User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-5043481-20121102124845

I am going to attempt to tackle a big one here. How does amatsu stay in the air?

Firstly, there are many things we can rule out.

1: Amatsu could not use magnetic repultion against the earths (or whatever planet MH is on) magnetic feild, simply because it is too weak. Also, magnets balanced in this way tend to be unstable, either flipping over and attracting to the other, or just falling off. Those magnetic levitation things have a base full of carefully arranged magnets to keep it up.

2: amatsu does not use mechanical means (flapping, proppellers, jet engines etc) as the downdraft would knock any hunter back. Also, he does not have jet boosters or flap his wings.

My theory is that amatsu ionises the air above it, creating a voltage between the air above and the ground. To equal the charge, the air above moves down to the ground. Lightning flashes result from this as well, in a sudden release of charge. This happens over a wide area, so no extreme downdraught results. So amatsu is creating its own magnet from air, and is pulling itself up to the ionised air above it. As it is ionised, electrical storms result. As amatsu is pulling the air down, air rushes in from the sides, bringing moisture and rain.

Anyway, what do you think???
