Black Diavios

Black Diavios is a Flying Wyvern and a Hybrid Species of Black Diablos and Black Gravios. Being the Hybrid Species of the Subspecies of Diablos and Gravios, Black Diavios is also considered the Subspecies of Diavios.
== Physiology ==
Black Diavios is the offspring of a Black Diablos and a male Black Gravios. This means that Black Diavios has an appearance which largely resembles the regular Diavios, combining elements from Diablos and Gravios or, in Black Diavios' case, Black Diablos and Black Gravios. Unlike Diavios, it is black in color and the top of its "pinecones" are red in color. It's also slightly larger and more muscular than the regular Diavios.
== Backstory ==
It's said that Black Diavios was created in the same place as the regular Diavios, Mezeporta. But while scientists were expecting to create a regular Diavios, they got a Black Diavios. The scientists were frustrated by the fact that they couldn't figure out why this colored variant was happening. When the hybrids went rogue one day, the Black Diavios escaped into the wild just like other hybrids. When the Guild started allowing the hunting of Hybrid Species, many went after several Black Diavios, but many didn't come back. Thus the Guild decided to only let the best hunters go after a Black Diavios as it can match even the strength of Elder Dragons.
== Behavior ==
Being the offspring of Black Diablos and Black Gravios, the Black Diavios has a behavior which mixes elements from both of them. This does mean that its behavior largely resembles the behavior of the regular Diavios, but Black Diavios are even more aggressive and dangerous. This, combined with its larger size and strength, makes Black Diavios a threat even Elder Dragons would be careful around.
== Ecological Information ==
=== Placement in Food Chain ===
Like Diavios, there's a lot of mystery behind the position of Black Diavios in the food chain. It's however theorized that these Flying Wyverns take a position at the very top of the food chain due to the characteristics they have gained from their parents, despite them generally feeding on cacti and ore. They will occasionally feed on small and large monsters which they can do with next to no effort thanks to their immense size and power.
=== Behavior towards Other Monsters ===
Black Diavios is thought to immediately attack small monsters in the same area as it even without any provocation. Large monsters are also thought to be prone to getting attacked on sight due to the Black Diavios' incredible aggression. Black Diavios is also thought to attack Elder Dragons in the same area as it and even drive them off.
=== Tracks ===
Black Diavios can leave behind several kinds of tracks for hunters to utilize in tracking it down. These tracks include "Massive Heavy Prints", which can be found on the ground, "Giant Claw Marks", which can be found on the ground or on walls, "Black Heavy Shell", which can be found on the ground, "Sleeping Gas", which can be found floating around, "Burning Gas", which can be found floating around, and "Poisonous Gas", which can be found floating around.
=== Specific Locale Interactions ===
Like Diablos, Black Diavios can go into the sand wall that's found in the Wildspire Waste where Diablos and Black Diablos usually go to sleep. Black Diavios can leap out of this sand wall like Diablos and Black Diablos towards hunters.
=== Special Behaviors ===
Black Diavios doesn't have any special behaviors.
== Cutscene ==
=== Hunt Cutscene ===
* Location: Desert
* Synopsis: As the hunter enters Area 5 of the Desert they notice several Genprey and Cephalos at the opposite side of the area as if they are scared of something. When the hunter walks forwards, all the Grenprey and Cephalos look towards the side the hunter is at. The hunter keeps walking until they are about to reach the center of the area at which point all the Genprey and Cephalos leave at the sight of something. The camera then turns around to face the front of the hunter and what's behind the hunter, which is a large black mass of some kind. As the camera focuses on the head of the hunter again, the hunter starts turning their head to look behind them which is when the hunter gets terrified. The camera then zooms out behind the hunter, clearly showing the large black mass now, which turns out to be a Black Diavios. The giant Flying Wyvern stares at the hunter and then roars loudly. The hunter covers their ears after which the Black Diavios tries stomping on them, but luckily for the hunter, they manage to leap out of the way just in time. The Black Diavios then roars again, starting the hunt.
== Abilities ==
Being the offspring of a Black Diablos and a Black Gravios, Black Diavios has a abilities from both of them which resemble the abilities of a regular Diavios, but amped up. It's capable of digging through the ground, producing a powerful roar and charging at high speeds with their horns like Diablos, and it is capable of releasing a potent knockout gas or a dangerous poisonous gas from gaps in its underside and releasing a flammable gas as a waste product of its heat beam and of its diet. It's capable of combining its abilities and powers for even more devastating attacks then its parents or the Diavios can do. This is seen in the fact that many of its attacks are faster and much more powerful than the regular Diavios.
== Rage and Tired States ==
* Rage State: When enraged, Black Diavios will huff out a flaming black smoke which looks like a mix of the effects when Black Diablos and Black Gravios are enraged.
* Tired State: When tired, Black Diavios will start drooling and will often fail doing its elemental-based attacks. It will also take longer to recover after doing attacks
== Frenzy, Apex, Hyper and Tempered ==
Black Diavios being a Hybrid Species means that they're rare and thus it was difficult to confirm if it could be in any of these statuses, but theories were formed on basis of the parents. Thus it was theorized Frenzied Black Diavios, Tempered Black Diavios, Hyper Black Diavios and Apex Black Diavios can exist. Eventually Frenzied Black Diavios was confirmed, but Hyper Black Diavios' and Apex Black Diavios' existences are still ambiguous.
Frenzied Black Diavios was confirmed pretty quickly after sightings of this beast started happening. Black Diavios, being categorized a monster which can match the likes of Elder Dragons, is seen as similar in power to Deviljho, if not more powerful. Thus a Frenzied Black Diavios would be around equal to a Frenzied Deviljho and thus Apex monsters. Frenzied Black Diavios has the usual changes of a Frenzied monster and also gains any changes and attacks which Frenzied Black Diablos and Frenzied Black Gravios get.
Tempered Black Diavios are considered Threat Lv3 Tempered Monsters and have the usual changes of a Tempered monster.
Hyper Black Diavios' existence is still questionable. Black Diavios in this state are again thought to be around equal in power to Deviljho in the same state. This would make a Hyper Black Diavios a serious threat that would need to be taken care of as soon as possible.
The existence of Apex Black Diavios has been theorized as the parents of a regular Diavios are capable of attaining this state, thus it is theorized that the parents of a Black Diavios should also be capable of attaining it. If one exists it would be around equal in power to an Apex Deviljho. This would make it a serious threat if one were to be found and would need to be taken down immediately as it could cause destruction otherwise only seen in the likes of powerful Elder Dragons.
== Mounts ==
As Black Diavios is a Hybrid Species of Black Diablos and Black Gravios, its mount animation is a mix between the mounts of Black Diablos and Black Gravios. Black Diavios can be mounted on its head, its back, its belly and its tail. 
When Black Diavios is mounted on its head, the hunter will either be located behind the Black Diavios' large frill or on either side of the Black Diavios' head. The Black Diavios will try to get hunters off by violently shaking its head around, by running around and by slamming the side of its head into walls or the ground.
When Black Diavios is mounted on its back, the hunter will be located on the back of the Black Diavios, in between the large spines running across its back. The Black Diavios will try to get hunters off by shaking its body, by running around and by slamming the side of its body into walls.
When Black Diavios is mounted on its stomach, the hunter will be located right on the middle of its belly. The Black Diavios will try to get hunters off by shaking its body and by trying to roll over.
When Black Diavios is mounted on its tail, the hunter will be located somewhere from the base of the tail to where the club on the Black Diavios' tail starts. The Black Diavios will try to get hunters off by violently shaking its tail around, by running around and by slamming its tail into walls or the ground. 
== In-Game Description ==
== Ecology ==
=== Taxonomy ===
* Order: Saurischia
* Suborder: Wyvern Feet
* Infraorder: Heavy Shell Wyvern
* Superfamily: Horn Wyvern (Mother) + Armor Wyvern (Father)
* Family: Blos (Mother) + Armor Wyvern (Father)
Black Diavios is a Hybrid Species of Black Gravios and Black Diablos, the Subspecies of Diablos and Gravios, thus Black Diavios is sometimes considered a Subspecies of Diavios. This makes it closely related to Black Diablos and Black Gravios and all their other relatives.
=== Habitat Range ===
Black Diavios has been sighted in the same habitats as regular Diavios which include the Volcano (2nd), Old Volcano, Primal Forest, Everwood, Volcanic Hollow, Ingle Isle, Desert, Sandy Plains, Dunes, Obsidian Caves and Ancient Outback.
=== Ecological Niche ===
Black Diavios are omnivorous monsters as Black Diablos are herbivores and Black Gravios might occasionally eat meat. However, Black Diavios will more commonly eat minerals or go after vegetation like its parents rather than hunt for meat. But, when it does hunt for meat, it has a large variety of prey it can go after as its immense size and power allows it to hunt many monsters, even several large monsters, in its habitats.
Prey of the small variety can include the likes of Apceros, Bullfango, Ioprey, Remobra, Rhenoplos and Slagtoth in volcanic regions. Prey in desert regions can include the likes of Cephalos, Genprey, Hermitaur and Delex. In the Primal Forest and Everwood it can prey on the likes of Conga, Konchu, Velociprey and Jaggi. Larger prey can include Iodrome, Shogun Ceanataur, Volvidon and Yian Kut-Ku in volcanic regions, and Barroth, Cephadrome, Daimyo Hermitaur and Gendrome in desert regions. In the Primal Forest and Everwood they'll also feed on the likes of Congalala, Gypceros, Kecha Wacha and Malfestio. Even large and powerful monsters like Agnaktor, Glavenus, Rathalos, Mizutsune, Seltas Queen, Akura Vashimu and Seregios may sometimes be taken down by this gigantic monster for food.
While they're truly powerful, they still have plenty of competitors. Several of the aforementioned monsters can be dangerous for a Black Diavios. Other competitors can include Black Diablos, Black Gravios, Brachydios, Midogaron, Rajang, Deviljho, Teostra, Kuarusepusu and Odibatorasu. Despite this, many monsters would think twice before trying to challenge this mighty Hybrid Species.
=== Biological Adaptations ===
Thanks to Black Diavios being a Hybrid Species of Black Diablos and Black Gravios, it has many of the biological adaptations of both of these. Some of these adaptations include the Black Diablos' large horns, large blunt wing claws and strong tail, and Black Gravios' thick and durable rock-like body, fire abilities, knockout gas and poison gas. From both sides it has acquired large and powerful muscles which it needs to hold up its even larger size and mass. It combines the many adaptations from both its parents to be an even more dangerous and powerful Flying Wyvern, even more dangerous and powerful than the regular Diavios.
=== Behavior ===
Black Diavios is a highly aggressive and territorial Flying Wyvern, behavior acquired from both its parents. It will attack pretty much anything on sight which will often result in severe wounds for whatever it attacks. Even the likes of Akantor has to be careful around this Flying Wyvern.

* Leaping Drill: Black Diavios will roar and then leap up into the air, start spinning like a drill and try to land onto a hunter. When the Black Diavios hits the ground it will drill into the ground and then try coming up below another hunter somewhere. When it comes out of the ground it will send rocks flying out from where it left the ground. If hunters get hit by the Black Diavios in the initial part of the attack they can get knocked away and if hunters get hit by the second part of the attack they can get knocked upwards. If hunters get hit by the rocks which fly out they can get knocked down.
* Flaming Cone Laser: Black Diavios will roar and will then make Gravios' flame laser sound as it starts firing a large laser in the shape of a cone at the ground in front of it. The Black Diavios will then start raising its head, expanding the size of the laser thanks to its cone shape until it's firing upwards at which point it will stop firing and will release flaming gases. This attack can knock hunters away and cause Fireblight.
==== Enraged ====
* Shredding Laser: Black Diavios will first make the Gravios' flame laser sound after which it will start firing a laser which is so powerful it causes rocks to fly out of the ground where it shoots. Black Diavios will then quickly sweep the laser across the area. If hunters get hit by the laser they can get knocked away and be afflicted with Fireblight. If hunters get hit by the rocks that fly out they can get knocked down.
* Shredding Laser Walk: Black Diavios will first make the Gravios' flame laser sound after which it will start firing the Shredding Laser, but then it will start walking around and repeatedly turning its head, making the laser repeatedly sweep across the area. If hunters get hit by the Black Diavios walking into them they can get knocked down and if hunters get hit by the laser they can get knocked away and be afflicted with Fireblight. If hunters get hit by the rocks that fly out they can get knocked down.
* Flaming Charge: This attack is done after an attack which will cause Black Diavios to release flammable gases. After Black Diavios does it flammable gases-causing attack, it will paw the ground like a bull after which it will start charging towards a hunter when suddenly it releases its flammable gases, giving it a large speed boost. When Black Diavios has charged past the first hunter, it will either charge back at the same hunter or go towards another hunter after which it will turn around again and do one final charge. If hunters get hit by the start of the attack they can get knocked away and if they get hit by the Black Diavios when it's charging at full speed they will be send flying.
