Dendastroth

Physiology
Large, white Snake Wyverns with black stripes that inhabit areas of high-altitudes where it can easily obtain its primary source of self-defense, electricity which it can combine with the creation of massive winds. Their slender and smooth bodies stop themselves from falling to their own electrocution. The grey, shiny spikes on their backs are natural lightning rods: increasing chances of getting hit by lightning during thunderstorms. They cannot dig into thick ground but they can slither and travel at almost literal lightning speeds.

Behavior
The Dendastroth often migrate to various high-altitude locations where thunderstorms are more frequently occurring which makes the Highlands and the Gorge a big hotspot. They aren't very territorial due to their migratory nature and usually tend to avoid provocating other monsters unless ravenous or defensive but when provoked, they're completely merciless to their opponent.
