Indeed. I kinda underestimated it by thinking it was a 1:1 Jade Barroth clone (at least one that traded the snow armor for projectiles), but it seems that, even for a simple Brute Wyvern, it has at least a few cool attacks to differentiate it from its relatively distant relative.

Also...

"Because it is highly territorial, we wanted to define it in a way that makes sense that it’s tangling with a bunch of other species,” Fujioka says. “We designed it in a way that not only does it appear in Hoarfrost Reach, but it makes sense to have it in other areas as well."

Ah, the classic trend of Brute Wyverns being aggressive beasts that charge at foes. I will genuinely want it to keep going.

Also, can't wait to see what other areas it appears in. I can only think either the Coral Highlands or Elder's Recess would make sense for it...
