Sneaking His Way into the Multiverse (RWBY Jaune, WC-lite mechanics)

The Food, the Mantles, the clutch claw could pair very nicely with rocket boosts. A suite of elemental weapons, potions that will fully heal a person and even increase their maximum health. Scoutfly lanterns, maybe even Kinsects. Jaune's not restricted to MH weapon limits. Shit, almost every consumable is amazing in mh. Cure poisons, lay traps that will paralyze enormous monsters, Demondrugs and armordrugs and dash potions... It's all fantastic.

And the New World guild as a whole are the most hard working, balls to the wall, endlessly positive support anyone could ask for. They'll be teaching Jaune more in a day than beacon would in a year. They'll be teaching Lisa how to be his handler. They're a perfect support group on this quest for power.
 
I wonder which power scale interpretation this is? The one we see in game, or in lore? Cause in certain interpretations of the lore regular tank shells from our world should bounce off of even the least monsters hide.

I don't It's that but it's still something to think about.
 
I would definitely put a Rathalos down as a lesser threat than the Hellkite. Hellkite's larger and capable of sustaining a longer lasting stream of fire over a larger area than Rathalos. On the other hand, that's assuming that it's just a Rathalos, and not also a Rathian. That would very quickly make the Hellkite seem like a cakewalk in comparison.
 
What's a Rathalos? Or a a Rathian for the matter? I mean I can guess from the context that they are monsters of some sort but what are they? Dinosaurs?
 
Holy shit, Monster Hunter, let's gooooo!!!! Man, MH being my favorite game series, I really wish the instance could be longer than one day. Sadge
 
They're one of the flagship monsters of monster hunter. Rathalos being a male, and Rathian a female, of the same species. They're a flying Wyvern - the forelegs are wings; the back legs are proper legs; Scaled like any wyvern. They both breathe fire, and have venomous stingers in their long tails. Typically, Rathians like to fight on the ground, biting and poisoning, while Rathians like to hover and burn. They both enjoy calling their mate to help them when they bite off more than they can chew, though. They're about the size of a bus, or thereabouts? 17m long, about 5 tall, about twenty meters wide with their wings out. The claws are about 50cm long, or about a foot and a half long in freedom units.

In short, fire breathing, poisonous, flying, sharp, tough bastards. And there's always two of em.

Edit: Rathians have poison tails, Rathalos has poisonous talons*

Rathalos and Rathians are the male and female variants of the Rath wyvern respectively. They're not too massive (think a little bigger than a T. Rex) but they come with a whole lot of unique adaptations that make them pretty damn dangerous, especially in a pair. There's a lot to Raths that would take ages to explain, but the gist of it is this (MonHun bros correct me if I get anything wrong):

Rathalos -> Males; adapted best for flight, and as such typically have large wings and smaller legs (this is not the case for the New World Rathalos, the native to the area Jaune and Lisa currently find themselves in. These have beefy legs); their feet and talons are similar to those of falcons/hawks, so they can grip and slash at prey with them.

Rathian -> Females; adapted best for the ground, and as such have thicker legs but smaller wings. They're also equipped with venomous barbs and the like that run down the lengths of their bodies. Rathalos lack this feature.
