Ice Sculpturer

Appearance
An Ice Sculpturer looks very similar to its close relatives, the Chiselhead and Dark Chiselhead, unlike them this subspecies has a light blue coloration with irregular, white spots. The hooks on the claws are more prominent and the tail is partly covered in ice. An Ice Sculpturer's head has the same shape upon it but the edges are much sharper on the upper side, the two other sides of the triangle have saw-like spikes growing from the edge. The snout is bigger as well, making the shape deviate from a perfect triangular form. Ice Sculpturers are even larger than Dark Chiselheads.

Habitat and Ecology
The Brute Wyvern inhabits ice cold areas with large amounts of ice like the Frigid Mere, Taiga and Glacial Canyon. This Endemic Life frequents crevasses and frozen ravines where it is able to perceive any sound that may signal an approaching threat with their excellent hearing. Hunters often have trouble capturing this creature because of this characteristic.

The Ice Sculpturer feed on small Neopteron if it can catch them but are also scavenger and dig up buried bodies out of the snow which were hidden by bigger monsters. The Brute Wyvern is able to find those when it is able to hear the predator hide them. This creature is also able to find Neopteron larvae in tree borks by lightly hitting its tail agains them and sense them precisely with their hearing.

Ice Sculpturers build formations similar to their close relatives, but these aren't meant for catching prey but courting mates. The ice sculptures created by them are all unique and different from builds of other individuals. They are scattered around the area and if one finds a sculpture that appeals to them they give out a cry to call out the sculpturer. If they are of a different sex they will mate although sometimes this doesn't seem to matter. While they are quite rare in the hunting grounds, they actually thrive in hard to access areas outside of those.
