Khezu

Khezu is a species of Flying Wyvern often found in the cold dampness of caves. Spending most of their lives in the dark, Khezu's eyes have regressed greatly, though they make up for this with a superb sense of smell. A layer of fat helps to keep them warm and prolong the time they can spend hunting for food.



Khezus are hermaphrodites, which means an individual is both male and female. To reproduce they paralyze a creature and inject their young, known as Khezu Whelps. The Whelps grow inside their victim until it dies, or when they are strong enough to leave.

Although Khezu are cave dwellers, they go out when they please, or when food inside grows too scarce. While a Khezu outside a cave is vulnerable to larger Wyverns like Tigrex, inside caves the Khezu has the advantage. In addition to being unhampered by the dark, they can cling to the ceiling and attack from above.

The Khezu's habitat is often located near active sources of water; some sources claim this is because the water is excellent for conducting electricity into their prey, while others speculate that the Khezu may need the dampness for its moist skin.

Khezu are unusual in that, while they are classified as Flying Wyverns, their wings are rarely used for flight. Instead they prefer to use them for crawling across cave ceilings.
