Dire Miralis is an Elder_Dragon introduced in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

Dire Miralis is a very large, semi-aquatic Elder Dragon. Its body structure is reminiscent of Fatalis, with relatively short limbs and a long tail and neck. Its body is filled with a magma-like substance which pools at the base of the tail, the chest, and at each shoulder. Each of these pools directs magma flow to certain parts of the body. On its back are a pair of wing-like appendages. Seemingly useless in terms of flight, these "wings" feature cannon-like shoots which can extrude globules of magma, both as a means of defense and as a way to jettison excess magma. Dire Miralis's head features a frill-like structure and an upturned snout.

Dire Miralis is unique; it can shoot magma balls out of its highly specialized wing plates, which fly into the air and land explosively around the area. Dire Miralis can also be fought both on land and underwater, frequently changing between the two. It is known to use its massive, heavy tail to crush and smack opponents.

This monster is only known to be encountered in the Tainted Sea. Because of the massive amount of heat its body produces, it is likely that Dire Miralis requires this shallow sea to regulate body temperature and cool it off when it begins to overheat.
