Astrian

Astrian is a Flying Wyvern first appearing in Monster Hunter Venture.

Physiology
Astrian has a very similar appearance to Astalos. This is because Astalos and Astrian are actually the males and females of the same species. The main differences between the two sexes lie in their color, behavior, crest, and tail. To contrast the emerald-green shell of the Astalos, Astrian has an ochre-colored shell, leading to its title of '''Ochre Electric Wyvern. '''Astrian also has broader wings than Astalos, and it flies more often. Its crest is trianglular, as opposed to the more curved crest of the Astalos. It also possesses a large paralyzing stinger at the tip of its tail, rather than a pincer.

Attacks
Astrian shares many of its attacks with Astalos, but it does have a few of its own.

Take Flight!: Astian is much more mobile in the air than its male counterpart, and flies around roughly as much as Rathalos does.

Sweeping Beam: While in the air, Astrian will place its tail on the ground and fire a beam of electricity. It will then sweep this beam horizontally in a semicircle to cover a wider range.

Furious Stinger: Astrian waves its tail around wildly while walking backwards, hoping to strike a hunter with its paralyzing stinger. Causes paralysis if it connects.

Lightning Speed: In a similar fashion to Seregios's flying kick, Astrian will perform a quick burst of speed while flying, skewering anything in front of it with its tail.

Spinning Volt: Its most powerful attack. Astrian will fly into the air before covering itself in electricity and spinning in place like a top, as bolts of electricity arc off from it in every direction.

Trivia

 * Astrian was meant to serve as a rival to Rathian, much like how Astalos serves as one to Rathalos.
 * Its crest shape is based on the Tupandactylus, while its coloration comes from the monarch butterfly.
