Phrynoceros

Phyrnoceros is a species of Flying Wyvern that has an uncanny resemblance to a tree situated in the Old Swamp. It can be fought in High-Rank as an urgent quest in order to participate in G-Rank quests.

Physiology
Phrynoceros is covered in a hard, leathery coated skin that resembles a dead leaf. Its underbelly is coated with sharp, dark scales that are very weak. It has a spiked, horned face that is nearly charcoal black at the tips. It has a sail on its back that has black lines going down. Its wings are brush like, and not very hard. its tail is shaped like a leaf, and is short.

Abilities
Phrynoceros has a short yet sour arsenal of abilities. It can break loose parts off of itself to fling them at the hunter, and can cause the bleeding ailment. It does this similar to that of a Seregios. It can emit the soiled ailment by flapping its wings once. Its most deadliest attack is its dragon breath, where it crouches, and then leaps into the air, and blasts the beam onto the ground. It can do this straight, sideways, and upwards.

Habitat
Phyrnoceros has a straightfoward life in many forests, due to its nature to camouflage and capture prey in its territory. It is mostly found in the Flooded Forest and Old Swamp due to its coloration, but can be seen in the Jurassic Frontier, Forest and Hills, and the Primal Forest rarely during mating season.

Behavior
It has a strange yet unique behavior among wyverns, and is very similar to the Elder Dragon Chameleos. During hunting, it will take residence in a large area of trees, or the canopy, and hang its vine-like tongue for anything to bite on. Once an innocent Kelbi or Mosswine takes a bite of it, the tongue will then drag the poor animal into the Phrynoceros's mouth. A tasty morsel do the Wyvern itself. During mating season, it will turn into a brighter color, and would try to impress the females with a swaying motion of its sail.

Intro
The Hunter enters the area, and starts to look around. Around him are tons of vines around the area. The vines are a sickly green, and are hanged in many positions, and only a few are hanging down. The trees are dull and grey as usual, but two seem to have been brought down by force. The Hunter comes towards these treeas, and notice large scratch marks on them. He then gets up and stares at the ground. Two large foot prints lead to one big tree. The Hunter, who walks towards it with his hand steady on the weapon starts to stare at the tree. Nothing there.
 * Old Swamp: Area 4: The Demonic Leaf

The Hunter looks up at the tree, and see nothing. The Camera then pans to the front of the hunter, and down comes a vine, this time slimy and brown. The hunter, then takes his hand off his weapon and walks away, only to bump into the vine, which then, with horrific speed, speeds off to the tree. The Hunter, who is surprised, looks to the canopy. There lies the Phrynoceros, who stares at the Hunter with seemingly hungry eyes. The Hunter runs away, only to trip on a vine, which is really now, more apparently the tongue. The Hunter then turns around, now in stance, to the Phrynoceros, which is now on the Ground. The battle then begins.
