Repuldor

Condoros is a Bird Wyvern that appears in Monster Hunter Revalian Frontier.

Physiology
 It looks like an oversized Condor or Vulture, with a long reptillian tail, and wyvern like wings. It has both large eyes and large nostrils, which alow it to detect carcasses of monsters with either it's sense of smell or sight. It has a rather bulky yet sharp beak, and it's head is bald, with no feathers. It has a featherless pouch on it's chest that is reminecent of real vultures called a "Crop", which it uses to store undigested food there, which it often needs to spit out if threatened. Like Malfestio, it's wings have Wingtalons that are normally hidden because they overlap, but when enraged, the Condoros will use them as weapons.

Abilities
 When threatened or provoked, it will attempt to defend itself by puking out a mix of digestive juices, and half digested and rotten meat, which often smells terrible enough to drive even a Deviljho away.

Behavior
It is timid by wyvern standards, but will viciously defend itself if threatened.

Habitat
It inhabits temperate and tropical enviroments all over Revalius.

Etymology
It's name is a combination of "Condor", and "os", which is a common suffix in Monster names in Monster Hunter

Notes and trivia

 * It's face can be scarred, it's wingtalons broken, and it's tail severed.
 * Obviously, it's appearance is based on the Vulture and/or the Condor.
 * Despite it's Wingtalon's resemblence to Malfestio's, it shares no relationship with the owl like bird wyvern.
 * It will eat from a nearby carcass, even that of a recently slain monster, to regain stamina.
 * It's Original Name by Gojira57 was Buzzrbile, but after a while, Gojira57 felt it did not sound "Monster Hunter like" and eventually, with a bit of help, decided to rename it "Condoros".

Taxonomy
Condoros is an Avian Bird Wyvern.

Habitat(s)
Many Tropical and temperate areas are fair game as Habitats for  Condoros, though they can't survive in Volcanic and artic regions, as they would overheat or freeze to death in the two respective enviroment types. Otherwise, they are quite adaptable. They have even been seen near the outskirts of villages and cities, feeding on roadkill.

Niche
As it's Condor/Vulture like appearance would suggest, it is mostly a scavenger, feeding on the dead and dying individuals of any species, but will sometimes kill live prey if it can't find any carcasses. They don't have much competition, since other scavengers like remobra tend to give  Condoros  a wide berth until the Bird Wyvern had it's fill. However,  Condoros  does have to worry about predators bigger than itself, such as Deviljho, Rathalos/Rathian, and other predatory monsters.

Biological Adaptations
 Condoros   have many interesting adaptations, including their bladed wings, which bear resemblence to those of the unrelated Malfestio, which the  Condoros   can use as a weapon when enraged. But their most notorius adaptation is the fact that, when threatened, it will make a coughing sound as a warning to back off, but if that does not work, it will cough even harder until it vomits it's stomach contents towards the threat, which includes digestive juices, and half digested meat, rotten and fresh, wich can prove to be too much for most creatures' sensitive noses, and buys the  Condoros   enough time to escape. Thie rbeaks are designed to rip through carcasses with ease, and their talons are more than capable of holding live prey and smaller carcasses it can lift.

Their stomachs are also worthy of note, since they can digest any meat, be it rotten, diseased or fresh, and more often than not gets rid of any pathogens found in rotting or diseased meat  when the said meat is consumed by the  Condoros. They also have a strong immune system that targets any pathogen, be it virus or bacteria, so they are well immune to most, if not all, diseases found in nature, including the frenzy virus.

Behavior
Despite the repulsive appearance and habits of the  Condoros, they are actually clean and well groomed creatures, very often seen cleaning their feathers to rid it of any leftovers from previous meals. They are also very timid by nature, often choosing flight over fight in any situation unless cornered. They have been known, however, to attack caravans that transport meat products, to get a free meal, and also hang around roads and the outskirts of cities and villages to feed on roadkill that is numerous in such locations.

 Condoros   have been known to follow Gore Magals's, shagaru Magalas and Frenzied Monsters, to feed on the kills made by the Magalas or even feed on carcasses that result from the Frenzied killing of Frenzied monsters.

They have been known to hang around battlefields.

In hot seasons,  Condoros   have been known, like real vultures, to urinate straight down on their legs, so the evaporated moisture cools them off, as well as killing bacteria that accumulate from  Condoros   walking in or near carcasses.

During Mating season,  Condoros   will congregate in groups called a "wake" and courtship begins there. Female  Condoros   will lay between two to four eggs at a time, and when the young hatch, the Parents feed the young by Disgorging the food from the crop. This continues until the young can fend for themselves.
