Coral Pukei-Pukei is a Bird Wyvern and a Subspecies of Pukei-Pukei first introduced in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
Physiology[]
Coral Pukei-Pukei retains most of its characteristics from Pukei-Pukei. However, Coral Pukei-Pukei sports bright orange coloring on its face, feet, and front wing claws. These turn red when it becomes enraged. The rest of its body has a pinkish-red tint to it while its underbelly and tail tip are violet.
Behavior and Abilities[]
While the Pukei-Pukei utilizes poison, the Coral Pukei-Pukei uses water as its main element of attack. Coral Pukei-Pukei is able to store high concentrations of water in its tail by drinking the sponge-like plants that lie in the Coral Highlands. By doing this, it is then able to shoot out jets of high pressurized water beams at hunters. It is also capable of doing this from its mouth by eating various plants. In addition to this, it can also throw out globs of water balls at hunters from its mouth.
Unlike Pukei-Pukei, Coral Pukei-Pukei is more aggressive with its attacks. It is also shown to be able to use its tail far more effectively than Pukei-Pukei when attacking hunters.
