User blog:DrackTheHunter/Elder Dragon/Dragon Element Theory Blog

Yes, I know about the theory blog. I just had ALOT of stuff to post so I figured it would be best to make a blog out of it rather than a small comment. If I&apos;m breaking any rules with this, I&apos;m sorry. Now my thoughts:

Elder Dragons
As we all know, Elder Dragons are the strangest of all monsters in the MH universe. The all the only vertabrate animals with six limbs (4 arms/legs, 2 wings), they are more intelligent than other monsters, have the most notable connection to the Dragon Element (I&apos;ll discuss more later on), some seem to defy the laws of nature, and others just cannot be grouped in any other class. So far we have been unable to classify where these animals exist in the MH evolutionary tree (assuming one exists). After some deep, deep, DEEP thought, I think I may have an idea where these stange animals may fit in. Are you ready for it?


 * Drum Roll

I believe that all Elder Dragons (NOT including Kirin and Yama) evolved from order we know as leviathans.

Now before you go all hammer super charge on me at least look at my observations. BTW yes I&apos;m proposing that Amatsu, Lao, Ceadeus, Jhen, Ravi, Fatalis, and true Elders are all related, and one observation might not cover all of them but they should by the end

Observations:
1. Anatomy 2. Habitat/Lifestyle
 * ​All Levithans walk on all fours, so do Lao, Fatalis (Sometimes), Kushala, Teo, Luna, Chameleos, Ruko, and Ala
 * Their bone structure both and stances seem rather similar, even if only slightly (Ex: Ludroth stands on its hind legs for some attacks, Fatalis and Lao will also stand on their hinds for periods of time.
 * Both primarly have slender sepentine like bodies (or in Ravi&apos;s case completely serpentine)
 * Common physical traits (Lagia&amp;Chameleos &gt;Hood on neck, Agnaktor, Ruko, Ravi, Amatasu &gt; Sail like fins (Development into wings?)
 * Amatsumagatsuchi (Missing link?)
 * Ceadeus and Jhen&apos;s bodies are 100% built for swiming. Would make sense that they would evolve from amphibian creatures.
 * Lagiacrus has been know to flee if it feels on the verge of death
 * Levithans are know to untilize their environments and the weather to thier advantage, Elder Dragons can sometimes control these things.
