Is there a legitimate reason?

Is there a legitimate reason why Gold Rathian's tail takes so long to cut? I was just wondering. Seems like the same nonsense as kushala's head only breaks when it's nearly dead, same with kirins horn.
Why do they do this with Gold Rathian's tail though? It's not an elder dragon.

i think her tail have like 20% of her total HP. but her tail is her main weapon, cuttig it make her a lot less dangerous, so it's normal it's hard to cut.

because it gives you an extra chance to get surspike which is needed for most weapons and since most of G.rathians weapons are considered the current meta before safi the developers thought to make it a but more challenging for us to get surspike, thats just my theory tho.

I noticed some time ago that you can't cut a Coral Pukei's tail of all things until it's at 20-30% HP.

I don't like fighting G Rathian so I don't know if it has an HP threshold, but she's pretty harmless without the tail, so it makes sense that you need to do a ton of damage to it before cutting.

She is not harmeless without her tail. You know pain comes from the other end as well right?

It feels as if the tail has a lot of HP almost 80%. We had tried cutting it before but kept failing until we simply focused on the tail and nothing else, even going so far as to avoid hitting any part of its body. It's extremely easy to kill gold rathian while going for its tail.

Go SwagAxe and ZSD the tail with partbreaker

What I theorize with the tail HP is that it's the main wpn of the monster, ie kirin horn for thunder, kushala horn for wind currents (at least it was in the older gens, idk about now), ruinergs' spikes for bleeding etc
