However, it can inflict ‘’you’’ with the Muddy status effect, which is identical to the Snowman and Webbed status effects.

----
* BewareMyStingerTail: Magnamalo uses its tail as a spear for its attacks.
* CatlikeDragons: Resembles a cross between a tiger and an Eastern dragon.
* DragonsAreDemonic: It physically somewhat resembles an Eastern dragon, but behaves with the violence of a demon, to the point that the gas it exhales was dubbed "hellfire".
* {{Foil}}:
** Serves as one to all three of the PSP portable mascots. Like Zinogre, it's a yokai-inspired Fanged Wyvern in a Japanese-flavored title, [[LightningFireJuxtaposition but it seems to use fire rather than lightning]]. It has arm blades like Nargacuga, but it's styled more after a samurai while Nargacuga is more associated with ninjas due to its armor. And, like Tigrex, both are evocative of tigers, but Tigrex does so by name and color scheme, while Magnamalo does so by physique.
** To the Hunters of ''Rise'' as promotional materials have emphasized the Hunters, Palicoes, and Palamutes as {{Ninja}} while Magnamalo as a samurai.
** It's also this to Glavenus. While Glavenus has a tail themed after a sword, Magnamalo's is themed after a spear. Glavenus heats up its own tail as a form of making its own physical attacks stonger, while Magnamalo uses its hellfire gas as projectiles.
%%* HavingABlast: Its weapons give off the Blast element.
* HellFire: Although it's not explicitly supernatural, the superheated purple gas it spews is known to the hunters under the name "hellfire".
* HitodamaLight: The "Hellfire" gas it exhales emits an eerie purple glow intentonally reminiscent of ghostly lights.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A suitably dark and climactic piece known as "''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUvFQygEk0E Barbarous Beast]]''", which features both some traditional Eastern instruments and more conventional orchestral elements, with a side-order of [[OminousLatinChanting ominous chanting]].

* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Its antler-like horns and predilection for using its spear-shaped tail as a weapon bring to mind the famed samurai UsefulNotes/HondaTadakatsu.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Its color scheme is primarily a royal purple with even its flames matching it. Being a flagship monster, it's very powerful with characters in the trailers saying its name with [[TheDreaded great caution]].
* RedBaron: "Wyvern of Malice".
* {{Samurai}}: Its design is based on samurai with its face resembling a samurai helmet, having claws on its front legs shaped like serrated katana blades, and its tail can unfurl so it resembles a cross-blade spear. Its armor set, as to be expected, also evokes this.
* StatusBuff: Like the Astalos before it, it can supercharge its various body parts with hellfire gas to make their attacks stronger.
* PantheraAwesome: Its design is somewhat tiger-like, with its face resembling that of its real-world inspiration. Some of its movements are also based on those of tigers.
* PlayingWithFire: Magnamalo uses its hellfire gas as a way to attack, and can fling balls of this gas at targets.
* TechnicolorFire: The flames it uses to fight foes are a ghostly purple in color. They're inspired by ghost flames in depictions of possessed armor.

* PlayingWithFire: It can spew out streams of fire from its mandibles.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: With its unusual neck (unusual in that it's a spider that ''has a neck at all''), it seems to be influenced by the assassin spider, also known as the pelican spider. It counts as this InUniverse, too, since it's the first Temnoceran-class monster since Nerscylla.

* {{Samurai}}: Its design is based on samurai with its face resembling a samurai helmet, having claws on its front legs shaped like serrated katana blades, and its tail can unfurl so it resembles a cross-blade spear. Its armor set, as to be expected, also evokes this.
* StatusBuff: Like the Astalos before it, it can supercharge its various body parts with hellfire gas to make their attacks stronger.
* PantheraAwesome: Its design is somewhat tiger-like, with its face resembling that of its real-world inspiration. Some of its movements are also based on those of tigers.
* PlayingWithFire: Magnamalo uses its hellfire gas as a way to attack, and can fling balls of this gas at targets.
* TechnicolorFire: The flames it uses to fight foes are a ghostly purple in color. They're inspired by ghost flames in depictions of possessed armor.
* {{Yokai}}: Based on the {{Hitodama}}, a bright floating light that appears around ghosts. It's also based on ghostly samurai armor.

''Monster Hunter: Rise''-]
This long-necked Temnoceran wears webs over its body as a way to protect itself from attacks. When fighting foes, it can spit out silk to stop enemies in their tracks before following up with streams of fire from its mouth. In addition to this, it carries spiderlings called Rachnoids on its body, and can release them onto the battlefield to help it fight.
----
* AllWebbedUp: Like the Nerscylla and Ahtal-Ka before it, its webs can trap hunters in place.
* BadassPreacher: The Palico gear crafted from it resembles a bishop, with a book resembling a Bible serving as the weapon.
* FlunkyBoss: Throws baby spiders called Rachnoids at its foes mid-fight.
* GiantSpider: As a Temnoceran, it's naturally this.
* KingMook: Rakna-Kadaki is the adult version of the Rachnoids that crawl around both the monster and the Lava Caverns itself. It even uses them to add onto its own attacks in battle.
* PlayingWithFire: It can spew out streams of fire from its mandibles.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: With its unusual neck (unusual in that it's a spider that ''has a neck at all''), it seems to be influenced by the assassin spider, also known as the pelican spider. It counts as this InUniverse, too, since it's the first Temnoceran-class monster since Nerscylla.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To the Nerscylla, being a giant spider that covers its body in a certain material, boasts extendable appendages, and shoots webs at prey and foes alike.
* {{Yokai}}: Based on the TsuchigumoAndJorogumo. Its Japanese name "Yatsukadaki" is based on "Yatsukahagi," another name for the tsuchigumo, while the webbings on its body resemble a wedding gown as a reference to the jorogumo's name meaning "Binding Bride."

This strange freshwater Amphibian gulps up stones and gravel from the riverbed, expanding its size and augmenting its attacks.
----
* BigEater: In the Turf War with Arzuros, it tries to swallow the bear whole.
* DishingOutDirt: Its spits the dirt and rocks it swallows at hunters.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Resembles a cross between a frog, a turtle, a crocodile, and a platypus.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Its Turf War against Goss Harag goes very poorly, with Tetranodon getting bullied to the ground and receiving a vicious flurry of punches before it unloads all of the rock in its belly on Goss Harag and attempts to flee.
* StanceSystem: Its attacks are slower but more powerful when it has a full belly.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To the Tetsucabra, being a giant frog-like creature that launches rocks at foes and fights via sumo techniques.
* {{Yokai}}: Based on the {{Kappa}}.
