Berkyulos

Berkyulos is a powerful flying wyvern that was previously reported to inhabit the Mezeporta region, but has now started to appear in the New World.

Physiology
Berkyulos typically have a green coloration, yellow manes, peg-like spines on their backs and tails, and most strikingly, two long whips on the backs of their wings with hooked ends, both of which rival the length of their own tails.

Behavior
Very much unlike many flying wyverns, Berkyulos spend almost all of their time in the air, only landing if they are forcefully knocked down. Even when having to fly down low, they still hover mere inches above the ground with short wing flaps. They are also extremely intelligent, being able to learn and adapt to their opponents as time goes by. They aggressively defend their territory, much like Rathalos.

Abilities
Berkyulos have a near unrivaled control of electricity. They can shoot a linear beam from their mouth, much like Rajang. They can also use electricity to guard itself, and add it to their physical attacks. Of particular note is their "whips", which they can lash at hunters, and even send electric pulses through them.

Rage and Tired States

 * Enraged
 * Mane turns red
 * Huffs electricity


 * Tired
 * Drools and stays still, wing flaps slow down
 * Is more susceptible to falling out of the air.

Calm
Berkyulos shares many physical attacks with other flying wyverns, with the additions of it's own unique ones.
 * Wing Strike: The Berkyulos will flap it's wings directly in front of it, the whips on the end increasing the range of the attack.
 * Electro Glide: Much like Alatreon, the Berkyulos will wreathe itself in electricity and glide straight into a target. Inflicts Thunderblight.
 * Volt Slam: The Berkyulos will slam it's tail onto the ground, sending three electric balls surging across the ground in a fan-shaped radius. These balls will inflict Paralysis.
 * Shocking Tailspin: When on the ground, the traditional flying wyvern double tail spin has the addition of electric pulses emanating from the tail. Inflicts Thunderblight.
 * Thunder Whip: The Berkyulos will swing a wing towards a target, causing the whip to drag along the ground, creating a line of electricity along the ground. Inflicts Thunderblight,
 * Claw Pulse: The Berkyulos will claw the ground from the air, creating a circular field of electricity where it hit. Inflicts Thunderblight.
 * Whiplash Pulse: The Berkyulos will strike the ground with both of it's whips, and send an electric pulse through each of them that bursts at the end. Inflicts Paralysis.
 * Lightning Beam: The Berkyulos will shoot a beam of lightning from the air and weave it from side to side while flying forward, much like Teostra and Kushala Daora's breath attacks. Inflicts Thunderblight.
 * Do a Barrel Roll: The Berkyulos will wreathe itself in electricity and rush forward while rapidly spinning it's body, much like Legiana. Often used as a followup when a target is paralyzed.
 * Crashing Shockwave: The Berkyulos will rise into the air, wreathe itself in electricity, and slam it's whole body onto the ground, creating a large AOE blast of Thunder. Inflicts Thunderblight.

Enraged

 * Getting Serious: It can now combo many of it's attacks. These include a double Thunder Whip, multiple Claw Pulses used in succession, three Volt Slams instead of one, and an electrified Wing Strike.
 * Adaptation: Depending on the weapon being used, the Berkyulos can now use specific attacks aimed to exploit the weaknesses of each weapon.
 * For Greatsword and Longsword users, it can use a stationary shockwave around itself, similar to Khezu.
 * For Dual Blades and Sword and Shield Uses, it will shoot balls of electricity that weave around the battlefield.
 * For Switch Axe and Charge Blade users, it will kick the target with it's claws, inflicting paralysis.
 * For Hammer and Hunting Horn users, it will shield it's head with electricity, preventing it from being knocked out for the time that it's protected.
 * For Lance and Gunlance users, it will perform a quick headbutt. If this attack is blocked, it will follow it up with an electrified whip slam.
 * For Insect Glaive users, many of its attacks will now paralyze the Kinsect, preventing it from being launched to gather extract until it wears off.
 * For Heavy Bowgun, Light Bowgun, and Bow users, it will use short bursts of it's electrical beam, making it difficult for them to stand still and aim.
 * Indiana Jones: The Berkyulos will perform two whip strikes, followed by an electrified slam with both whips.
 * Dance of Thunder: The Berkyulos will let out a distinct shriek, and then perform a combo of a Wing Strike, Volt Slam, two Thunder Whips, a Barrel Roll, and finally, a Crashing Shockwave.
 * Fatal Overload: Only usable when at less than 5% of it's HP is remaining, and it's head, wings, and back are broken. It will fall to it's knees as electricity begins to surge around it's body. It raises it's head to the sky and let's out a wail of agony as it's power overwhelms it, and a massive explosion of Thunder emanates from it's body, dealing massive damage to anyone who is unfortunate enough to be near it. The Berkyulos will die afterwards.

Breaks

 * Head
 * Wings
 * Wing Whips
 * Back
 * Tail Severed
 * Breaking the Back, Wings, and Head will give it access to the Fatal Overload attack.

Trivia

 * This is a revamp of Berukyurosu, a monster from Frontier.
 * Berukyurosu in specific was chosen by TakaTheHunter due to it being a very unique monster that isn't too over the top, like other monsters in Frontier.
 * This page was inspired by TheElusiveOne's New World revamp of Espinas, another Frontier monster.
 * The bizarre nicknames are references to certain fans' disappointed labelings of monsters, like Velkhana being called "Ice Kushala" upon it's initial reveal.
