Kulu-Ya-Ku
Type	Large monster Bird Wyvern		Threat lv	2 / 10
Element	—		Status	—
Weak	Water		Resist	—

Introduction

Description: A bird wyvern that has developed limbs capable of carrying objects. It has been spotted stealing eggs from nests. If attacked while carrying an egg, it will drop the egg in fright and flee. When engaged, a Kulu-Ya-Ku will dig up a small boulder to shield itself against threats or use it in its attacks.

Hunter tips: A Kulu-Ya-Ku uses small boulders to shield itself or smash against its enemies. Force it to drop whatever it's holding by staggering or blinding it, or if it's holding a cracked boulder, attack it to break it.

Habitats: Shrine Ruins, Sandy Plains, Flooded Forest, Lava Caverns, Jungle
