 * Dinovaldo is a recently discovered species of Brute Wyvern found living in the Ancient Forest.
 * They've also be sighted in the volcanic regions and desert regions.
 * It gets the title, Cutting Wyvern, from its huge blade-like tail.
 * Dinovaldo is a predator that doesn't let its prey run away or escape easily.
 * Similar to Brachydios, Dinovaldo is able to jump quite well and is agile.
 * On the back of its legs are two claws used to support its weight as it lands.
 * Inside Dinovaldo's body is a special fire sac different from other fire sacs. This fire sac allows Dinovaldo to hold fire in its throat, allowing it to burn prey with its powerful bites. This fire sac also allows Dinovaldo to breath some usual fiery projectiles at prey. These projectiles can explode on contact though can be left to detonate on their own, while on the ground.
 * When this fire sac heats up greatly, Dinovaldo's spikes will and other parts will turn red as they smoke with heat.
 * Dinovaldo's most unique feature is its blade-like tail. The blade-like tail is used in many ways by Dinovaldo such as keeping Dinovaldo's whole body balanced but its primary use is for attacking. This tail can cut prey in two with a single slash, crack the ground easily, and even block some attacks.
 * Dinovaldo's tail is made up of many pyroclastic materials such as ore. By rubbing or dragging its tail on the ground violently, it actually heats up its tail greatly. While its tail is heated up, its tail swings send burst of fire and fiery explosions from its tail, making its already deadly tail more deadly. **While heated up, its tail can slice through prey like butter.
 * Though its tail is more deadly while heated up, Dinovaldo's tail actually becomes dull more quickly. When a Dinovaldo's tail is heated or dull, the tail actually becomes more vulnerable to attacks from threats. To solve this problem, Dinovaldo has evolved a unique behavior. It will actually put its tail in its mouth, between four specially designed fangs, before slowly sharpening its blade-like tail. This restores the tail's sharpness and makes it brand new again, ready to be used in another battle.
 * The hard shell covering Dinovaldo's face protects its eyes from sparks as it sharpens.
