Its wings feature sky blue membranes that are marbled with yellow streaks. Its backside is dotted with yellow specks, and it has three talons on each foot. Zerapharos's tail is long and thin, and terminates in a yellow bony spike. Just before the spike is a pair of similar spikes.

Abilities
Zerapharos possesses the ability to control photons, giving it access to powerful light-based attacks.

Habitat Range
Zerapharos has been sighted in both the Old World and the New World. It prefers to inhabit temperate and tropical environments. In the Old World its known habitats are the Ancestral Steppe, Deserted Island, Flooded Forest, Everwood, Heaven's Mount, Jurassic Frontier, Misty Peaks, Primal Forest, Ruined Pinnacle, and the Verdant Hills. In the New World it inhabits the Ancient Forest and Coral Highlands.

Ecological Niche
Despite its awe-inspiring appearance and power, Zerapharos is actually an herbivorous creature. To be precise, it is a frugivore, meaning it feeds on fruit. Thanks to its size and strength, not many predators are actual capable of preying on Zerapharos, although they do pose a threat, namely the likes of Rathalos, Tigrex, Nargacuga, Brachydios, Zinogre, Glavenus, etc. While Diablos and Duramboros are herbivores, they also pose a threat as they are extremely aggressive and territorial.

Biological Adaptations
Zerapharos has the unique ability to control photons, giving it access to powerful light-based attacks. It is most noticeably able to shoot powerful concentrated beams from its mouth and emit bright flashes from its wings. Its photon-controlling abilities are not fully understood, though researchers have discovered that Zerapharos produces a peculiar electromagnetic field which seems to assist it in its photon manipulation.

Behavior
Zerapharos is normally a docile creature, but is also very skittish. It is an arboreal wyvern, so its spends most of its time in trees.
