Paradiva

Paradiva are Bird Wyverns.

Physiology
Paradiva is a medium-sized Bird Wyvern that strongly resembles a male greater bird-of-paradise. It is slightly larger than a Malfestio. Its head has three orange feather projections on each side and head markings that give the appearance of a masquerade mask.

Ecology
Paradiva primarily feed on fruit, nectar, and small Neopterons, but are known to occasionally prey on small herbivores. Although low on the food chain, few monsters prey on them due to their powerful electricity. Many monsters learn the hard way to leave the otherwise easy Paradiva alone. Their main predator is Astalos due to their electric resistance, aggressiveness, and skilled flight.

Behavior
Just like their inspiration, male Paradiva are all about impressing the ladies. During mating season, most of their hours are taken up by practicing their dances and calls. They do not take kindly to being interrupted, and can become aggressive. Even while fighting, they continue to dance and call, except now they incorporate these dances into their fighting style. Paradiva are incredibly obnoxious, and requests to have them eliminated are constant during mating season. Studies have shown they are quite intelligent... though common sense is lacking.

Abilities
Paradiva generate electricity in the orange feathers covering their backs and tail as self-defense or as a tool. When enraged, the plume on their back stands up, allowing them to discharge larger and more powerful blasts of lightning.

Some Paradiva possess strange, modified feathers that turn silver and steel-hard when charged with electricity. This robs them of the ability to fly due to the lack of aerodynamics. Oddly, these feathers are not found on their heads or chests.

Habitat
Paradiva primarily inhabit jungles.
