To be honest, it doesn't make any sense that a monster that "evolved from Gypceros" (sic) can be a Flying Wyvern for several reasons.

First, it has the same ancestor as Gypceros so it can only be a Bird Wyvern in the end unless it evolved so differently that it may be in a new class but it wouldn't be a Flying Wyvern but another class not determined yet.

Second, if it is closely related to Gypceros it cannot be that different to be put into another class.

Third, only because it looks similar to a Rathalos doesn't mean it's related to Rathalos, it would be a case of Convergent Evolution (I'm sure you heard of this term). It can only be related to Rathalos if it has a common ancestor but it doesn't as it has a common ancestor with Gypceros.

Fourth, if you consider the evolution of Wyvern in MH history (I'm referring to the official ecology books and similar books) we know both Bird and Flying Wyverns descended from dinosaurs, but not in a too closely related strain but two different strains. It cannot be descended from Bird Wyverns and become a Flying Wyvern even in MH-typical standards.

Fifth, the statement "It partly evolved from Gypceros." is wrongly put as they either have common ancestors or Gypceros would be extinct or completely different by now not being the form from which Tiger Lanterak descended from. Furthermore, how can something "partly" evolve from something?

In the end this messes up how evolution works. Please correct it.
