Flying Wyverns (Japanese: 飛竜種 Hiryūshu) are large, bipedal monsters that have two wings that were first introduced in the First Generation. Known for their mastery of flight, a majority of the monsters in this classification have evolved powerful wings that allow them to fly.[1] However, some Flying Wyverns are quadrupedal, utilizing their wings as forearms to further enhance their movements on land, while other members in this class are flightless, or even wingless despite their classification. In the other hand, some winged ones are less capable of sustained flight.[2]

Flying Wyverns make up a large majority of the monsters in the Monster Hunter franchise.

Notes[]

  • There are no new Flying Wyverns in the Monster Hunter Orage series.
  • Remobra was previously a Flying Wyvern in the Second Generation of Monster Hunter Series before being reclassified as a Snake Wyvern in the later generations.
  • Unknown (Black Flying Wyvern) was initially an Unclassified Monster upon its debut, and officially classified as a Flying Wyvern later into the life of Monster Hunter Frontier.
    • Although Mi Ru's classification was never explicitly confirmed, the Flying Wyvern Slayer of Sigil Skill are effective for it, so can be confirmed that it is a Flying Wyvern.
  • Although Espinas and Flaming Espinas originated in the Frontier Generation series, they were introduced globally in a Fifth Generation Monster Hunter game.
  • Halks are friendly Flying Wyverns.
  • Some monsters are casually called "Flying Wyverns" like some Bird Wyverns, for example.[3]
  • In Monster Hunter: World, two species of Endemic Life, the Scalebat and Gold Scalebat, are mentioned to be very small Flying Wyverns.
  • Akantor, Ukanlos, and Odibatorasu all have vestigial wings, meaning wing bones likely exist in their bodies but are tiny and unused due to evolution. Poborubarumu also has wings, though are too small to fly. The existence of these bones classify them as Flying Wyverns.
