Pukei-Pukei
Type	Large monster Bird Wyvern		Threat lv	4 / 10
Element	—		Status	Poison
Weak	—		Resist	Water Dragon

Introduction

Description: A bird wyvern known to store toxins within its body. It uses its tongue like a whip and can stretch or shrink it at will, allowing it to grab up food. As a defense against threats, Pukei-Pukei have numerous toxic attacks. Keep an eye on both its mouth and tail!

Hunter tips: The regurgitation of a Pukei-Pukei varies depending on what it has eaten: it may spread wider, linger on on the ground, or even stun prey more easily. Check, therefore, that the monster's mouth and tail aren't swollen prior to engaging.

Habitats: Shrine Ruins, Sandy Plains, Flooded Forest
