Secuscria

Secuscria are large Flying Wyverns that trap prey within their wings. It is one of the two flagship monsters of ???.

Physiology
Secuscria are bipedal wyverns. Its hide possesses large silver-grey scales with maroon colored patterns and its underside is dark grey. Their snout is narrow and filled with razor-sharp teeth, with its upper jaw sporting three large fangs. Its eyes are bright green in color. Large osteoderms run from its shoulder to its tail. Immense amounts of spines line the top of its tail, running from the base of the tail to the tip. Secuscria's defining traits are its wings, which are unusually large even for a Flying Wyvern. The wing membranes are a light grey with bright red ornate markings. Its phalanx have turned into long, sharp spikes jut out that allow Secuscria to easily embed its wings in the ground. They also possess large spikes on their wingtips. Its wing membranes, while flexible, are also rather hard and more difficult to break compared to the wing membranes of other wyverns.

Intro Cutscene
Location : Greenwood Paradise, Area 15

Synopsis : The hunter enters Area 15 and looks around. It's unusually silent. Suddenly a Faltarnos rushes out from the brush behind the hunter, startled by something. Three more Faltarnos follow, as well as a Great Faltarnos. The hunter looks onwards, confused. Suddenly, a large wyvern lunges out from the brush behind the hunter. The hunter quickly ducks as the wyvern flies towards the Faltarnos pack. The wyvern swoops down and slams its wings down into the ground around the Great Faltarnos, trapping it. The Bird Wyvern has no time to react and slams into one of the spikes of the wing membrane, making it fall backward, stunned. The large wyvern growls and clamps its jaws around the Great Faltarnos' neck. After a bit of struggling, the Bird Wyvern's neck is snapped. The Flying Wyvern raises its wings from the ground and lets out a roar. The winged beast starts feasting on the freshly killed Bird Wyvern. The hunter, who has been hiding behind a rock this entire time, comes out of hiding. The hunt has begun.

Abilities
Secuscria has no elemental capabilities. Instead, they rely on their unusual wings to capture prey. Their spike-like phalanx help Secuscria anchor their wings into the ground. They embed their wings into the ground around their victims, allowing them to feed on their prey in leisure. They can also use their wings for offensive purposes.

Biological Adaptations
Secuscria's wings are rather unique for a Flying Wyvern. Their phalanx have evolved into large spike-like structure. They use these structures to anchor their wings into the floor, surrounding and trapping prey.
