Phantom Lododera

Phantom Lododera is a Subspecies of the Bird Wyvern Lododera, currently not introduced into Monster Hunter. They can be encountered in High Rank and above, in most areas, and are most prominently found in the Old Swamp.

Physiology
Phantom Lododera are slightly larger than their black counterparts, and have purple streaks across their carapace. They also exude iron dust from their beaks without being enraged.

Abilities
Phantom Lododera now harness a more powerful magnetic field, and on top of Repulsion (which significantly slow a hunter's attacks), may physically pull a hunter towards them to initiate a painful stomp attack.

They are now fully surrounded by a cloud of iron dust (black; orange-red when enraged), and may direct them as a projectile toward several hunters at once, or simply shred any hunters inside the cloud. While within the cloud, hunters also experience Darkness, and have their visibility reduced.

This cloud can be temporally dispersed with a Sonic Bomb, although this does not affect the Phantom Lododera in any way.

Behavior
Phantom Lododera, compared to their counterparts, have a more elusive attack strategy, and will draw hunters, predator or prey into their magnetic particle clouds, blinding them before charging in from a random direction. They also have significantly better control over their innate magnetic fields, and can more accurately locate prey, and physically pull hunters or smaller wyvern encroaching on their territories.

Trivia

 * The descriptor "Phantom" was chosen because this Wyvern tends to rely more on stealth than outright charging of the hunters, in contrast to their counterparts.
 * While they exude a large field of influence with their iron dust clouds, they can really only control a radius of about 10m by 10m. The rest is merely to blind the hunter.
 * Hunters with the Goggles Armor Skill are completely immune to the Darkness effect caused by the dust clouds.
 * When enraged, being hit by the iron dust projectiles will Poison the Hunter.
