Shi ryū

the shi ryu is a deadly brute wyvern of imense strength.

related loosley to the deviljoe the ryu is not as nomadic and resides in the dark forest.

there is a major problem about this wyvern for the guild though. it is known to be intelligent.

the ryu has been known to ambush and attack hunters and is as cunning as the yian garuga. it avoids traps and can only be caught in them when enraged and sidesteps hunters attacks before counter attacking. however you need not despair. the ryu may be extremely strong and cunning but it is succeptable to status effects more than any other monster.

the ryu is prized for its rare materials as it has a mane of spikes that are used as armour binding, this means that the guild sends vast parties of hunters to farm these creatures, however due to its strength only 2 out of 5 partys will succeed in success and only 1 out of 5 will kill it, however this is mainly considering average hunters and higher ranking hunters shall have more of a chance. the most notable characteristtic is size the female (seen below) is smaller and weaker with a small mane and small horns. the male however is far larger and has a tougher outer hide. the males have been noted to prey on herbivores more often than females. this may be due to them having a higher metabolism than females. the females are not hunted for their materials due to the males having higher quality body armour and larger spikes, there are far more females than males in existence.

the ryu has unique fangs capable of stagger effect, this lasts shorter than a normal stagger but gives a large opening for the creature to attack. however the true attack of this monster is its breath weapon.

the ryu eats fast amounts of minerals and from these minerals it gains a deadly attack. the parts of rock that are not used in improving its health and stregthening its digestion are stored in a second stomach, when threatened these are ejected with stomach acid which creates a toxic radioactive substance this detonates upon impact creating large explosions of about 10 feet round. however this attack must then be replenished by the ryu eating more minerals. breakable parts: thanks, hope it aint too powerful
