Two New Beasts for Monster Hunter 4 - Rathalos and Zinogre

The latest Monster Hunter 4 update has revealed two fearsome new beasts: Rathalos and Zinogre.

Rathalos is known as the "King of the Sky", using a huge burst of speed to home in on hapless hunters below through ferocious flames. The tip of the tail also carries poison, which makes it rather tricky to find a point of attack.

Zinogre is crowned "Thunder Dragon", using both lightning and thunder whilst swiping at foes with its devastating claws. Sometimes this beast can also summon lightning bugs from the environment to boost its strength, with attacks that have the potential to destroy approaching hunters with ease.

Monster Hunter 4 is due out in Japan on 14th September, 2013.
