Hook-Tailed Cliff Wyvern
Evolved from A. deserta, due to competition and predation from their descendants they started to specialize to feed on P. cliffteus. To adapt to feed on sides of cliffs they developed more hook-like talons and a hook on the tip of their tail(originated from bone which got exposed due to a mutation gene which was selected as it allows for an extra hook if their talons were blunt from scraping on rocks). They also developed primitive eardrums on the side of their head which allows them to hear sound vibrations from predators (D.gatoeidius and D. volturcephalus).
Found in zone G, they get up to 1.6 feet long while having a 3 meter long wingspan. They can fly for 3-4 hours and can hover/glide without moving their wings but still moving forward to gain a slight amount of stamina before flying forward again. They specialized to feed on P.cliffteus specifically the leaves and the roots, however they will still occasionally feed on dead carcasses,D. cendra, D. desertus, D. flitzanius, P. akakius, P.thamnos, H. noncortexus, A. chloodus and A. paralius when theres no P.cliffteus to eat. They fly in flocks of 2-4(they are able to fly in larger groups due to the higher concentration of food and better protection as a larger group means the harder it is to pick off one member as the other 3 would come and defend the attacked victim from the predator). They drink water from zone 17.
Males have bright azure blue with sand-yellow colored scales while females are sand pale colored.
When breeding during autumn males would build their nest above the plateaus instead of the ground(as it is safer to nest on the top of plateaus and have easy access to their main food source, P.cliffteus). These males try to attract a female in their nest by showing off their bright feathers. Nest are not build far away but near each other (as it is easier for females to spot nests and easier to protect their nest in groups from D.volturcephalus). Rival males would sometimes try to steal each others' nests but the owner usually defends it extremely well(fights break of easily but it is not fatal but their feathers would be very messy and fine due to their bitter fighting).When a female comes to a nest the male does a display to her which the female decides if he is suitable as a mate. when a female accepts the male they mate.
Females lays up to 4-7 eggs(only 4-5 survive due to rare occurrences of D. volturcephalus raiding nests but most of the time all chicks survive ). When young hatch the parents feed the young until they are subadult which they make them learn how to fly and hunt first then chase them off to fend for themselves.
