• Story

Your journey begins in the lush forests near the village of Riders, where three young friends—the hero, Lilia, and Cheval—discover a glowing egg. Curious and playful, they perform a mock version of the Rite of Kinship… only to be shocked when it actually works!

The egg hatches, revealing a baby Rathalos—a majestic flying wyvern known as “the King of the Skies.” The trio lovingly names him “Ratha” and brings him back to the village to raise together.

However, peace doesn’t last long. One day, the village is attacked by a monstrous creature infected with “the Black Blight.” Though the villagers manage to drive it away, the attack leaves lasting emotional scars on both Cheval and Lilia.

A year later, the hero receives a Kinship Stone from the Village Chief and officially becomes a Rider. While Lilia and Cheval depart on separate paths, the hero teams up with the cheerful Navirou to begin a new journey across the world of hunters.

Experience a heartfelt tale filled with friendship, growth, and adventure in *Monster Hunter Stories*—where every bond forged shapes your destiny.
