Espinas
Type	Large monster Flying Wyvern		Threat lv	7 / 10
Element	Fire		Status	Fire Poison Paralysis
Weak	Ice		Resist	Fire Thunder

Introduction

Description: Flying Wyverns known for the red spikes on their tough green frame, forming both a means of attack and defense, thus generally keeping foes at bay. As a result, they are often seen sprawled out and relaxing in their domain. Once they sense danger, however, they expand their blood vessels to turn their hide and wing membranes a bright red, and they will run riot with noteworthy brutality.

Hunter tips: Their breath attacks are particularly annoying, inflicting poison, paralysis, and fireblight. Make sure you have resistance skills and ailment recovery items at the ready before the hunt. Espinas run riot with charge attacks when enraged, but the increased blood flow softens their flesh, so lay on the pain when you get the chance!

Habitats: Shrine Ruins, Jungle, Citadel
