The secret boss of Sunbreak, Gaismagorm, is a new elder dragon introduced to the Monster Hunter franchise. Explosive and absolutely massive, this monster certainly did not disappoint as the ultimate boss of Sunbreak's storyline.
Gaismagorm: Weakness and Drops
The evolved Gore Magala returns as Shagaru Magala! A far cry from its original form, Shagaru Magala is covered in glittering scales with massive rainbow-like wings.

Malzeno was announced as the flagship monster of the Sunbreak expansion. Malzeno was also revealed to be an Elder Dragon, inspired by vampires in western mythology.
Malzeno: Weakness and Drops
The flagship Elder Dragon from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne makes a triumphant return in Sunbreak via a Title Update! It is known to summon ice pillars and can freeze enemies like a popsicle so be careful!
Amatsu, the Looming Calamity, makes its return in Sunbreak's Free Title Update 5 as the returning Elder Dragon. Prepare to face the storm itself with its torrential water attacks and lightning strikes!
This variant of Malzeno is its knightly form before being affected by the Qurio. It fights elegantly with its wings and tail, but its behavior changes once the Qurio are involved. It is the final monster released in Sunbreak.
Primordial Malzeno: Weakness and Drops
Valstrax was the flagship monster of MHGU, and Crimson Glow Valstrax is a variant of that monster. Equipped with new moves, Crimson Glow Valstrax is sure to delight new and old fans alike in Update 3.0.
How to Beat Crimson Glow Valstrax
Once Update 3.0 dropped, hunters that were HR50 and above were presented with a new quest that requires them slay Narwa the Allmother once and for all!

Thunder Serpent Narwa, Ibushi's mate and queen, is the second Elder Dragon encountered in Monster Hunter Rise as of version 1.1.2. Experienced hunters will attempt to quell Narwa's thunderous rage in the final Gathering Hub ★7 Quest, Serpent Goddess of Thunder.

Chameleos is the first to be announced in a trifecta of Elder Dragons that arrived in the first free title update (Update 2.0) of Monster Hunter Rise last April 28. This dragon's favorite pastime is to turn invisible and steal Spiribird Pollens from hunters! We are looking forward to its return since MHGU!
Challenge this Elder Dragon in the ★7 Quest, Ancient Illusion once you've reached HR 20!
How to Beat Chameleos
Kushala Daora arrived in the first free title update (Update 2.0) of Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise) last April 28! The chilling winds of Kushala Daora can throw off hunters who dare go near its gusts!
Challenge this Elder Dragon in the ★7 Quest, The Steely Storm once you've reached HR 30!
How to Beat Kushala Daora
Teostra has arrived together with Chameleos and Kushala Daora in the first free title update (Update 2.0) of Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise) last April 28. Be careful of its explosive Supernova Attack that can one-shot hunters caught in its radius.
Challenge this Elder Dragon in the ★7 Quest, The Emperor of Flame once you've reached HR 40!
How to Beat Teostra
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.
Sunbreak introduces Risen Chameleos, Risen Kushala Daora, Risen Teostra, Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax, and Risen Shagaru Magala as Risen Elder Dragons that can be slain.
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.
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.
