Qurupeco

Qurupeco is a Bird Wyvern first featured in Monster Hunter 3, and subsequently appearing in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. It has a collapsible trumpet-like crest, a large, inflatable red vocal sac, and a flat fan-like tail that turns red when it is enraged, bright green when fatigued and purple when poisoned.



Physical Appearance
The Qurupeco resembles a very large bird with Pterosaurus-like features, such as its fanged beak. It is well known to be a green bird with yellow overrides and notable scales on most joints. The Qurupeco has a short and stubby brown crest. The Qurupeco's beak stretches to the top of its head and the tip can be shaped like a gavel or a megaphone.

The Qurupeco also has a pair of nails which are both keratin and flint which sparks fire when they hit eachother. Its tail looks like a pedal, but shaped like the uchiwa fan (a type of Japanese fan) and the tips looks like a bud with the scaly features.

Qurupeco's feet seem to have only frontal digits of 3 on each foot. It can be considered to also have a back digit, but its stubby appearance makes it looks more like a heel. Its feet are also partially webbed.

General
It uses its masterful vocal mimicry abilities to summon aid from various monsters, as well as healing them and boosting their abilities. The Qurupeco's soft crest and throat sac makes the Qurupeco a very delicate monster.

Qurupeco's beak and flint-like wingtips can be broken for additional rewards at the end of a quest, such as Strange Beak and Flintstone, respectively.

When its vocal sac is inflated, it is susceptible to loud noises, much like the Yian Kut-Ku. This makes Sonic Bombs or objects that cause explosions effective at stopping some of its abilities, leaving the interrupted Qurupeco disoriented for a moment and causing it to drop an item.
