    - Rathalos, at least in MHW, comes in two types. There's the regular red version, and a blue Azure version that specializes far more towards aerial maneuvers (will spend almost the entire fight in mid-air unless you find ways to knock it out of the sky).
    - Rathian comes in green and pink variants.

    That said, I think it'd be nice if eventually, we got the green/pink/azure variants of the mount too. Azure especially has a very nice hue of blue.
    Theres actually other variants of Rathalos from other Monster Hunter games! You have Dreadking and Silver Rathalos which are even stronger than Azure itself. Honestly I'm happy that at the very least the mount came out beautifully, would have been nice to get a unique rathalos animation command for it but the quality is good enough on that end, especially when you consider how sad looking the armor is in MH terms.

    Oh yeah. Having seen the Rathalos armor for myself in MHW, I am actually quite disappointed that the armor didn't exactly make its way to FFXIV. It would have been quite unique. It's fairly bulky, but still highly functional and IMO it wouldn't even look weird on casters at all (the Azure variant of the armor is actually very good intermediate archer gear for crit draw builds until you're able to assemble the decorations on other armor sets instead).

    Most importantly, it's wildly different from most outfits in FFXIV, I can't even think of anything that compares.
