuga, some of its scales, notably the ones on its wings, have turned into a fur-like substance.
 * The purple coloured patch where its eyes should be resemble the patches on a Gigginox.
 * This is probably the Goa Magara's way of "seeing".
 * According to the latest info from the MH4 site, Goa Magara sees its prey by their body heat, similar to the Gigginox.
