User blog comment:Cottonmouth255/Discussion of the Week: Avian Bird Wyverns/@comment-25033519-20141117234608

The two species of qurupeco are without a doupt my favorite bird wyverns, and definitely one of my all time favorite monsters. They just have so much personality to them with their attacks, and literally every aspect of their design; from their instrumental beak, to their flat tails, have an ecological purpose, which makes their designs that much more incredible. Not to mention they have extremly unique mechanics and still Crimson Qurupeco has so many differences from it's cousin.

Least favorite is definitely the Yian Kut-Ku's. I get that they're from the original game, but I just always found their design so awkward and out of place, what with their enormous head balanced by a super thin tail, and those years just stick out so much, at least in the way that they don't really suit a monster like it. Not to mention it has the laziest subspecies design ever, I mean seriously, it doesn't even look like MH4U gave it any new tricks to make it different. At the very least, it provides a good feed for Yian Garuga.

Birds are just so diverse, it's difficult to say what I'd like to see next. Owls, penguins, vultures, terror birds(PLZ Capcom!), the possibilities are endless! Bird wyverns (raptorial and avian) need more love!

I think it's fine the way it is, after all, it opens the oppurtunity for feathered raptors in future games.
