Dragon

Dragons are fierce creatures, in Monster Hunter they and are only available to hunt after completing a substantial amount of the game.

A dragon is distinctive from a wyvern because of its four legs, they also tend to be stronger possessing higher stamina and health than most other creatures. Although most Dragons fly, a notable exception is the Lao-Shan-Shung, a dragon of titanic proportions that advances slowly on its four legs.

Unusually should a dragon be in serious danger, it is more likely to flee for its life rather than face death, and so in Monster Hunter some dragon hunts will force the player to fight the creature in a limited space of time, if not enough damage is inflicted before the end the Dragon will flee the scene. Although the hunter's will be victorious, they will be unable to carve their prize.
