Gypifrage

The Gypifrage is a Bird Wyvern that mostly inhabits mountainous areas, searching for prey. Their aggressive nature and large population can be a cause for concern for hunters and travelers alike. Their large, scythe-like claws can easily pierce through weaker armor. The Gypifrage makes its first appearance in Monster Hunter: Wyvern Instincts.



Physiology
The Gypifrage heavily resembles a bearded vulture in terms of physical appearance. It has somewhat poofy white and grey feathers on its head, neck, and legs. It has a medium sized, dark grey beak as well. Its back and wings are a black color, with its chest being white with black spots. It stands in a similar stance to Hypnocatrice. It has a feathery, white and black tail. The Gypifrage's most notable feature is its large, curved claws that it sinks into its prey with ease.

Behavior
The Gypifrage is aggressive and will attack most other creatures. It tries to avoid larger monsters however. They aren't uncommon monsters, as they breed quite often. Usually if there is one around, a larger population is likely to be nearby. They nest in large communities, and usually if one needs to be slain, it'll result in more being targeted. They mostly feed on large herbivores, but they have been known to commonly take down and eat Goavis as well.

Abilities
Gypifrage mostly uses its large claws to attack. These claws can easily cause the hunter to bleed, even in tough armor. Should the opponent be too tough for its claws, the Gypifrage has a corrosive spit that can soften up its prey's armor and allow its claws to pierce much easier. They mostly do dive bomb type attacks, and jump around quite frequently as well, slash with their claws all the while.
