Coyotehi

Coyotehi is a coyote-like Fanged Wyverns that live in hot habitats, usually being deserts.

Physiology
Coyotehi is a Fanged Wyvern of similar body shape to Odogaron. They possess tan, smooth scales that line their body. They possess large ears similar to that of a fennec fox and a rather narrow snout filled with jagged fangs. A line of maroon-colored fur runs from its back to its tail. Their front claws are laced with hard, grey, flint-like structures that almost resemble gauntlets. These structures are then covered in a highly flammable substance.

Cutscenes
Location : Torrid Wasteland, Area 5

Synopsis : The hunter enters Area 5. Almost immediately, a Barroth comes barreling at them, forcing them to dodge. The Barroth quickly recovers and roars at its foe: a Coyotehi. The Barroth charges, only for the Fanged Wyvern to dodge and bite the Barroth's tail. The Barroth roars in pain and quickly headbutts the Coyotehi. Coyotehi flinches and then starts to scrape one of its front claws against the wall. After a few scrapes, the claw bursts into flames. The Coyotehi promptly swipes it's burning claw at Barroth's face, who promptly flinches and trips. After a few seconds of flailing, the Barroth gets up and runs off. The Coyotehi growls as the Brute Wyvern rushes off before turning their attention to the hunter. The hunter gets up as the Coyotehi roars at them and the hunt begins.

Abilities
Coyotehi is amazingly agile and has great hearing. Coyotehi's defining traits are the structures on their claws. These structures have similar properties to flint. This, combined with the flammable substance covering them, means that Coyotehi can set its claws on fire.

Ecological Niche
Coyotehi is a fierce predator that sits firmly in the middle of the food chain. They feed on herbivores such as Apceros, Kestodon, and Kelbi. However, due to their place on the food chain, they are prey for many other monsters.

Biological Adaptations
Coyotehi's most notable adaptation is the flint-like structures adorning their claws. This structure is laced with a special liquid that's highly flammable. They can scrape these structures against other structures in order to ignite this fluid, leaving their claws in flames. When under immense stress, Coyotehi can produce more of this fluid.
