Things you may not know about Raviente(Info comes from wikiwiki.jp, atwiki.jp, Pike, mhfo.wikiwiki.jp)

Firstly, the island Raviente lives on, Geyser Islands, appeared during underwater volcanic activity and was made from the volcanos. From this volcanic activity, it awakened Raviente from sleeping all those years(This sort of sounds familiar in MH4). Those islands were home to many different monsters until this.

As far as things go there is no known legends or documents of Raviente so like Alatreon, its completely unknown.

Raviente seems to have some traces of limbs left.

Its unknown what class Raviente goes into. From the recent Snake Wyvern class, many fans think it could be one, though there are a few manner differences. The Guild knows for sure it isn't an Elder Dragon because its blood is quite different from Elder Dragons.

Raviente's true size is unknown but right now it and Dara Amadyura are said to be the largest monsters.

Just by moving/slithering it can actually cause an earthquake. Their scales alone can cut hunters just by moving them while also having the ability to produce powerful blasts of fire, electrical shocks, and exploding powder. They use their tusk to burrow underground and also use their own environment to their advantage like Shanthien in the Volcano.

Raviente's roar can be heard from miles.

Raviente can move quite fast despite their size and can even travel quite fast in forest areas.

The Guild usually would just let four hunters hunt a monster but with Raviente being so dangerous and big, they allow more than 16 hunters to hunt a Raviente usually. In some cases more hunters are required to hunt one.

Raviente is a gluttony. It literally ate most of the life on those islands until there was nothing left for it to feed on. From this it became extremely hungry and became the Violent Raviente/Violent Period Raviente.

The Violent Period Raviente is a normal Raviente that has turned violent due to extreme starvation. Blood gives Raviente its reddish color, a special blood changes it to its white color from the blood becoming redder than usual.

From this Raviente being very aggressive and driven by hunger, the Guild allows up to 32 hunters to hunt a Violent Period Raviente.

Raviente's blood is strong enough to fight most if not all status aliments that can poison it.

Their skin is quite thin but very hard and they actually lack a shell.

The fins on the side of its head are its wings though they aren't used to fly.

The bone marrow is protected by powerful bones inside Raviente and are said to have unknown materials inside them.

Its tusk and tail are huge and are very heavy to carry. Its teeth hard and tough like many ores/minerals.
