Lunastra is a medium sized, blue-tinted, female gender of the Teostra. They commonly live in high cool towers, and hot regions like the volcanoes. Lunastra has also been spotted in the desert by few hunters.
[edit] Battle
Lunastra, and their male version Teostra, are unique monsters because they actually use their Flame Sac to produce a fire breathing effect, rather than just a beam or a fireball, and they can still pounce on you even when they are affected by Flash Bombs. The Lunastra can produce a highly flammable powder and, by using its wings, spread it across the air. It then gnashes its teeth to create a spark, which then causes the powder around itself to ignite and explode. The explosions have random range, they can be either close, decently away or very far away from where she's standing, but if the sparks are yellow then the flames will be close and if the sparks are orange, then the flames will be far. They are weakest to dragon-based weapons. To prevent Lunastra from using her fire aura ever again, you must break her horns. Inflicting any kind of ailment also temporarily disables her fire aura. Poisoning her is the best way to get her down, because the poison not only disables the barrier for a minute but also damages her. Another way to make her fire aura stop is by throwing a Flash Bomb. If you smash Lunastra's head then you can get a Lunastra Horn in your reward screen.
In MHF2, after slaying a Lunastra, the old peddler woman will give you a Biography of the Hero of Jumbo, which can be used to craft a one handed sword. The Lunastra is stronger then it`s male version but has weaker attacks. In general, though, its moves are almost exactly the same as the Teostra. See Teostra for battle tips. Or try practicing with Kushala Daora, as they share most moves.

A Brutal Female Elder Dragon, with breath of flame and expert control over fire. It is said that this control comes from the crown-like horns, but this has not been confirmed.
[edit] Trivia
- Lunastra is not available in Guild Quests, they are only in village quests.
- G rank Lunastra armor is obtainable, it requires high rank Lunastra materials, and g rank teostra materials.
- The effect of her flame barrier can be nullified by wearing an armor with the skill called Terrain Damage Negate, for example: Lava X and Kusha X. (G-rank)
- Like Teostra and Kushala Daora, when Lunastra is poisoned, its flame aura will disappear temporarily.
- When you see red powder around her, she will bite, and have explosions within a short range of her. When you see yellow things above her, she will bite and the explosions will have a larger range than the red ones, this can be evaded by getting either far away or standing very close to her (exelent chance to hit her).
- Making her flinch and fall will stop her flame aura for a little while.
- When you break her horns her fire aura will permanently be stopped.
- Breaking her wings and cutting off her tail only stop her aura for a while, but breaking her horns will stop her aura permenantly.
- Any armour with the terrain damage negate skill is helpful as her fire aura is classed as terrain damage
