That'd make an awesome cutscene, admittedly. You see the shadow hovering over the hunter and think it's a Rathalos - and then poof!

You're right, an octopus would work. I think I'm going to work with my Flying Wyvern idea, though, and make it its own monster. (As long as you're alright with me stealing your idea and twisting it.)
