Okay, I need to point some things out to you.

First off, I find it unlikely the alatreon could absorb magnetism, since magnetism is an unharnessable energy, unlike electricity or radiation. Even if it could absorb magnetism, how would it convert it into electricity? Frozen hydrogen (or some other such gas) can be used to generate both electricity and magnetism, but converting them into each other is currently implausible.

Second, the alatreon doesn't create storms to make it's giant icicles. It breathes ice particles into the air. This is where magnetism may come in. Since the ice particles can't simply come together of their own accord in the air, they would have to have either a strong gravitational pull towards each other or having become magnetized to form the icicles. The alatreon could do this using a combination of one or even two organs; one to freeze the water in it's breathe and the other the magnetize it. The reason this works is because the particles come together quickly enough to form a mass too large to evaporate immeadiatly.

Another thing, alatreon doesn't use any water attacks. If it did, the water would simply evaporate before it could do any sort of damage, other than giving you a nice cool breeze of water vapor.

Third, it spits giant fireballs just like rathalos or rathian. This doesn't require the use of magma beneath the ground. The magma spires that shoot up from the ground are just side affects of the alatreon's thunder strike while flying. To breathe fire (or more accurately spit fire) would just require a special organ, probably well more developed than a rathalos or rathians'.

For dragon attacks I can't come up with a theory at the moment because they defy the conventional use of the rest of ala's attacks (same goes for jho). At the moment I'll just have to agree with you on your theory.

I can't say much about alatreon's evolution since there are so many elder dragons that have very similar body structures, pther than that I think it evolved from kushala daora or an ancestor, since their vocal sounds are very similar.

Just one last thing. An uragaan's lower jaw was specially developed to do just as you said; to crush smaller, annoying beings such as hunters. This is not because uragaan ancestors thought it a good idea to slap their chins on the ground with about 300 tons of power with absolutely no protection to crush a pesky rhenoplos.
