"This week we look at the reptilian bird wyvern that is literally a flower, Pukei-Pukei!"

Um... what?

Anyway, I really don't know what to think of this thing. I'm still not keen on it being a bird wyvern when its only resemblance to birds is its feathers (and perhaps its zygodactyl feet). For another thing, I think it looks far too goofy for my tastes - and this is coming from the guy that loves Qurupeco and Chameleos. I can't take this yellow-eyed, poison-farting, constantly-smiling gecko-dragon seriously. It constantly has this vacant, dumb expression on its face that makes it look... let's just say "out of it".

But on the positive, I do find the rest of its design pretty appealing, it looks pretty interesting to fight, and I like how well its design fits in with the Ancient Forest. The idea that it can use Scatternuts to change the composition of its poison is creative, too.
