Qurupeco Ecology

Disclaimer: This is merely a plausible explanation for the monster(s) in this article, and should not be considered canon.

Habitat Range
Island, Flooded Forest, Sandy Plains. Being a tropical bird, it does not prefer extreme heat (Volcano) or extreme cold (Tundra).

Ecological Niche
Qurupeco live very casual lives, as they face very little danger in any of their chosen habitats. They enjoy fishing and possibly foraging for plant life to eat.

Biological Adaptations
Qurupeco survive very well, despite having almost no camouflage. This is likely because they are much faster than larger wyverns, and most definitely because they can mimic the calls of the most fearsome predators. Because of this skill, Qurupecos face very little threat from smaller monsters, and can usually escape larger monsters. They have also developed flint-like growths on their wings, which they slam together to ignite their combustible mucous.

Behavior
Qurupecos enjoy having a wide range of habitats to live in. They usually are out foraging for food. When threatened, they are very cautious. They may either run or investigate the threat. If the threat appears to be too difficult for them to handle, they will use their giant air sack and unique beak to call for any nearby wyverns. They will use the arrival of the monster as an opportunity to escape. When pursued and cornered, they will dance about wildly; spitting mucous and using their flints to burn their assailants.
