Amber Lunactian
Claw Swing: Quickly lunges forward with its arms raised and slashes downwards with them. Can be used on the ground or in the air.

Aerial Claw Hook: Only when in the air, hisses and raises a claw, then swiftly turns around in the air while slashing with it.

Proboscis Jab: Swiftly unfurls its proboscis to smack anything in front of it. The Amber Lunactian will then pounce on the target, spear it with its proboscis, and proceed to drain it of blood. Can be used on the ground or in the air. (Pin)

Flying Impale: Only when in the air, does a backwards aerial somersault, hovers with its horn at the ready, then zips forward at great speed. When enraged, it will make a U-turn and then do another.

Poison Shot: Rears up with claws high in the air and displays its abdomen, then shoots three globs of toxic mucus in quick succession which remain on the ground for a short amount of time. If the Amber Lunactian is male, the mucus will be purple and hemotoxic, and if female, the mucus will be yellow and neurotoxic. Can be used on the ground or in the air. (Poison if male, Paralysis if female)

Upward Spiral: Only when in the air, the Amber Lunactian will fly high into the air, then dive down toward the ground before suddenly arcing up into the sky while spinning.

Dust Cloud: Rears up and flaps its wings furiously, creating a cloud of bright orange dust that floats forward at a fast pace before disappearing a few seconds later. (Fireblight)

Roar: Ducks its head while shivering its antennae, then rears its head and claws up and emits a sonic screech. Can be blocked with High-Grade Earplugs.
