1) Dire Miralis, baby! Come on, guys, Miralis might not be a very realistic beast as far as Monster Hunter is concerned, but his design is kickass and about ten times better than Fatalis' design.

2) Fatalis. I get what they were trying to go for - the classic castle-destroying, princess-eating, treasure-hoarding dragon - but still, making him look like a slithering black iguana isn't a very good idea.

3) If this were real life, I'd wet myself if I met Fatalis eye-to-eye, and probably die of fear if I met Dire Miralis.

As it is, only Dire Miralis and White Fatalis sort of scare me.

4) All of them.

5) Uh... they're fought in the Monster Hunter series, so I'll go with 'yes'.

6) No, for two separate reasons. If I were given the option in real life, then I'd turn it down for fear of what the equipment would do to me. If I were given the option in the game, I would still turn it down, because I bet it's a huge pain to collect enough materials.

7) My friend, I'm glad that Jaggis aren't real.

8) A variant of Whitey would probably be so godly that mortals couldn't bear to gaze upon it without having their eyes burnt out of their sockets. I'm imagining a huge dragon-shaped pillar of light that lands upon the top of the Tower, spreads its wings, and creates a blinding illumination that could be seen from outer space.

I like imagining a Dire Miralis variant made entirely out of lava. No, not solid lava, but actual runny molten rock in the shape of a dragon - a primordial force of nature that has been awakened by human activity and crawls its way out of the Earth's core to bring everything back to its original state. (I've clearly been playing too much Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.)

9) Let's see... a few fireballs there, a flamethrower attack over there, and maybe a few tail swings down there... and voila! Instant buffet!

10) No.

But if they teamed up to create an omnipotent four-dragon army, then yes.

11) Maybe one that lives in the darkest depths of the ocean? We could call it the Pelagic Miralis or something.
