Classification | Fanged Beast |
The Flagship Monster Of Monster Hunter Rise

Magnamalo is a new monster in Monster Hunter Rise, taking center stage in the game's story. Hailed as the "flagship monster", this beast can no doubt be regarded as the symbol of the latest entry in the MH series. It will likely play a special role within the game, and it seems to also be able to inflict a special new type of status condition.

Magnamalo - Battle Strategy Speculation
Attacks With Its Tail?

In the trailer we saw the Magnamalo's tail grow purple and fly towards the Tobi Kadachi. We're not sure exactly how it will make use of its tail to attack, but it's clear that it will play a part in this monster's attack patterns.
Seems To Have A Powerful Bite

In the 2nd trailer for the game, we got a glimpse of the Magnamalo clenching an Arzuros in its jaws. Given that it can do that to an already fairly large monster like the Azuros, we can only assume that the Magnamalo has an absolutely terrifying bite.
Likely To Have Dragon Elemental Affinity
Magnamalo seems to constantly be surrounded by an odd purple light and other will-o-wisp like creatures. Judging from this coloration, we're tempted to say that this monster will be use the Dragon element. It's also possible that it will have a unique status condition to inflict upon players as well!
Glimpse Of Magnamalo Armor?

In the promotional image for the longsword, we got a glimpse of some armor that could potentially come from Magnamalo! It's difficult to determine exactly, but the color combination seems to match that of Monster Hunter Rise's flagship monster.
