I dunno, I tend to get the impression the ecology videos often massively exaggerate a monster's abilities as well. I mean, let's look at Akantor. I could just say that all Akantor really has going for it is being able to dig and being well-armored;  its 'ultimate attack' is essentially just a really loud roar, and outside of the ecology video, it really doesn't show any amazing powers. Still the game canon says armies have tried and failed to stop it, so this is one of those occasions where we have to take the canon's word for it.

I apply the same logic to Fatalis: sure, gameplay wise he exhibits no particularly remarkable talents (besides a truckload of damage), but canon says it can make a Lao-Shan flee and destroy an entire region.
