Some scientists have noticed that nature’s cold force is making its way to the Frost Islands. Velkhana, the elusive elder dragon who started as the main demon Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, has been spotted by the scouts of the Elgado outpost. This monster’s gracefully cool demeanor foreshadows the serene calmness of the many creatures frozen in its wake. By glaciating the ambient water in the air, Velkhana is able to form large columns of ice when engaged in combat, and can immobilize even the most hot-headed hunters. The winds of winter often bring tidings of fall, and the arrival of Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax proves this statement true.
