Hello and welcome back hunters! This week's lesson will be on the brute wyvern, Brachydios. We will go over the characteristics, fighting style, and  ecology of Brachydios.

Brachydios is a member of  the brute wyvern family, brute wyverns are bipedal wyverns that prefer to pummel their prey with blunt, specialized body parts. Brachydios are azure in color with a green explosive slime that covers their forarms and horn. This slime comes from their mouth and explodes a few seconds after it leves contact with Brachydios's body.

Brachydios use this slime in battle, often times leaving pools of it on the ground after pounding attacks or throwing out explosive blast from their horn. They are surprisingly nimble for their size and will jump around in combat swinging away with their pounder forarms. If you're hit by Brachydios you will be coated in explosive slime, the best method of removing this slime is by rolling repeatively.

Brachydios live in volcanic regions. There they prey on Rhenopolos and other wyverns. They have been known to have territorial disputes with Agknaktor, a member of the leviathan wyvern family that also lives in volcanic regions.

That pretty much sums up Brachydios. Next lesson we will be covering Lagiacrus, a leviathan wyvern of the seas. Till next week be safe and hunt on.
