Velociprey

  Velociprey  are a very common raptor-like species of Bird Wyvern. They have blue scales with black stripes, and a dull red and black monocrest on the top of their heads. These carnivorous monsters travel in packs and inhabit many different environments.

A pack of Velociprey is lead by a large, aggressive alpha male known as the Velocidrome.

An experienced hunter should have no problems dealing with a pack of Velociprey, though a hunter unfamiliar with them will have some trouble with their swift movements and quick attacks. Velociprey are capable of leaping great distances, making them difficult to flee from, especially when delivering eggs and large ores. They will, on occasion, be slashed in two when struck by a strong weapon (such as a fully charged Greatsword) or when sliced in midair (eg. Longswords). When this happens, the Velociprey will disappear when it lands, and it cannot be carved.
