Corax

The Corax is a Bird Wyvern inhabiting many abandoned structures.

Description
Entirely covered in black feathers and scales, with sharp claws and a strong and long beak also black in color, it has dark-blue eyes, it has a short, almost vestigial tail that can't be used for much.

This monster lives, hunts and nests in abandoned structures, such as the towers, temples and castles of old, they are nocturnal predators, using their completely black body to hide, they attack viciously with their claws, beak, legs and wings.

Some specimens have been infected with XEV, but they don't show any difference from the normal Corax, thus they aren't considered V-Speed even though there is an extraterrestrial variable in their lives.

Corax are known to have a rivalry with Zarthas and subspecies, when they spot each other it ends in a deathmatch, both being even in power.

Abilities
The Corax are very agile, managing speeds that can surpass Gypceros while running, they are able to attack suddenly without making their presence known, it is said that their neck can move so fast it can peck with extreme force in less than a second.

While it doesn't have any internal organs that give it elemental abilities, they can use the natural power of other monsters by feeding on their corpses, but only elemental or ailment abilities of said monster, such as fire if it feeds on a rathalos. It can also receive abilities by eating plants, but it will attempt to kill another monster instead if that's an option, by feeding on XEV infected plants it can also carry the XEV and infect the ecosystem and enemy hunters.

Attacks
During XEV infections all physical and breath attacks can induce XEV infection, Thunder and Paralyzis energy bombs are the only exception. Enraged and G-Rank to be done.
 * Peck, Bite, Etc: Common attacks for Bird & Flying wyverns.
