Maichornaw

The Maichornaw is a flying minion monster about the size of a small Aptonoth. They appear in the Monster Hunter Destiny expansion pack, "MHD: Double Cross!". Because of their symbiotic relationship with the near-sighted Sobekulos, they can be found wherever the leviathan is found.

English: Maichornaw

Japanese: Maikorunasu

Latin: Mimiprolificum magnus

In-Game Information
These noisy bird wyverns follow the Sobekulos, alerting them to the presence of prey and feasting on the leftovers in return. Although helpful, their annoying banter will occasionally make the Sobekulos chase them off in anger. They can mimic the human voice.

Basic Information
Monster Class: Bird Wyvern

Weakness: Fire

Element: none

Status Ailments: Stun

Habitats: Old Swamp, Old Jungle, Desert, Swamp, Flooded Forest, Primal Forest, Everwood, Ancient Forest, Wet Rainforest, White Lake

Behavior:
 * Attack anything that attacks the Sobekulos
 * Repeat messages used in the in-game chat
 * Their cries will sometimes cause Sobekulos to become enraged

Physiology and Behavior
These monsters are colorful Bird Wyverns that greatly resemble large parrots. They are always found in flocks. Although they can eat a wide variety of foods, they prefer to scavenge from the Sobekulos. Brave individuals will even pick morsels out from between the Sobekulos' teeth. Because of their partnership, they will relentlessly attack creatures that threaten their crocodilian neighbor.

With Sobekulos
Whenever these monsters are present, you can be sure that a Sobekulos is somewhere on the map. They are a tremendous annoyance when fighting the Sobekulos on land, often swooping down to knock hunters off their feet. To make matters worse, when the Sobekulos is in the same area, they will continuously spawn for as long as it remains, making it impossible to get rid of them.

Their most annoying feature, though, is their ability to mimic the messages that appear in the in-game chat. When a hunter sends a message (for example "I'm going to set a trap!"), one or more Maichornaws will call out in their obnoxiously-loud voices ("BRAAAAK! I'M GOING TO SET A TRAP!"). This will alert the Sobekulos, which will then go after the hunter that sent the message.

The Maichornaw is the only monster that takes advantage of the in-game chat.
