Aviarctin

**Aviarctin** (ホキュアシ *Hokyuashi*) is a Bird Wyvern that inhabits arctic regions and is the male counterpart of Aviarcta.

## Physiology

Aviarctin is a rather large Bird Wyvern which has a body structure that is reminiscent of both *Argentavis* and several species of eagle yet its stance is still similar to that of Malfestio. Its wings are proportionally similar in size to its body to that of an *Argentavis*, but slightly smaller, allowing it to produce strong, cold gusts of wind. Aviarctin has a relatively long and thick beak which is also hooked, giving it a similar shape to the beak of a Steller's sea eagle. It possesses a kind of feathery 'crown' at the back of its head like the one present on the crowned eagle. They also possess sharp talons and an extended tail like Malfestio, which is tipped with feathers like the tails of eagles and *Argentavis*.

Their body is largely covered in feathers, except the lower part of their legs, which have a sky blue color to them. Their feathery 'crown' and tailfeathers have royal blue-colored tips and the feathers on their wings have azure white tips. Their feet are Marian blue in coloring and have snow white talons. Their eyes are colored silver grey and their beak gradually becomes a darker shade of grey closer to the hooked tip, which is black in color.

## 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. The individuals which have found a mate are commonly taking care of their nest and eggs, but will still sometimes go out to hunt, either paired with their mate or on their own.

## Ecological Information

### Placement in Food Chain

Aviarctin have found to be a weird case in the food chain as when they're on their own, they've been found to take a position rather high in the food chain, being capable of easily preying on smaller monsters, but having to worry about predation from larger, stronger monsters. However, when an Aviarctin has a mate, most predation from other monsters will stop as they fear the consequences of hunting the mate of an Aviarcta.

### Behavior towards Other Monsters

Aviarctin are aggressive Bird Wyverns which will attack small monsters if they wander too close or decide to provoke the Bird Wyvern. Other large monsters are also prone to getting attacked if they wander to close to the Bird Wyvern or provoke it. Aviarctin will flee from larger and strong monsters, especially when having taken enough damage. However, if they're together with an Aviarcta, they will stay with their mate and fight other monsters.

### Tracks

Aviarctin can leave behind a variety of tracks for hunters to utilize in tracking it down. These tracks include **"Talon Marks"**, which can be found on the ground or on walls, **"Icy Scales"**, which can be found on the ground, and **"Icy Blue Feathers"**, which can be found on the ground.

### Specific Locale Interactions

Aviarctin doesn't have any specific locale interactions.

### Special Behaviors

When Aviarctin is fought together with an Aviarcta, they will form a Bond due to being male and female of the same species. The two Bird Wyverns will fly in a circle motion together, creating a large tornado after which the Aviarctin will leave the tornado. The Aviarctin will then shoot ice blasts into it, causing it to become icy due to being filled with shards of ice. The Aviarcta will then fly above the tornado and violently slam itself down through it, dispersing the tornado and sending out the many ice shards and a wave of cold wind. After this, the two Bird Wyverns will keep fighting the hunter together.

## Cutscenes

### Hunt Cutscene

* Location: Arctic Ridge
* Synopsis: As the hunter enters Area 6 they notice the bad weather happening. It's snowing quite heavily and the hunter notices a shadow in the air flying around, but it's hard for them to see what it actually 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, marking the start of the hunt.

### Ecology Cutscene

* Location: Tundra
* Synopsis: The cutscene begins by showing a Lagombi seemingly in a panic, trying to escape from something that is chasing it. Afterwards, the camera shows what is chasing the Lagombi, it's an Aviarctin which is angry due to the Lagombi entering 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 manages to catch up and bombards the Lagombi with several 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 as the cutscene starts ending.

## Abilities

Aviarctin are capable of causing strong, cold gusts of wind with its large wings. They're also capable of shooting several kinds of icy blasts at foes and are capable of breathing cold streams at foes to freeze them in place. They possess a rather impressive amount of strength which they can use with their beaks and talons. Their talons are also sharp enough to cause deep wounds that could quickly start bleeding if foes are not careful. Aviarctin are known to often stay in the air for extended periods of time, especially when compared to their female counterparts, Aviarcta.

## Rage and Tired States

* Rage State: When Aviarctin becomes enraged, it will start by flapping its wings very hard several times, creating a small snowstorm in the area. This small snowstorm can cause Iceblight if hunters stay still for too long. The Aviarctin will also have a visible, smoky breath like when someone breathes out in the cold.
* Tired State: When Aviarctin becomes tired, it will start drooling and will be in the air less often. It will also sometimes fail doing its elemental attacks and fall over after doing some of its attacks.

## Frenzy, Apex, Hyper and Tempered

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

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

Tempered Aviarctin are considered Threat Lv1 Tempered Monsters and have the usual changes of a Tempered monster.

Hyper Aviarctin has the usual changes of a Hyper monster, but when enraged the winds of its snowstorm will also be stronger, first causing Iceblight and then Severe Iceblight if hunters stay still for too long. It will also be more difficult to get rid of the snowstorm. Hyper Aviarctin can reward Hyper Extracts and Hyper Feather+'s in High Rank and Potent Extracts and Hyper Plumefeathers in G-Rank.

## Mounts

Aviarctin has a mount animation similar to that of Malfestio and it can be mounted on its head and back.

Whenever Aviarctin is mounted on its head, the hunter will either be located in front of the crest on its head or on either side of its head. The Aviarctin will try to get hunters off by violently shaking its head around, either on the ground or in the air, by running and flying around and by slamming the side of its head into walls.

Whenever Aviarctin is mounted on its back, the hunter will be located somewhere on its back in between its wings. The Aviarctin will try to get hunters off by shaking its body, either on the ground or in the air, by running and flying around and by slamming the side of its body into walls.

## Ecology

### Taxonomy

* **Kingdom:** Animalia
* **Phylum:** Chordata
* **Class:** Aves
* **Order:** Accipitriformes
* **Family:** Dracoavidae
* **Genus:** *Dominopteryx*
* **Species:** *D. arcticus*

**Name Meaning:** Arctic Ruler Wing

Aviarctin is a member of the Bird Wyvern class together with his female counterpart, Aviarcta. It's known to have a Subspecies named Sandstorm Aviarctin that inhabits arid regions and a Rare Species known as Infernal Aviarctin that inhabits volcanic regions which are also accompanied by a Subspecies and Rare Species of Aviarcta respectively. Rare, special individuals have also been discovered and are known as Arcane Aviarctin.

### Habitat Range

Aviarctin are known to almost exclusively inhabit arctic environments and 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 Frozen Cliffs, Alpine Peaks, Gelid Ocean, White Plateau, Mount Calamity and Glittering Forest.

### 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 and 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 eat as fast as possible from the corpse or try to take the corpse away before the mate arrives.

### Biological Adaptions

Aviarctin have evolved large wings which they can utilize to both agilely fly through the air and cause strong gusts of cold wind. Aviarctin have also developed the ability to shoot icy blasts at foes and are capable of breathing out cold air which can quickly freeze foes in place if they're not careful. Their large beaks allow them to easily take down prey and is still capable of causing wounds on threats. Their talons are especially sharp and are capable of causing deep wounds which can quickly start bleeding if the one's scratched are not careful.

### 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 fight each other to have the rights of a mate. When the Aviarctin has a mate, the Aviarctin will be the one that protects the eggs and takes care of them, but will sometimes go to hunt together with the Aviarcta or without it, for example when the Aviarcta is resting. The two of them will stay together until their young are old enough to fend for themselves at which point the pair will leave their young and stay together.

## Notes

* Aviarctin's roar requires Earplugs to block.
* Aviarctin causes winds with many of its attacks and movements which don't cause Windblight. These winds require Windproof (High) to be blocked.
* Aviarctin can be blinded by Flash Bombs and Flashbugs for a short while which can also get it to land on the ground if it was airborne.
* Aviarctin can be affected by Sonic Bombs and Screamer Pods, but the effect isn't as strong as those of Flash Bombs and Flashbugs and it can only be affected when it isn't enraged. This can however cause it to come crashing out of the air instead of just landing if it was airborne.
* Whenever Aviarctin is tired it will try to find a carcass and eat from it to regain Stamina.
* In High Rank and above, there's a chance of Aviarctin being encountered with an Aviarcta. This chance keeps increasing as hunters climb up the ranks and maxes out at a 50% chance.
* Aviarctin doesn't have its own theme and instead uses the theme of the area it's located in.

## Trivia

* Aviarctin is based on *Argentavis* and eagles.
* Aviarctin's Japanese name is based on the Japanese words for arctic, eagle and aquila.
