A '''[https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Rathalos Rathalos]''' is a type of flying {{wp|wyvern}}, from the ''{{wp|Monster Hunter}}'' series of games produced by [[Capcom]]. A Rathalos appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', both as an [[Assist Trophy]] and as a boss in both Classic Mode and the World of Light, the first to appear as both. It is one of the few third-party Assist Trophies without any playable fighters from their home series, with the others being [[Assist Trophy#Akira|Akira]], [[Bomberman]], and [[Assist Trophy#Shovel Knight|Shovel Knight]].

As an Assist Trophy, he can strike the opponent with his claws or breathe fire onto the stage. When he roars, nearby fighters may be stunned. In the boss fight for Rathalos, the player fights him on a flat plains stage resembling the [https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Ancestral_Steppe Ancestral Steppe] from the ''Monster Hunter'' series. He is fought in the final round in the Classic Mode routes for [[Yoshi]], [[Marth]], [[Duck Hunt]], and [[Piranha Plant]]. He is also fought in the Classic Mode route for [[Bowser]] and [[Hero]], albeit before the final round (with [[Mario]] and [[Metal Mario]] for the final battle for Bowser, and with [[Robin]] and a giant [[Charizard]] for the final battle for Hero).

In addition, ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' features a downloadable [[List of Mii Outfits|outfit]] and [[List of Mii Headgear|headgear]] based on the Rathalos for the [[Mii#Super Smash Bros. series|Mii Fighter]]. The outfit is titled Rathalos Mail, and the headgear is called Rathalos Helm. It was released for Wave 4 of the Mii costumes DLC.
