Aviarcta

Aviarcta is a Bird Wyvern and the female counterpart of Aviarctin.

Physiology
Aviarcta has an appearance similar to that of her smaller counterpart, Aviarctin. However, Aviarcta has broader wings, a larger "crown"-like crest ontop of her head and she has a wyvern-like tail instead of the eagle-like tail that Aviarctin has. Aviarcta has the same sky-blue color as Aviarctin, but she also has white feathers throughout her body which makes it look like a snowy sky. Aviarcta's entire body is covered with feathers, unlike Aviarctin, and she is also more muscular.

Behavior
Aviarcta are aggressive and territorial Bird Wyverns like their smaller counterparts, but Aviarcta are even more aggressive attacking almost anything that enters their territory. They are the ones almost always hunting, most often on their own but also sometimes with their mate.

Introduction Cutscene
Egg Quest (Plays after first egg has been delivered)
 * Location: Tundra
 * Synopsis: A large Bird Wyvern arrives in the nest the Hunter just left and took the egg from. The Bird Wyvern notices one egg is missing. The Bird Wyvern roars in anger as it flies out of the cave and goes after the Hunter together with the Aviarctin.

Hunt Cutscene

 * Location: Arctic Ridge
 * Synopsis: As the Hunter enters Area 8 they notice there's a powerful blizzard going in which they can barely move. They see a large shadow walking around in the blizzard which then stops as it seemingly notices the Hunter. The Hunter then notices the shadow shooting an ice blast at the Hunter which they barely dodge. The shadow rears up and spreads its massive wings and then a loud roar and the blizzard disappears. The large shadow is revealed to have been an Aviarcta which seems very angry at the Hunter for entering her territory. She roars and then the hunt begins.

Abilities
Aviarcta are capable of causing powerful, freezing cold winds like their smaller counterparts but the winds caused by Aviarcta are even more powerful because of their even larger wings. They are capable of shooting massive cold blasts in different manners which can easily freeze enemies. Their large beak is capable of crushing strong shells and their large talons are capable of causing even more massive scars than their smaller counterparts. Unlike their male counterparts, Aviarcta stay on the ground a lot more often and longer.

Rage and Tired States

 * Rage State: Aviarcta will enter the Rage mode by flapping its wings very hard, causing a blizzard. If Hunters stand still for too long in this blizzard they will first get Iceblight, then Severe Iceblight and eventually Snowman. She will also have a smokey breath, like if you breath out when in the cold.


 * Tired State: Aviarcta will start to drool.

Frenzy, Apex and Hyper
Aviarcta can get affected by the Frenzy and become Frenzied, they can also get into the Hyper State and they are also capable of getting into the Apex State.

Frenzied Aviarcta has the usual changes of a Frenzied Monster but it also has a chance to cause winds filled with the frenzy, but this is rare. Frenzied Aviarcta are the only Aviarcta found without an Aviarctin.

Hyper Aviarcta has the usual changes of a monster in the Hyper State and gains a new attack. Icicle Blast: Aviarcta will create an icicle, similarly to the Ice Blast attack, which will then be shot at a Hunter. The icicle goes faster than the Ice Blast and can cause Iceblight.

Apex Aviarcta has the usual changes of an Apex monster and besides getting the attack Hyper Aviarcta gets, get another new attack. Multiple Icicle Blasts: Aviarcta will do its Icicle Blast attack multiple times in a row. This can be a random amount of times from three to five which can all cause Iceblight. It also causes frenzy-filled winds more often.

Mounts
Aviarcta has a mount similar to that of Aviarctin and thus Rathian and Rathalos.

Taxonomy
Aviarcta is a member of the Bird Wyvern together with her male counterpart, Aviarctin.
 * Order: Saurischia
 * Suborder: Bird Feet
 * Infraorder: Bird Wyvern
 * Family: Aviarc

Habitat Range
Aviarcta have been sighted in the Arctic Ridge, Tundra, Frozen Seaway, Polar Sea, Polar Field, Frigid Castle and Blizzard Canyon. They have also been sighted in the Frigid Forest, Frozen Cliffs, Alpine Peaks, Gelid Ocean, White Plateau, Mount Calamity and the Frosty Glacier. This shows that they are known to mostly live in cold environments

Ecological Niche
Aviarcta sit at the top of the food chain and are capable of hunting almost anything in their territory without trouble. They have been seen taking down Blangonga, Tigrex, Gammoth and many other monsters for food. They are also known to kill Khezu on sight, but it's uncertain why they do this. The only things that can challenge and kill an Aviarcta is other Elder Dragon-level monsters, Deviants or Elder Dragons.

But whenever an Aviarcta is hunting together with an Aviarctin they are capable of even taking down some Elder Dragons like Kushala Daora. These battles still have uncertainty to them and the Elder Dragon might still win.

Biological Adaptions
Aviarcta have the same biological adaptions as Aviarctin, but they have developed even larger and broader wings, larger and more powerful talons, a stronger beak and a larger crest. They have also developed a different tail which can be used to fight and kill prey, unlike the tail that Aviarctin has.

Behavior
Aviarcta are even more aggressive and territorial and will attack almost anything that enters their territory, besides possible mates. When the Aviarcta has a mate the Aviarcta will be the one that hunts for food and will sometimes hunt together with the Aviarctin or stay at the nest to rest for a bit. The two of them will stay together until their young are old enough to fend for themselves. Then the two will leave their young together and live together until they die.
