My concept for an aquatic inspired brute wyvern for Monster Hunter. I plan to draw weapons and armor for them later
Kuchez Bala, the Bullet Wyvern
Kuchez Bala is a highly territorial brute wyvern that calls the Coral Highlands their home. With their unique hammer-like appendages, a Kuchez Bala will surprise prey with powerful strikes at bullet-like speeds. This is not their only trick though, as a Kuchez Bala can further their punching ability by rubbing their arms on their furry belly, coating them in a nitroglycerin-like secretion. This coating allows them to fire explosive bubbles when punching or swiping at high speeds. In the rare situation where a Kuchez Bala is feeling threatened, they will attempt a quick escape by sliding across the ground on their belly. This not only allows them to move quickly, but will also coat the ground in their explosive secretion in which they will then trigger a reaction by striking the ground behind them violently with their heavy tail.
