Taxonomy
Estrellian is a ??? recently discovered by the Guild. It was put into this class due to them not being able to identify what classification it is though research suggest that Estrellian are some type of Wyvern Species. Its only known relative thus far is the Estrellian Subspecies.

Habitat Range
Estrellian have only been seen inhabiting Esther Lake.

Ecological Niche
Estrellian are apex predators that have very little competition in their environment. Estrellian only have to compete with Yian Garuga and Gold Congalala in Esther Lake. In this area, they are able to hunt down prey such as Kelbi and Mosswine with ease.

Biological Adaptions
Estrellian get their title from their feather-like scales. These feather-like scales are usually hidden away by Estrellian until they become more and more active as they hunt down prey. To help them hunt more efficiently and become more active, Estrellian have an unusual relationship with insects known as Star Butterflies. These insects are attracted to a unique energy that Estrellian produce, that Estrellian use to manipulate them to do what the Estrellian wants. Estrellian can manipulate the Star Butterflies to act as armor to protect themselves from some attacks, swarm around prey, and even manipulate them to explode on impact to deal heavy damage to prey. An Estrellian's primary use for the Star Butterflies is to increase its own strength, agility, and activities in order to better allow it to hunt. To do so Estrellian will gather the insects to charge themselves up with the energy from them. This is very similar to how Zinogre use Thunderbugs to charge themselves up.

Behavior
Estrellian aren't very territorial monsters until fully charged by the Star Butterflies but are extremely aggressive when fully charged.
