Editing Monster Hunter (section)

====Black Dragons====
Black Dragons (also known as Dangerous First-class Monsters or Forbidden Monsters) are a group of monsters we know almost nothing about, and that's (usually) intentional. In World, [[Inquisition|some strange people]] harass a researcher pal of yours to make them destroy the data they got from you recently fighting one such Black Dragon. <s>Perhaps the Guild isn't as benevolent as it seems-</s> {{FWIP}}

What we do know is that they have a wide range of extremely powerful abilities, unlike their [[Chromatic Dragon#Black Dragon|Dungeons & Dragons counterparts]]. They also have an unnatural presence that makes other monsters shit bricks whenever they're around.
*'''Fatalis''' - the OG black dragon, and consistently cited as the strongest monster of the series (one having wiped out the kingdom of Schrade and claimed its castle as its own in a single night). Compared to most other monsters, it's the only one that actually resembles a traditional Western dragon in both form and powers. It also really, ''really'' hates humans. To the point [[Grimdark|it mocks hunters by using its immense body heat to melt them and their gear down into belly armor for itself]], and that gear made from it carries the hatred of the being it came from beyond the grave. So yeah, wearing Fatalis armor is a great way to lose those [[sanity|sanity points]]. Tl;dr: basically the setting's [[Tiamat]], except without the extra heads and focusing on fuck-off-hot fire.
**A Fatalis who has lived far longer than any recorded history are known for their pale white hide and mastery of their emotions. They become as focused as lightning striking the ground, their powers take on a new electric form far stronger than anything the other incarnations could do. This "White Fatalis" is legendary amongst hunters, if such a thing even still exists…
*'''Alatreon''' - It wishes it was the [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Avatar]] of monsters, but unfortunately it is unable to control his state, resulting in the walking disaster we see. This Black Dragon utilizes all of the elemental blights present in the games while also being a large dragon with a destructive temper. Notably had a large difficulty spike in its World incarnation, with there now being an elemental DPS check in breaking its horns to prevent Eschaton Judgement from [[TPK|wiping your]] [[Exterminatus|hunting party]].
*'''Dire Miralis''' - A fuckhueg dragon that, like Zorah Magdaros, is a living volcano. Judging from the name and body structure, likely a splinter species from the original Fatalis line. Its wings shoot flaming rocks. It's semi-aquatic, playing into Tri's underwater combat gimmick, since it needs to use water to cool down from the massive amount of fiery heat it generates.
*'''Xeno'jiva/Safi'jiva''' - More accurately described as a [[Chromatic Dragon#Red Dragon|Red Dragon]], but they're powerful enough that the Guild shoves them in the same category anyway. Xeno'jiva is an alien-looking motherfucker that's the infant form of the more traditional-looking Safi'jiva. Both are [[Blood Ravens|fucking energy thieves]] that siphon the energy of living things around them, and as such are considered an extreme threat to any ecosystem. Safi'jiva in particular can use said energy to TPK your hunting party if you interrupt its crag-creating attacks too much (since you need said crags to avoid being wiped).
**To drive home how unnatural and dangerous this thing is, it's theorized - in universe, mind you - that Zorah Magdaros beelining to the Elder's Recess in World is because it senses Xeno'jiva siphoning energy to hatch and was going to prematurely detonate to kill it at the expense of the New World. Yeah. A fucking Kaiju was going to suicide bomb it and the New World as an entire landmass' worth of ecosystem getting fucked over was preferable to an immature Safi'jiva being allowed to live.
