Fun fact - the one we fight in MH4U is probably just an average example of the species. In World, the area known as the Rotten Vale is host to a skeleton of an even larger Dalamadur, or a Dalamadur ancestor. It was so big and full of bioenergy (basically MH's answer to life force) that when it died, the bioenergy it released was potentially enough to make the ENTIRE NEW WORLD CONTINENT capable of supporting life.

After Dalamadur was discovered, there was no doubt that this subspecies likely existed as well." "Though they were once thought to exist only in legend, multiple sightings in the past few years have led many to fear Shah Dalamadur as an omen of grave things to come."

Shah Dalamadur is far more aggressive than Dalamadur due to it being in a sort of defenseless state after molting." "After molting, Shah Dalamadur has no control over its metabolism, meaning that its body temperature will constantly change. Its hide can repel most attacks while a part of its body is cold, but its hide is more vulnerable to attacks while it's heated up." "Although it's weaker to attacks while its body is heated up, it also gains a new ability. By either biting with its jaws or swiping its claws while they're hot and its metabolism is well-balanced, Shah Dalamadur can greatly heat up the ground and severely burn enemies alive." "While an individual is a Shah Dalamadur, it's considered to be one of the strongest monsters in the series. Shah Dalamadur's hide will harden over time, and it'll eventually become a normal Dalamadur once again as its metabolism stabilizes."

Just imagine a Dala siege in World... God that would be so incredibly awesome but I know it won't happen There's that one area in the new world with really high mountains it's on the map and in the background of some areas like the wasteland I believe it's where the great ravine is located So there would be a location But because we don't even have leviathans because the skeletons made problems and weren't working I don't believe in any way that we will get a giant snake
@@gameaddict1074 if it is a new MH for the Switch I'm screwed anyways because I can't afford a Switch So if they bring him back I won't be able to experience it except it's a MHW 2 or something like that
@@reallycantthinkofausername487if you're referring to fanon then there's literally nothing there that speaks about Fatalis beating Dalamadur, there's just some fanmade Fatalis variants and that's about it
As for who wins, imo it's like, way closer than fans of both monsters think it is, Dalamadur fans heavily underestimate/underanalyze most of the things Fatalis does (y know the real things he does not the myths) whereas Fatalis fans often bring up in-universe myths which mean nothing in a fight, so most times (monster) fan goes "Oh but (monster) claps (monster) no diff", while in reality both can pull off insane stuff casually, Fatalis is peak in the ranged+speed department with some melee+defende whereas Dalamadur is peak in the melee+defense department with some ranged+speed, both can kill eachother fairly quickly but it kinda depends on who lands the big blow first. As for the argument that Dalamadur has better ranged power than Fatalis due to his fire being blue on average, Dala's fire ain't fire at all, it's still hot tho, but I highly doubt it reaches Fatalis type of heat, considering his orange flame alone shows way more heat than literally any flame ever made irl can (hottest flame irl is almost 5000C, to melt a 1 meter thick steel gate under 10 seconds you need several times that, you don't even need to look at RageGamingVideos to understand that, and I wouldn't do that either considering I dislike that channel a lot), blue fire is definitely a major boost too. Imo both Fatalis and Dalamadur are monsters that should they get serious or should the game be 100% realistic, even considering hunters as superhumans, we would never kill them, Dalamadur would probably not even notice us, Fatalis' second ultimate attack, considering it does the following things: Stop a rainstorm completely, blow off a massive stone wall behind us before the fire even touches it, keep Fatalis afloat, melt several hundred tons of steel in a few seconds and send said steel flying once it has detached from the gate, yeah the wall behind us being completely destroyed by a shockwave from the attack would be enough to say that the rest of the arena wouldn't be in a good state either, I'd say outright destroyed, and the heat from the attack would also melt various parts of the arena. Realistically we would never be able to kill either of the 2 just because one is too tanky and the other has too much firepower
