Aviarctin

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

Physiology
Aviarctin is a rather large Bird Wyvern with a body structure similar to Argentavis and eagles, but with larger wings relative to its body. Their beak is like that of an eagle, but much bigger than any eagle relative to their body. They have silvery-grey eyes and their beak is longer and thicker than an eagle beak but it is hooked just like one. Their feathers are sky blue and cover nearly their entire body except the bottom part of their legs. It has a kind of 'crown' on top of its head similar to the one the crowned eagle has. They have large wings which they use to cause powerful cold winds and their sharp talons are capable of shredding through their prey and cause large scars on their enemies.

Behavior
Aviarctin are aggressive and territorial Bird Wyverns. They will attack many things if they stay too long in their territory, especially individuals that haven't found a mate yet. Aviarctin which have a mate are often in the nest taking care of their eggs, but will sometimes go out to hunt together with their mate or on their own.

Hunt Cutscene

 * Location: Arctic Ridge
 * Synopsis: As the Hunter enters Area 6 they notice the bad weather. It is snowing quite heavily and the Hunter notices a shadow in the air flying through it, but it is hard to see what it is. After this the snowfall suddenly stops and the shadow is gone. The camera pans around to face towards the Hunter which shows their scared face. After this the monster comes down behind them and roars, scaring the Hunter. The Hunter runs away as the Aviarctin flies after them for a bit before the Hunter jumps out of the way of it. The Aviarctin looks back towards the Hunter as it roars, beginning the hunt.

Ecology Cutscene

 * Location: Tundra
 * Synopsis: The cutscene begins by showing a Lagombi seemingly in a panic, trying to escape from something chasing it. Afterwards it shows what it is chasing the Lagombi, it's an Aviarctin which is angry because the Lagombi entered its territory. As the Lagombi keeps going it avoids multiple obstacles, meanwhile the Aviarctin is shooting ice blasts at the Lagombi. Eventually however the Lagombi is focusing on the Aviarctin and not where it's going which causes it to crash into an obstacle. While the Lagombi is trying to recover, the Aviarctin is capable of catching up and starts bombarding the Lagombi with ice blasts. Afterwards the Aviarctin goes down to the Lagombi and starts shredding it to pieces with his talons. The Lagombi unable to do anything just accepts fate and lets itself be killed by the Aviarctin which afterwards starts feeding from the corpse.

Abilities
Aviarctin are capable of causing powerful winds with their large wings and thanks to their cold environment these winds can become very cold. They are also capable of shooting cold blasts towards opponents which can easily freeze them. Their large beak is capable of crushing strong shells and their large talons can cut through thick skin or armor. Unlike their female counterparts, Aviarctin stay in the air a lot more often and longer.

Rage and Tired States

 * Rage State: Aviarctin will enter the Rage by flapping its wings very hard, causing a strong cold wind. If you stand still too long in these winds you will get Iceblight. He will also have a smokey breath, like if you breath out when in the cold.
 * Tired State: Aviarctin will start to drool.

Frenzy, Apex and Hyper
Aviarctin can get affected by the Frenzy and become Frenzied, but it is unknown if it can get into the Apex State. Aviarctin can also get into the Hyper State.

Frenzied Aviarctin has the usual changes of a Frenzied Monster but it also has a chance to cause winds filled with the frenzy, but this is rather rare.

Hyper Aviarctin has the usual changes of a Hyper monster but when enraged its winds will now be stronger meaning that if you stay still too long you will first get Iceblight and then eventually Severe Iceblight.

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

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

Habitat Range
Aviarctin 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 enviroments.

Ecological Niche
While on its own an Aviarctin is a capable predator, it doesn't sit at the top of the food chain when it's without a mate. It is easily capable of hunting any small monsters like Popo, Bullfango or Blango. It can also take down some bigger monsters like Giadrome, Lagombi and Blangonga. But without a mate it falls prey to even stronger monsters like Tigrex, Barioth and Deviljho. It also falls prey to the occasional Elder Dragon in its environment. In the Polar Sea it is also known to prey on Pokara, but also falls prey to monsters like Anorupatisu and Giaorugu there. However together with a mate an Aviarctin will be much safer as strong monsters can sense the influence the female is having on the Aviarctin. This makes big monsters scared of the consequences which might come if they try to take this Aviarctin down, but some will still try and often succeed. After this they will either try to feed as fast as possible from the corpse or try to take the corpse away before the mate arrives.

Biological Adaptions
Aviarctin have adapted to have very large wings to cause powerful winds and combine these with the freezing temperatures to cause freezing cold winds. Aviarctin are also capable of shooting ice blasts and breathing out ice-cold air. They are capable of using their large beaks to crush prey or wound enemies and they can use their large, sharp talons to cut through prey and cause large scars on enemies.

Behavior
Aviarctin are aggressive and territorial and will attack almost anything that enters their territory. They will not attack possible mates and things they know are out of their league. During mating season Aviarctin that don't have a mate yet will fought each other to have the rights of a mate. When the Aviarctin has a mate the Aviarctin will be the one that protects the egg and takes care of them, but will sometimes go hunt together with the Aviarcta or without it when the Aviarcta is resting. 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.
