Velocidrome is a Bird Wyvern introduced in Monster Hunter.
Physiology
The large, bright red crest over its blue hide signifies to other Velociprey that it is fit to be their leader.
Abilities
Due to its usual weak physical strength, Velocidrome are forced to group up into packs whilst hunting.
Behavior
Velocidrome acts as the leader of the Velociprey, taking responsibility of the pack. Velocidromes sometimes prefer two leaders in a pack because it improves the hunting strength of the pack and they can split into two groups for hunting.
Habitat
They can usually be found in the Forest and Hills, Jungle, Old Jungle, Dawnwind Valley and Everwood regions.
Other Non Subspecies Forms
Hard Core (HC) Velocidrome

A Hard Core version of Velocidrome appears in Monster Hunter Frontier Season 10, with improved attacks and a new look making it the most powerful of the Dromes in the series. Aesthetic differences include red eyes, hooked beak, a different shaped crest and drooling when in Rage mode. New attacks include a spinning bite followed by tailwhip, a side-to-side jumping body-tackle and super jumping that causes small dust covers and small rocks popping up showing it is breaking the ground as it jumps. (Requires Quake resist +2 to escape).
SR100 HC Velocidrome is well known for killing hunters in one hit in even 600 defense.

Notes
General Notes
- Velocidrome and its minions are named after a really famous dinosaur, the Velociraptor.
- Among the raptorial Bird Wyverns, only Velocidrome and Gendrome have no breath attack.
- Velocidrome does not appear in Monster Hunter Tri, but a similar role is played by Great Jaggi, a raptorial Bird Wyvern that can summon younger individuals of the same species.
- In its introduction Scene, the Velocidrome is seen to raise its head and roar to call on Velocipreys, but Velocidrome never does this in battle during 1st and 2nd generation games, until the 4th generation.
- Velocidrome was voted 154th place in the Hunters' Choice for Top Monster during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.[1]

- Velocidrome's elemental weakness has changed from Thunder to Ice.
- Velocidrome also has a new Pin Attack.
- It can be infected by the Frenzy Virus.
- It can now call on Velociprey during battle, whereas in previous games it could not.
Monster Hunter Frontier
- Velocidrome gains 3 new attacks in G rank. Super high speed charging, 5 new types of spit attacks and a combo jump in air > spit any of its 5 types of spit > land > crest uppercut attack that launches hunters.
