Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos

**Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos** are Deviants of Amaranth Astalos. Exceptionally dangerous, they bear natural hatred to all things who maintain a ruler-like dominance over anything, and seeks to destroy them so that it and other life can naturally take its course without a single being controlling it.

## Aesthetic Differences/Appearance

Pink tinted scales on body, larger claws beyond the size of those of a Boltreaver Astalos, sharper spikes on tail, larger crest, always charged with a faint pink tint to its red, and significantly larger than a standard Amaranth Astalos. When in its super charge state the red coloured parts caused by charge will turn pink.

## Explanation For Differences

Amaranth Astalos that have has a rough start to their lives, giving them the ideal never to be ruled over by any monster or anything. They have honed their Dragon Element Charge to be stronger and grown their claws to tear apart those to wish to control it.

## Behaviour

They only have one thing they abide by, they are only ruled by themselves, they and only they know what is best, nothing can order this thing around. Those who do will quickly know who they are. They are so set on rebelling against any rulers, that they don't back down from anything, even absurdly superior monsters like the Alatreon, Crimson Fatalis or even the fanon Dasamios. They are only set on keeping independence, and other than this they are naturally more aggressive than normal Amaranth Astalos.

## Mount

Roguerebel gets a unique mounting animation in an unusual twist. It will try to slash the hunter off its back and jumps several times, smashing the ground with its claw each time it does so. While able to be mounted on its head, it is even more difficult, as it will repeatedly try to knock off hunters with violent movements, which throws hunters off if they were smashed into a wall. And on the tail, it will try to twist it around in an attempt to knock the hunter into its pincers, if they are knocked off a second time they are grabbed by the pincers and thrown at another hunter or monster for a large amount of damage.

## Rage State

* **Enraged**: Will huff smoke from mouth and will enter full charge.

Unlike Boltreaver Astalos, it doesn't have a tired state.

## Introduction

**Down With Rulers!: Area 7 Volcano (Night): Roguerebel: G1**

In the ashened skies a dark red figure descends towards a spot that is basically a patch of rock, surrounded by lava. This dark red figure is none other than a Dreadking Rathalos, whose title says it all. Landing down on its rock it gives off a roar of ruler-ship to the small monsters there to which they all look to it, except some. Some small Apceros refuse to listen to the Dreadking's command and just back away. This draws the attention of a larger male Apceros who bellows at them to look at their ruler! Not wanting to listen to a monster from a different species they still refuse. And so, the Dreadking yells at a Rhenoplos to charge at them to show them what happens to those who defy the king. Before it reaches them, out of nowhere a ball of reddish pink dragon element strikes the Rhenoplos and sends it flying into a wall, killing it instantly. Dreadking gazes upon the Rhenoplos, but doesn't recognise a big threat. So, it yells at an Iodrome that entered the area to give them a taste of poison. At that point a large blast from the volcano covers the areas boundaries in ash, making it unseeable. Just like last time, as the Iodrome is about to leap onto one Apceros a thin pink energy blade passes through the smoke, going through the Iodrome in the process. It falls down in two severed pieces. This time the Dreadking realises there's a rebel around and fires an exploding rock at the area where the blade came from, clearing away the ashes and smoke, but no remains. It takes aloft and roars as a pink light come towards it above, getting larger and larger. The monsters there stare at the light as it descends at Dreadking at high speed. The instant the Flame Master notices the light, it hits it, smashing it into the hard stone below with a large burst of pink coloured dragon element. Smoke clears, and the Dreadking Rathalos lies dead in a single blow. Upon it, is its attacker, the Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos! It makes a harsh screech at the large Apceros, taunting it to attack it, to which it accepts. It comes running at the pink coloured wyvern as fast as it can, the claws of which gain a bright glow as it waits for the right time. As the Apceros reaches the Roguerebel, it is smashed by a fully charged slam from both of its wings, discharging a large shock that burns it right through. The pink glow on Roguerebel turns red as the charge has been used up. Then, it uses its claws to quickly cut open and eat from it to quench its hunger. Nothing in sight, the Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos makes a roar of victory over the Dreadking!

## Attacks

It uses all of the attacks used by Boltreaver Astalos.

* **These Wings Can Stop Flashes!**: Like with the Dreadking Rathalos, it cannot be Flash Bombed out of the sky until both of its wings are wounded.
* **Claw Swat**: With one of its claws it makes a quick swipe at hunters to mainly knock them away.
* **Crest Swipe And A Smash**: It will swipe once with its crest, then suddenly lift up a claw and smash hunters not expecting the combo.
* **Charge To The Dual Claw Slam**: Roguerebel does its charge as usual, but then as it reaches hunters it suddenly uses its Double Claw Slam attack on them.
* **Triple Draconball**: Roguerebel will first hop backwards as a spark forms in its mouth. Using the spark it fires three dragon lightning balls in the style of a Rathian.
* **Charged Draconball**: It holds a large spark in its mouth before dashing around in a turn towards a hunter and firing a large draconball at them. This one has a more unstable look to it, along with a more pinkish colour. When this particular ball strikes the ground, it will burst in an AOE like a Rath wyvernfire.
* **Turnaround Slam**: Roguerebel will look behind itself and raise the claw that is in the direction opposite to where its looking, left claw if looking right and right claw if looking left. With that claw it very quickly throws itself around and slams the claw in the area that was behind it beforehand.
* **Sonic Rock**: Its tail will pulse with a sonic bomb like spark and lifts it up and takes aloft and plows the tail into the ground, ripping out a rock from the ground. It inserts the dragon element into the rock before turning and flinging the rock at hunters with high speed. Upon impact the rock creates a sonic bomb like blast that causes hunters to be Stunned if they are hit by it.
* **Tail Snaps**: The tail snaps together rapidly like Seltas Queen, then Roguerebel will make swift steps backwards while widely swinging its tail with each swing ending in a snap of its tail.
* **Tail Sweeps**: Roguerebel sweeps its tail to its left and right in a Blos like style.
* **Tail Smash**: Roguerebel will flail its tail skywards as it looks at a hunter by its side as a spark curls around it. After that it will make a fast hop to turn itself to hunters and bring its tail down on them with great force. After the main smash a burst of dragon erupts from the hit area that will send hunters flying away.
* **Ground Rampage Smashes**: Unlike the normal Astaloses which can only do this attack from the air, Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos can preform this attack on the ground. It will look at hunters with a menacing glare with its claws ready for action, flailing rapidly. It will suddenly then make a leap forward and then violently pound the ground one claw after the other while still moving forward at a fast and long reaching speed.
* **Claw Scrape**: Seeing a hunter attacking at its wing it'll do this. It'll swing one of its claws under its head and swing it into the ground and does a wide arc scrape reaching near its leg, then tears it out of the ground with a quick upswing and moves it back into normal position.
* **Backflip Slam**: Roguerebel will raise its wings upwards as if about to do a Dual Claw Slam and look at a hunter behind it. It'll then use the tips of its claws to launch itself upwards and spin around midair to face hunters and plunge right down at them with both its claws.
* **Quick Turn Around**: Roguerebel will quickly turn around and fire a dragon lightning projectile at a hunter behind it.
* **Charged Bite**: Stands on its hidelegs for a second and charges a spark in its mouth then lunges and does a hard bite forward, creating a burst of dragon around its head.
* **Swing Bite**: Takes two steps in a direction and does a similar build up like its Charged Bite, but will instead do a sweeping bite that creates a burst of dragon like the Rathian Subspecies' Fire Bite.

#### When Charged

* **Claw Blades**: In some attacks that Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos does, a blade like energy will form on its claws that expands on range of attacks and is used for several new ones.
* **Claw Smash And Spin**: If it had a Claw Blade on it while a single Claw Smash was preformed, it may do this combo. After slamming it down, it will pick its blade back up and extend it to near double its length. Roguerebel then curves its wing like it was a sword and then uses that wing to spin itself around once with its blade, slicing through anything it touches. After it stops the blade fades away. This attack will upswing hunters.
* **Bladed Glide Smash**: Now when it does its glide smash attack used to reach hunters at a distance, its claws will have energy blades on them pointing right forward to stab them before it lands down.
* **Blade Stab**: Roguerebel will raise its claw with a blade formed on it and strike it into the ground like a sword piercing downwards.
* **Dual Blade Stab**: With both Claw Blades it makes a jump forward or backwards and strikes both blades down into hunters or the ground below.
* **Multi Blade Stab**: Using both Claw Blades, it shakes them first while looking at a hunter. After this it'll begin slowly walking towards them while stabbing with its blades one after the other in a style like Rustrazor Shogun Ceanataur. It'll then discard the blades after the attack.
* **Pink Slicers**: Should it have two Claw Blades on its claws it can do this attack. It will extend both blades to double their length, then make a defensive stance with them. Then, it will turn its head in a direction, suddenly letting rip a fierce spin slice in that direction with the claw facing that, then it'll slice in the opposite direction with its other claw and slide to a halt. The area sliced will leave a pink trail of wind.
* **Swatting To The Real Hit**: It will do its Claw Swat three times in a row, then runs forward, raises its wings up and does a Dual Claw Slam on the hunters.
* **Anti-Air Spheres**: While airborne it will gather up some dragon energy and fire it onto itself then spin. This creates four spheres of dragon that circle around it, which circle the Roguerebel for a few seconds, then fly upwards and explode. But, if hunters attempt to jump at Roguerebel or try a mounting attack, one of the spheres will fly at the hunter and send him/her flying away from Roguerebel.
* **Triple Charged Draconball**: Dragon lightning surges around its head to its mouth as it makes several steps backwards. Afterwards it will fire three Charged Draconball's in the style of Gold/Dreadqueen Rathian.
* **Airborne Tail Beam**: The tail is shook while behind Roguerebel, then it flung forward to fire a Dragon Tail Beam directly forward. This, unlike the normal version will send hunters flying away.
* **False Laser**: It will turn and place its tail on the ground like it is firing a Dragon Tail Beam before it quickly lifts up its tail again and fires the real laser. When it begins to fire the true laser, it won't just fire it where the hunter is at now but it will also spit three dragon projectiles on the ground, similar to Lagiacrus(4th Gen), that when the laser is fired it actually connects with all the balls, making it harder to predict where the laser may go. Once it fires the laser, it will quickly recover and fight normally.
* **Charge To Rampage Smashes**: It will begin its charge with its head tracking a hunter and nothing else seems to be different at this point. With a screech it bolts towards its targeted hunter with claws upwards. The Roguerebel then dashes across the ground while violently smashing its way through anything in its way.
* **Quadruple Claw Smashes**: When both of Roguerebel's wings are charged, it can do its claw smash attack up to four times in a row. It leaves less of an opening between each smash.
* **Triple Claw Smash To Dual Claw Smash**: It will quickly do two claw smashes, then a slower third one. Then it raises both claws and slams them down.
* **Super Claw Slam**: Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos will take a step to turn, then raise one of its claws upwards. The wing begins shaking as it keeps the claw in the position as dragon lightning surges around it, with Roguerebel still making small steps to turn. Surges turn into a single orb, then Roguerebel lunges either forward or by its side and slams the claw at great force. Lightning bursts from the impact in a large zone and sends out three bolts of dragon lightning from the left, right, and center to add to the AOE created by the slam. This will send hunters flying away further than usual.
* **Super Dual Claw Slam**: Roguerebel will clack its two claws together rapidly as they begin powering with dragon lightning. As they begin surging, it begins shaking its wings and makes several hard turns towards hunters, making running away in a direction to escape a hard task to do. Once both claws are glowing with an orb of dragon it makes a fast leap with slight tracking of hunters and smashes both claws downwards, creating a very large burst of dragon lightning from the impact. Five long bolts of dragon are also shot out of the burst, adding even more range to the already large attack. The burst part of this attack can one shot hunters if dragon resistance is low enough.
* **Claw Beams**: A signature attack by the Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos. With both claws with Claw Blades, it will make a short screech and begin shaking its wings to begin surging the blades with energy. Then, it'll jump back far and suddenly, the blades of energy turn into long beams, like the one used by the crest. It will first swing the beams backwards as they form along with its wings, which can hit hunters behind it near its foot. Then the beams form full size and pierce skyward, hitting anything that may be above it, hunters or monsters. Afterwards the main part occurs. It then brings the beams down in a arc with its wings, resulting in a wide reaching attack as the beams swing from skyward down in a semi circular path to near center. The two beams nearly touch each other in the ground center in front of the Roguerebel, then dissipate. This attack does very heavy damage and has large range thanks to the beams path. It can also do this attack when in the air too.
* **Spiral Claw Beams**: An airborne only exclusive version of the Claw Beams attack. It looks at a spot on the ground with quick flapping wings and creates Claw Blades with surging dragon lightning. As the beams generate the Roguerebel will hover over the spot and begin quickly spinning around in that spot, cutting up the ground in a spiral pattern with its beams, making the ground spark and crack with their power. After it is done the ground will be left sparking with dragon for ten seconds and cause damage to walk on.
* **Wall Slash**: If hunters are climbing on a wall, then Roguerebel can use a Claw Beam in spinning manoeuvre to either slash upwards or across to hit hunters there. The direction which it chooses depends on how the hunter is moving on the wall and where their positioned.
* **Cross Slice**: Roguerebel will begin creating its Claw Beams, then unusually cover itself with its wings like a bat. A second later it springs into action as it shows its face to see who to target. Its beams turn full size and then Roguerebel uncurls its wings in a X shaped swipe and flings its beams in a cross pattern that travels fast and far. Strangely enough, if the beams strike the ground they'll create a bright pink X cut where it hits and make a metallic sound.
* **Roguerebel's Psycho Crusher**: While airborne it can preform this powerful attack. Roguerebel will rocket to the the sky and hiss as an aura of dragon lightning begins to form around it. It will then just spin around repeatedly, aura intensifying as it does so. The spinning speed will progressively get faster along with the auras power. Once the aura reaches full power it creates a large spark and Roguerebel will suddenly dart towards a hunter extremely quickly while spiralling around just as fast like a draconic pink torpedo. Reaching the ground, it just smashes on it and continues on forward on the hunters tail like a drill, shredding the earth underneath it. During its assault it will tear the ground twice, and once a third tear occurs it will throw itself out of its spin and impact hard and strong with claws thrown forward. The blast from the impact is large, with a huge shockwave being created from the claws that can go quite a distance. This attack in all its stages will one shot hunters with low enough defence, or send them flying away quite a distance. It will also cause the Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos to lose its supercharge, reverting back to its red state.

### Rebellious Fury Mode

When Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos reaches 40% health it'll enter this special mode. It will fall backwards and place both its claws into the ground and begin to generate sparks all around it, as it is trying to break a restraint inside it, but is in fact beginning to let its powers take over itself. Strong winds will emit from it that push hunters back and sparks that rapidly decrease health. After the lightning has covered its body it will lower its head as a pink sphere covers the Roguerebel. This sphere shrinks and then suddenly it bursts, engulfing the surroundings in a bright pink glow, the Roguerebel stretches out its wings and emits a different, more harsher or savage sounding roar. As soon as the sphere is burst and the roar emits a large burst of pure energy emits from the Roguerebel's body, creating dragonwind and will send hunters too close flying away and inflicting them with Stunned. The Roguerebel now is entirely in pink, with large surges of dragon lightning surrounding each of the generating parts and with glowing eyes. The Roguerebel then jumps up and down in place while smashing its claws on the ground and emits a screech reminiscent of a electric explosion. Then the Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos returns to battle with its full power activated by rage and defiance alone.

#### Aesthetic Differences

All scales now have pink tint. When charged, violent surges of pink dragon element surround parts, huffs pink sparks and eyes leave a trail of pink light. Voice becomes more harsh. Gains an overall greater speed increase.

#### New Behavior

Now it will mainly target hunters who have armor from monsters known to either have a great title like several Deviants, or rule over other monsters, like the Teostra, Akantor and even pack leaders like the Iodrome. Hunters don't even need to have a full set, they just need one piece to become targeted for Roguerebel's fury.

#### New Attacks

* **Spark Shockwaves**: When its claws are ultracharged, every smash from them will create a instant shockwave of dragon lightning around the impact that expands the radius of its attacks.
* **Nothing Will Control Me!**: Mounts on Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos in this mode are very hard, as it, much like the HC Tetsucabra, will fight normally as if the hunter wasn't there, with each attack being counted as a "shake off" maneuver.
* **Paralysis Won't Freeze Me!**: Once in this mode, paralysis will make it slam its wings and tail on the ground rapidly like the HC Astalos charging up. This makes attacking it still difficult to do.
* **Deflecting Blades**: Whenever it has its blades up now in its ultracharged state, whenever it be just normal blade or beam, they will now deflect any sort of throw-able object away from it without damage, and it will also deflect Bowgun shots and arrows if being used for attack.
* **Projectile Throw**: If hunters try to evade its projectile attacks it can now do this. As the projectile is fired, Roguerebel will use its claw to grab it, then turns around either by steps or a jump and then throws the projectile from the claw at higher speed, trying to to let the projectile go to waste by a simple miss. This is mostly done with the draconball attack, but it can also be done using the charged version or the dragon twister.
* **Turn Beam**: It will stand upright and form a beam on the claw in the direction it is going to turn in and hold it in a sword like stance. Then, it swings the beam around in the direction it wants to turn in a wide slice to hopefully sever up a hunter that was in that direction right in half.
* **Double Cross Slice**: While preparing its original Cross Slice it will purposely over charge its beams, and fire the first cross prematurely. It jumps up and flings the full power second beams into the first ones as they race into the ground and make the ground rumble from its might. The ground then ruptures from its power and a Double X figure shines bright and clear for all! The cuts then eventually fade away to black, then the ground becomes normal again.
* **Wing Slice Leftovers**: Now whenever it uses this attack, a wall of dragon sparks will be left on the ground where the slice passed through. This wall will drain hunters health if they stand on it, and it lasts for around four seconds.
* **Triple Wing Slice**: It will rear back swing its wings forward twice at the hunter before hopping back. When it hops back, Roguerebel will quickly charge up its right wing and swing it forward, making it spin, turning Roguerebel in the opposite direction of the hunter.
* **Blade Fling**: If too far away from hunters or by random, it will fling its Claw Blades at hunters like a Shuriken to strike them from afar. This will actually send hunters flying away.
* **Hexatruple Claw Smash**: When Roguerebel's both claws are ultra charged it can do its claw smash up to six times in a row. It leaves an even greater less opening between each smash.
* **Tail Beam Sweep**: Its tail will be shaken wildly with a sphere on it. With it, it'll shoot a beam starting from the area next to its foot to the area next to its other foot in a fast arc sweep. It can be done in both directions, from left foot to right foot, or right foot to left foot.
* **Airborne Tail Beam Sweep**: Its tail is shaken wildly like with the ground version, only this time the beam is fired in an arc in front of itself. The range of the beam is varied, it can be just within slamming distance or far out. The way hunters can tell this is to look at how the tail is pointed and shaped, just slightly upwards for close range, and right forward for maximum range.
* **Sonic Sphere**: Roguerebel will hiss at hunters, letting them know that it's about to do something big. The tail emits a sonic pulse like with the Sonic Rock attack, but instead it will take off and plant the tail into the ground like with the AOE Tail Shock attack. It will then rip out a large rock with its tail and begin filling it with dragon element. So much dragon element is inserted into the rock, the solid material dissolves into a bright pink sphere with sonic pulses emitting from it. After going higher in the air it shoots the sphere from its tail like the Airborne Tail Beam and it quickly falls to the floor. The moment it hits, the sphere emits a large burst of sonic energy, ripping up the earth around it. The sphere will then remain on the ground for a few seconds, emitting sonic pulses that act the opposite way to the vortex sphere, it pushes hunters away instead of sucking them in. Should hunters go too close to the sphere, the pulses will send them flying away and leave them Stunned.
* **Projectile Time Bomb**: Roguerebel makes the start up for its Sonic Sphere, but midway through its hiss it makes a screech and hops backwards with a bolt from its tail deliberately aimed at its wings. It then takes off still with the bolt in full power and shoots a projectile up high. The bolt then travels to its head, where it shoots it at the projectile, giving it an aura that slowly closes in on the sphere as it falls to the ground. The sphere will not explode on impact, but the aura will continue closing in on the core and making it gradually brighter. It will continue to stay there until the aura has made the sphere into a piecing pink flare, then it finally explodes in a wide and high blast that does quite a bit of damage to hunters not keeping track.
* **Mega Dragon Twister**: It will prepare its Takeoff Twister with greater buildup at first, then shoot a spiralling ball on the ground and takes aloft. With a spin it sends a bolt of dragon lightning into the ball along with a gust of wind. This transforms it into a larger, more stronger form of the dragon twister that will then begin moving forward immediately to send hunters flying away like a small bug and do them heavy damage.
* **Claps Of The Roguerebel**: At the tips of its claws, surges glow bright and strong. With several waves of them it begins making clap like slams between both claws, creating wide zaps of dragon element around its claws and outwards. It can change direction after each clap.
* **Hunter Is In The Ball**: If a hunter is right near Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos preparing a Projectile Throw, then it will likely do this attack. It will fire the projectile and grab it, but then suddenly grab the hunter with the same claw that has the projectile and encase him/her in it. It will then hiss at that hunter and then throw the hunter in the projectile ball at another hunter, then glide in its direction if it didn't impact the wall or ground and swat it in the direction of yet another hunter. It'll do this for all hunters in the area, or swat the ball around three times in random directions if there isn't anyone else. Once done, it will swat the ball upwards and then rush up and smash it downwards into the ground into a electronic explosion. This can very well send hunters back to camp with an addition to the faint count.
* **Dragon And Fire**: After completing its Spiral Claw Beams attack it can now do this attack. It will let out a roar like screech with lightning all around it and dive right into the sparking ground with its claws, with the energy blades still formed. A burst of draconic fire erupts from the impact and the ground cracks as glowing spots appear at random around it that one by one erupt into pillars of draconic flame much like Frontier's HC Akantor. The pillars will upswing hunters will the main blast sends them flying away.
* **Projectile Nuke**: While in the air, it may do this attack. Bolts from its head, wings and tail all combine midair to form a large sphere of surging sparks. It will hold the sphere upwards for two seconds then fire it forwards. Once it hits the ground it will explode in a huge pink electronic explosion that creates smaller explosions around it. It not all over though, and the electronic explosions then suddenly erupt into pillars of draconic flame in the same pattern where the exploded in. This attack can combo hunters into fainting if they cannot time their knock down animations well enough.
* **Crest Beam's Rocks**: Both claws quickly lash out at the ground, then the crest forms its beam and plows into the ground instead of at hunters. The crest then buries into the cracked sparking earth and tears up three rocks sparking with dragon and flaming with fire element. These rocks can travel quite far and send hunters flying away if hit at their maximum speed.
* **Plan Of The Vortex**: The Roguerebel will step backwards with wings outstretched, sending bolts of dragon lightning front and center of it. Then the wings push inwards the created sphere and covers it up as it begins to take true form. A zap is heard and the wings fly outwards as the sphere turns into a Vortex Sphere and begins pulling in hunters in sight of the Roguerebel's gaze. It then places its tail in a rearing position like a scorpion to protect it, and moves its claws near the Vortex Sphere like a wizard looking into his magic crystal ball. Should a hunter be caught into the sphere they will not be sent flying away, but Roguerebel will use its claws to grab and electrocute the sphere and hunter intensely, sending out several moving bolts out of it that will send other hunters flying away if they walk into one. Once completely it will push away the remaining energy and send the affected hunter flying away in an arc then pummelling through the ground. If no hunters are trapped Roguerebel will make an angry screech and throw the sphere away forward to explode as a Charged Draconball. This attack can very well leave a trapped hunter doomed to a faint if others cannot stop it in time.
* **Call To Riot**: Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos will jump into the air and make a roar with a much more echo sound to it. It also creates a pink shockwave of wind that reaches the entire area Roguerebel is in. This roar will actually make all the small monsters in the area attack hunters relentlessly regardless of how far away they are from them or if they attacked them. Even after the monsters respawn they will still attack like they had heard the roar. The monsters will attack the hunters until Roguerebel leaves the area.
* **Rebel's Have No Use For The Weak!**: If a small monster is near death and next to the Roguerebel, it will impale them with one of its claws and then throw them hard at hunters while sparking with the pink dragon element. Upon impact they will explode, meaning hunters cannot get any carves from the monster used. How much damage the attack does depends on what monster was used.
* **Rebellious Spin**: Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos will make a harsh hiss, moving backwards into a right facing stance. Pink steam begins emitting from the surges as it charges its parts up for its next big attack. It will remain motionless for around three seconds, giving hunters the risky opportunity to attack it. The Roguerebel will slam the floor once with its claws and begin spinning in place at extreme speeds with its claws with beams and tail dragging through the ground and the head with a beam going through the ground as well. The immense amount of energy channelling through the ground makes it burst into pink lightning travelling in a tornado shape, along with several cracks spawning from the source that end in a pillar of draconic fire. Travelling at high enough speed for long enough, the Roguerebel rips itself out of the ground and erupts a wide blast of energy that still forms a tornado shape as the pink rebel wyvern spins more in the air. Roguerebel makes a roar like screech and slowly flaps back down to the ground. This attack can easily one shot hunters in several ways.
* **Death By The Electric Claw**: Without use of its Claw Blade, it will pierce the ground with its claw and fire a projectile into the pitfall created, then use its wings to turn it into a vortex. If a hunter manages to get sucked into the vortex in the pitfall, they'll become stuck and will suffer damage. But thats not all. The Roguerebel will then plant one of its claws on the trapped hunter and begin shocking him/her as well as creating an electric field around the Roguerebel to make it much harder for other hunters to help the one being electrocuted. The hunter will have to escape the hard way, as the pitfall prevents usage of Dung Bombs. After enough time has passed Roguerebel will quickly do a Super Claw Slam to catapult the hunter away and create a draconic fire pillar where the pitfall was. This attack can easily rack up massive damage on the trapped hunter and do significant damage to others.
* **Death By Lethal Stabbing**: In a way similar to the Death By The Electric Claw attack, it will pierce the ground with its tail and then fire a vortex sphere into the pitfall to suck hunters into it and trap them. Once trapped Roguerebel will take off and plant its tail into the hunter and begin spinning it like a drill. The whole tail surges with dragon lightning and creates spiralling bolts of lightning around the pitfall to prevent other hunters approaching it. Like with the Claw Blades, thrown or shot projectiles will be deflected away from the tail in this attack. The trapped hunter must escape before the Roguerebel finishes the attack by shooting a tail beam right at them to make the ground burst into draconic fire and catapult them away.
* **Died In Prison**: Should hunters health deplete to zero inside the Tail Prison, then it'll now do this. It will head to a part of an area with a high drop or a river of lava and simply flick the hunter into the lava or off the drop for an unavoidable faint. Hunters must either flinch Roguerebel or restore the ensnared hunter's health back to 50% to stop this attack. If the hunters health is above 50% again, then it'll fling the hunters away hard and land.
* **Roguerebel's True Fury**: Roguerebel Amaranth Astaloses ultimate attack, done only when near death. It will emit a lengthy roar like screech and overcharge itself with its power, forming a bright pink light all around it. In this state, it cannot even be approached in an attack or the hunters will be sent flying away. It forms its Claw Beams and begins the assault. It comes spinning at hunters and firstly slams its claws in a move like Massacre Demon Diablos to create a draconic burst, then rush up the beams to create two pillars of draconic fire by its sides. Then after proceeds to repeatedly jump and slash its beams down at hunters, which also creates bursts of fiery dragon element. Roguerebel then does a quick spin with its claw beams, which this time also sends out bolts far and wide. The area begins to fill with pinkish smoke and static and the Roguerebel jumps up and uses its Crest/Plasma Beam to first strike hunters, then below to create a hole in the earth. Then, it actually uses the building static to its advantage as it makes a track of where hunters are and then plants its tail into the created hole. This will create advancing walls of dragon lightning that will shockingly follow all the hunters in the area instead of in a circle. The tail is then ripped out of the ground to make a burst of draconic flame and it fires a beam off from the tail in a circle as a finisher. But it still isn't over yet! It then goes higher into the sky and fires four Charged Draconballs at the hunters one by one to completely and utterly cover the air above the area in smoke. Roguerebel then powers up again with a harsh screech and heads up into the smoke. All seems to quiet, except for a faint buzzing in the air along with a moving pink sphere of light in the smoke. The light will then move to a hunter, mainly the one who landed the latest hit on it and then gradually glow brighter as a screech draws closer and closer. Suddenly the smoke clear away from the light as Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos coming screeching right down at the hunter like a bomb, surrounded by a pink sphere aura. The grand finale to the attack comes as Roguerebel impacts into hunters with a giant explosion of sparking dragon lightning like in the intro where it targeted Dreadking Rathalos! Large pillars of draconic fire erupt all around the explosion for a few seconds rapidly. After this, Roguerebel will do the unthinkable, it will taunt. Its ultracharge state will be lost after this horrific attack, and have to be reactivated again. This attack can easily end quests in terrible failure if hunters aren't good enough to evade the Roguerebel's attacks, and a direct hit by its finisher is a certain one shot without super high defence or the Guts skill.
* **Last Defiance**: When the final hit is landed on Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos it will do this attack. It will make a howling screech as its energy begins to fail it. But, the Roguerebel will not go out just like that! Instead it will grip the ground hard as it gathers what energy it can around itself and stands upright. It emits a loud long screech as a huge burst of lightning in an orb shape bursts from its body and rushes around it as random bolts fly out from it to strike unaware hunters. This goes on for 6 seconds with the orb and bolts creating an unexpected threat for hunters who thought they had won. Then, the victory camera begins playing as Roguerebel, now without any sort of charge at all makes a weak roar and drops like a stone on the floor, dead instantly.
* **A Rebel's Final Attack**: There is a 2% chance of it doing this attack instead of the Last Defiance. Roguerebel will do the beginning animation of the standard Flying Wyvern death, but before it slouches over it will clutch downwards as a bright light forms it its chest. Roguerebel is trying to overpower itself as a final attack. It raises its head to the sky as the pink sphere aura forms, and makes a piercing wail. Crack like patterns form all over its body as it throws itself upwards and forwards at the hunter who delivered the killing blow, or the one who has the lowest HP if he/she left the area. As it hovers high above him/her the Roguerebel's chest and crack patterns glow brighter and brighter. Roguerebel then makes a long scream at the hunter and descends on him/her with great speed and power. The Roguerebel's body is now engulfed in surges, and half a second before it reaches the ground, a loud snap is heard as the chest breaks with a piecing glow. Instantly upon hitting the ground or hunter, the Roguerebel explodes in a terrifying huge blinding electronic explosion! The usual draconic fire pillars spawn all around the radius of the blast. When the light clears... only a pink steaming crater is left to tell of the Roguerebel Amaranth Astaloses existence! The Roguerebel has blown itself up in its last attempt to kill its attackers rather than simply die. This attack although not a ruthless combo attack like the True Fury, its explosion is large enough to hit all hunters in the area if they don't do a simple thing, run or leave. The main targeted hunter if hit will, unlike the True Fury attack, instantly faint without Guts or Felyne Moxie in a special animation that simply has them disintegrate into thin air without any camera change. This final attack can easily cause hunters to fail the quest they worked so hard to complete, only for this to wipe them all out in a single blast.

## Trivia

* Shockingly, despite its colour Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos are male just like any other Astalos.
	+ This was unintentionally made to show that pink isn't only for females, at the request of certain users here. And also because pink isn't perceived as a colour of power by many.
* It was made pink because Amaranth is a shade of red with a pink tint, and it being purely pink was the next step.
* The decision to give it energy blades for its claws was made because two energy blades are better than one!
* Its Rebellious Fury Mode was added to help make it more unique from the Boltreaver Astalos, as well as give a way to make it truly a worthy battle.
* At one point, Chaoarren wanted to have Roguerebel kill a Cantios in its intro instead of a Dreadking Rathalos to show its hatred for masters.
	+ This was scrapped because Chaoarren thought he had added Cantios in enough creations and wanted to avoid reusing it to the point of annoyance.
* This Deviant is feared by many hunters in the Guild due to its ferocity, smartness, and brutal battle style.
* Roguerebel Amaranth Astalos has been said to be in the area if one can see pink spheres in the place.
* Sources claim that some have even managed to kill some of the Elder Dragons and powerful monsters mentioned in the Behaviour section.
* In quests with a monster with a ruler-like title or status it will actually attack them.
