Citrapo

Citrapo is a kakapo-like Bird Wyvern that is found exclusively in island habitats. It has a diet heavy in citrus fruit, and can spit sour fruit juice at enemies to blind them.

Physiology
Citrapo superficially resembles a kakapo, being a rotund parrot with a large, grey beak, small, grey legs with large feet, and whisker-like feathers surrounding its beak. However, it shares some traits with typical wyverns, such as small, bat-like wings, a scaly, whip-like tail, and a scaly body. Feathers cover the entirety of its body save for its stomach and tail. Its skin is yellowish-green, with its underbelly and webbing being a pale yellow. The feathers on its head, back, wings, and legs are green, yellow, orange, and pink, and the feathers found on its face neck, and chest are yellowish-white. Its eyes are brown.

Ecology
Citrapo is herbivorous, subsisting on fruit, herbs, and seeds, and sits on the bottom of the food chain, being preyed on by a variety of predators ranging from the lowly Jaggis and Ludroths to the fearsome Rathalos, Nargacuga, and Brachydios. It is incapable of flight, for its wings are small and it lacks the keel on the sternum of other Bird Wyverns, which is where the flight muscles attach. However, it is a good climber, using its feet, whose large size coupled with its short legs are designed for climbing, to cling onto trees so it can hide within them during the day. It is nocturnal, sleeping within trees during the day and foraging for food at night, and the whisker-like feathers on its face help it navigate the area around it thanks to them boosting its sense of smell, which is useful in dark conditions. Its legs have become more powerful to make up for the fact it cannot fly, allowing it to run quickly in a gallop-like fashion, similar to real kakapos. Its beak is adapted for grinding food, which it uses to strip food of its nutritious parts and leave indigestible fibre behind, and it is particularly fond of citrus fruit, eagerly eating it whenever it can. This is believed to be the result of it developing a specialized organ designed to hold its sour juices, which it later spits out at its attackers' eyes in order to blind them, allowing it to make an escape. During the mating season, males of the species will attempt to attract females by gathering together in an arena and making loud "ching" noises, with the females choosing a mate based on how loud his voice is. The males will then leave the females to raise the chicks on their own, and the females will provide the chicks with food and shelter until they are old enough to walk and forage properly. The Bird Wyverns are common targets for hunting due to their tasty meat and colourful, warm feathers, and have been rendered endangered due to overhunting, meaning that hunters are only allowed to pursue them during Village Quests, similar to Monoblos.

Behavior
Citrapo is friendly and curious, and will interact with humans and other small monsters if it sees them. However, if threatened, it will spit citrus juice at targets, blinding them and giving it time to escape.

Abilities
It is a good climber, being able to climb trees within seconds, and its legs allow it to move at fast speeds in the form of galloping. Its colouration provides it with camouflage when hiding within trees, and it has a strong sense of smell. It stores citrus juice in its body, and when threatened, it can spit it at targets in order to blind them, granting it time to escape.

Habitat
Citrapo lives in the Deserted Island and the Tide Island.

Trivia

 * Citrapo's name is a portmanteau of citrus, a type of fruit notable for their sour taste, juicy flesh, and pulpy rind, and kakapo, a species of large, flightless parrots.
 * Citrapo's official name comes from the kakapo's name being derived from the Māori terms kākā ("parrot") + pō ("night").
