Araprey

Araprey
Araprey are raptorial bird wyvern minions related to Velociprey and Genprey. It has a strong link with the sun, as it uses solar energy to deliver powerful light-based attacks. Unlike other similar monsters, though, it posseses the ability to fly. Multiple Araprey swooping in on their prey to fire scorching beams of light is a common occurence. Since they have such a great link with light, they are never seen at night. They are very loyal to the leader of their pack- the Aradrome.

Biology
Araprey can produce powerful beams of light to aid in attacking. This power comes from their long, sharp claws which store up solar energy for later use. The energy is not only used for attacking, however. The heat energy encased within the claws can also keep the Araprey warm, meaning it can thrive in biomes from the Forest and Hills to the Tundra. It cannot live in volcanic areas, because the ash and soot that cover the sky obscure the solar energy that they need to live.

Behavior
Like almost all raptorial bird wyverns, Araprey are extremely loyal to their leader, the Aradrome. A single call from their leader and many Araprey will appear to defend their leader to the death. Araprey are surprisingly passive compared to their cousins- They will ignore humans who they do not perceive as a threat. This means that ordinary unarmed villagers and merchants are safe, but hunters will be attacked as normal.

Weapon Effectiveness
Araprey are weak to no element, but they are highly resistant to fire. They are also invunerable to paralysis.
