General Notes

• Velociprey are closely related to three other species of Bird Wyvern: Giaprey, Genprey and Ioprey. These minions first appeared in the original Monster Hunter, except for Giaprey, which appeared in Monster Hunter 2.
• Velociprey are arguably the most common raptor species, appearing in the Jungle, Forest and Hills, Great Forest and Old Swamp.
• Although Velociprey don't appear in Monster Hunter 3, they are mentioned in the description for Bird Wyvern Fang; allegedly a Velociprey Fang is very similar to that item.
• It has been observed that Velociprey will actively attack a Rathian when in close proximity.
• Velociprey have a total of 14 fingers, with seven fingers on each hand. This is the same for the Giaprey.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

• In Freedom-2 and Unite, it is possible to "erase" these monsters (and the other 'prey monsters) if you score a killblow with a cutting weapon while they are in mid-air during their high leaping attacks. This will cause them to become sliced clean in half and their remains will instantly fade away, leaving no corpse behind.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

• The "erasing" secret from Freedom-2/Unite was not carried over.

Monster Hunter Frontier

• Velociprey can be found in the Snowy Mountains.
