Leave suggestions in the comments below, too. - Subnauticatracer"The Thunder Wing ( サンダーウイング, Sandāuingu) is a territorial Flying Wyvern that can be found inhabiting caves. However, studies have shown that the Thunder Wing also enjoys areas above-ground, as long as it is within 40M of it's cave or other reasons (Hunting, Thunderstorm).

Physiology
Thunder Wings are very aquiline in appearance. Its aquiline wings and tail, feathers with a shimmering metallic sheen, and clawed avian feet give the impression of a giant bird, with the obvious exception of metal spikes appearing along it's back and eyebrows, as well as a mouth and head structure similar to the MUTOs. While the inattentive eye may confuse a Thunder Wing for a Bazelguese, given their similar stature, Thunder Wings are actually a bit larger than their fiery cousins and are more territorial than aggressive. Thunder Wings also do not have wing membranes.

Thunder Wings emanate sparks, a result of their feathers being made of a substance similar to copper and electricity passing between the feathers.

Behavior
Thunder Wings, when not battling, tend to glide gracefully around their territory, which is usually a 40M circle around a Cave Entrance, periodically clinging to a tree and poking it. When it is time to hunt, Thunder Wings will leave their territory to hunt Aptonoths and other medium-sized herbivores. Of Course, they wouldn't just leave their territory unattended, usually dropping a few of their feathers on the ground and charging them, turning them into shock mines.

Placement In Food Chain
Thunder Wings are Apex-Predators, though often come into competition with Bazelguese, something common to find as both are capable of flight. Thunder Wings go after Aptonoths, and usually ignore larger game, unless they don't have a choice. In dire circumstances, Thunder Wings have been known to attack Bazelguese, Great Jagras, Kulu-Ya-Ku, Pukei-Pukei, and even Anjanths, showing that they aren't too choosy of what they eat.

Behavior to other Monsters
Thunder Wings will protect their territory to the death, never backing down or relenting. Anything that trespasses is usually given a warning in the form of a painful zap, but if the intruder fails to take the hint, the monster will attack and tear apart the attacker with devastating attacks.

Tracks
A Telltale sign of whether a Thunder Wing is in the area is to first lick your finger and hold it up in the air. If there is a mild tingle, it's likely that a Thunder Wing has passed by. As for ground tracks, Look for talon scrapes and Copper Feathers, they might indicate a Thunder Wing trail.

Cave Encounter
Upon entry of a Thunder Wing occupied Cave, The Hunter will lick their finger and hold it up to track wind, instead getting a tingling sensation that appears to get stronger as the Hunter heads forward. Lightning begins to arc periodically in their surroundings until the tingling turns into a painful static charge. The Hunter wipes off their fingers and looks around the area, before tripping over the wing of the creature. This causes the monster to stir and awaken. The Beast gives an intense glare as it shakes off the sleepiness before screeching. The Hunt is on! This cutscene is skipped after the first entry.

Main Attacks

 * Thunder Shot - Thunder Wing focuses it's the electricity coursing through it's body and fires an explosive shot of lightning. This attack is also used when the Thunder Wing hunts.
 * Shoo, Shoo! - If the Thunder Wing is tired, It will fly into the air and wave it's wings forward, causing a powerful air current to slow down and potentially send away a hunter.
 * Hammer-Head - Raising it's head up and giving a caw, the Thunder Wing proceeds to slam it's head into the ground, getting closer to it's target, like a giant hammer. There is a reason for having a thick skull. If the target is hit 3 times in a row, Their attack and defense decrease.
 * Thunder Claws - The monster takes flight, directing energy to it's claws, before dropping, claws first, into the target. Electricity lingers in the area for 5 seconds, causing anything that walks on it for too long to be inflicted with paralysis.

Enraged Attacks

 * Isolated Thunder Bird - The Thunder Wing lets loose a bubble of electricity and shambles towards the target, staring down at them with it's menacing eyes. If the Hunter is caught in it for too long, paralysis will follow.
 * Wrestling Shake - The creature attempts to grab the hunter. If it does so, it will proceed to shake them, causing defense down.

Rage and Tired States
Rage State: Electricity arcs rapidly around the creature's body. Periodically, it will perform a Godzilla Roar, knocking down the hunter.

Tired State: The Creature's electric arcs appear infrequently, and it dodges more often than attacking.

Trivia

 * A Thunder Wing's Screech sounds a lot like Godzilla's 2014 Roar.
 * Even though they are regarded as True Wyverns, Thunder Wings are more avian in appearance.
 * Thunder Wings were inspired by the Bazelguese, the peregrine falcon, the Hive Guardians from Priest (2011), The MUTO, and Godzilla
 * The authors thought process: You know what would be cool? A Bazelguese and a MUTO with lightning powers. But wait, unlike the Bazelguese lives within caverns and is more territorial than aggressive. Speaking of aggressive, It isn't exactly choosy with it's meals and will hunt anything it can if it needs too... Like an ANJANTH! It should also have a really menacing roar, since it isn't just a giant bird... Wait a minute. I can use Godzilla's roar and amp up the volume, while mixing it with the Hive Guardian growl! Genius!
 * Thunder Wings prefer Aptonoths to other prey, but as said before, they aren't choosy.
 * The Zeus Birds like being tickled underneath their chin, assuming you can actually get there.
 * There is a version of the Thunder Wing called an Apex Thunder Wing. While there are no changes, aside from the red lightning arcs, Apex Thunder Wings hunt higher level creatures, from Anjanths, Great Jagras, Rathalos, and even each other!
