Elder Dragons can also be afflicted by the Qurio, but these monsters are able to overcome it and enter a Risen state. In the Risen state, they gain an orange coloration and gain new moves and stronger attacks.

Elder Dragon Characteristics

Traps Don't Work

Pitfall and Shock Traps do not affect Elder Dragons. This is important especially for hunters using Palicoes with Trap Skills as it may be necessary to swap to a different Palico specifically for Elder Dragons.

Status Ailments Have No Effect For Some

Depending on the Elder Dragon, status ailments have virtually no effect against them with some being more susceptible. Before any hunt, try checking your Hunter's Notes for details about the Elder Dragon to help you prepare!

In regards to the Magalas, they can't be part of the cause of the Rampages. It has already been stated that they have been caused by Narwa and Ibushi, and if the idea is the Magalas are linked to the Rampages via the Apex monsters, it's stated they are "crowned" as Apex because they are stronger than the normal versions. In order for the Magalas to be linked there'd not only have to be the frenzy itself present, but also the Apexes would have to exhale the frenzy themselves, which they don't.
