Taxonomy
Order: Saurischia - Suborder: Wyvern Feet - Infraorder: Blade Scale Wyvern - Superfamily: Flying Wyvern - Family: Regios - Species: Metallic Seregios

Metallic Seregios is a Subspecies of Seregios which is classified as a Flying Wyvern. It is unknown what makes it different from their standard relatives but they have been seen feeding on ores, which is what possibly gives it its metallic scales.

Habitat Range
Like their relatives, Metallic Seregios can be found in a variety of different environments such as the Dunes, Everwood, Heaven's Mount, Sunken Hollow, Volcanic Hollow, Frozen Seaway and Ancestral Steppe. They are also considered an invasive species and are very adaptable.

Ecological Niche
This Seregios Subspecies is a recently discovered Wyvern though it most likely shares the same ecological role as its cousin: powerful, territorial and highly aggressive predators. Common prey for the wyverns include Apceros, Gargwa, Slagtoth, Rhenoplos, and Aptonoth. Other monsters such as Blue Yian Kut-Ku, Seltas, Kecha Wacha, and Gendrome can be preyed upon as well. Metallic Seregios competes with predators such as Rathalos, Rathian, Brachydios, Tidal Najarala, Deviljho, Gore Magala, Nibelsnarf and Tigerstripe Zamtrios. However, these creatures would do well to avoid a Metallic Seregios at all cost.

Bioloigcal Adaptations
Metallic Seregios possesses the same adaptations as its gold relative except more enhanced. It can launch its blade scale with deadly accuracy, utilize the thick, sturdy blade-like horns on their heads, and their blade-scaled covered tails in combat. Metallic Seregios is highly adept in aerial combat, able to do even more difficult maneuvers than the Kushala Daora.

Behavior
Metallic Seregios is a highly-developed aerial hunter. It is fierce and aggressive towards both prey and foes alike. It is known to attempt to overtake the territories of other monsters, and asserts an apex role over its environment. Once a territory is gained by a Metallic Seregios, it will mark its territory with its own scales. If it loses its territory, it will either search for a new one or steal one from another large predatory monster.
