The best Brute Wyvern alongside Brachy ! Glavenus definitly is a great leader and a powerful foe !

He's got a amazing design ! I really like its color scheme, he looks both tough and smart. At first sight, his tail blew my mind because of how big it is !

Like the other three, his theme is awesome and it fits him very well.

The leader of the Fated Four is, without a doubt one of the best monster to fight ! I like to think that I'm facing another hunter because of his interesting gimmick and wide moveset. Even with that giant blade-like tail, Glavenus is really agile and lands pretty neat tail swipes and a powerful tail spin. I love how he's the only Wyvern who doesn't have the generic tail whip move while his fighting style mostly focuses on his tail. He can also shoot unique fire balls that explode similarly to Brachydios' slime. The fearsome Tail Blade Wyvern is a powerful opponent, but he's very smart as well, since he can sharpen his sword-like tail to make it deadlier. He can also heat his throat to do more fire damage.

Glavenus' equipment is pretty good in general. Although sharpness +1 got nerfed in Gen, his armor is nice. And his weapons are really cool and useful.

The leader of the Fated Four is a well designed monster with an unique and smart fighting style, a great music and good equipment overall. Abiorugu may have appeared sonner than Glavenus, but the latter is still more unique than this smaller, spikier Deviljho.
