Teostra

Teostra is a male Elder Dragon introduced in Monster Hunter 2. This monster is most often found in hot areas such as the Desert and the Volcano, but have been known to venture into the Swamp also, in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite they are susceptible to be appearing in Town. Teostra is capable of producing a dangerous fire aura that deals constant damage over time to hunters standing nearby. Unlike Rathalos, Rathian, Gravios or any other fire wyvern, Teostra emits a life flame, resembling a flamethrower-like attack.



Teostra's control over the Fire Element is speculated to come from his two curved horns. The relationship between the two is unclear, but a hunter can permanently disable the monster's ability to produce a fire aura if he/she can manage to destroy them. As part of a sexually dimorphic species, Teostra is the male counterpart to the Lunastra, though the two are rarely seen together.
