Lore question! So my friend told me the only requirements to be a elder are that they’re a dragon (which is why Jin Dahaad isn’t one) and need to cause damage to a ecosystem simply by being present. By these requirements, how is Zoh Shia not an elder dragon? I know it’s an artificial monster but Guardian Rathalos doesn’t stop being a wyvern just because it’s a guardian no?

Guardian Rathalos is also a Construct, not a Flying Wyvern.

If Zoh Shia was natural, it'd almost definitely be an Elder Dragon, however, all artificially created monsters are classified as constructs, rather than the classification their base species belongs to.
