Elder Dragons (Japanese 古龍種) are a class of monsters introduced in the first generation. These monsters are rare, powerful, and are sometimes even treated as deities by hunters within the Monster Hunter universe. Elder Dragons exhibit a wide variety of body types, the most common being a quadrupedal entity with a long tail and two wings. However, some Elder Dragons can possess Equine or even Cephalopodic features. This class includes monsters that are suited to any realm, be it land, sea or air. In addition, Elder Dragons can be found in almost any environment in the MH world, and are generally the most powerful monsters one can encounter in any given zone.
