Unknown (Black Flying Wyvern)

Unknown Black Flying Wyvern is a reclusive, elusive Flying Wyvern that heavily resembles a Rathian but is a different species altogether. It can invade quest, investigations and expeditions in similar fashion to the likes of Deviljho and Bazelgeuse





Event
Unlike the other invader monsters, the Unknown Black Flying Wyvern only invades quests during a Lunar Eclipse, whether they happen right as soon as the quest starts or during the quest, Unknown will invade the quest.

Physiology

Behavior
An eldritch wyvern that has never been seen before in the New World, only setting onto the land during a lunar eclipse.

Ecology

 * Habitat Range

Its true habitat is unknown although it has been seening in all areas that are present in the New World.


 * Ecological Niche

An apex abominable, freak of nature that is on-par with Elder Dragons, destroying ecosystems left and right and leaving them barren. Is lethal enough to face against the likes of Nergigante, Teostra, Lunastra, etc, and triumph. Only major Elder Dragons can genuinely threaten them.


 * Biological Adaptations

The colouration of this flying wyvern is jet black with shades of crimson red. A truly evil looking wyvern. It holds a wide range of abilities such as the ability to eject spikes from its wings, unleash large blasts of blue fire alongside the mystical dragon element, unveil specks of blastblight that can cause a ring of explosions and blue fire twisters all across the map, unleash gas from the pores on its wings and flap it around to degrade the defenses of nearby opponents, its roar echo's across entire landscapes and is loud enough to damage, it can unleash a dark, blinding mist from spores within its hairs that cloud the area in pitch darkness with the only thing visible being the eyes of the Black Wyvern, its legs are supremely strong, able to pick up massive solid boulders and either slam them, crush them, send them rolling at hunters, or encase them in dragon element for an additional damage boost done to the opponent.
