Giadrome and Giaprey (Cryornithosaurus dominum) are one of the fictional species of theropod bird wyvern from Monster Hunter Freedom and Monster Hunter Freedom 2.

Etymology

Giadrome and its minions are named from glacier, which is adapted to the mountains and polar regions. In Japanese name was ギアノス (gianosu), in conlang of Wyvernian: Gianodhe, means "fjord stripes".

Physical Appearance

These saurischian resemble dromaeosaurid dinosaurs. Giadrome and Giaprey are actually fur-like pycnofibres instead of scales, which protect from cold like snowy mountains to tundra. Both bluish stripes and light sky blue feathers for cold temperatures instead of scales were accurate, duller and dark yellow beak-like rostrums dull brownish belly, and greyish scales. The crest of giaprey was a dull peach and greyish black claws, while the Giadrome had a large bright cyan crest, claw on middle finger and large hook-like talon. Its appearance is very similar to Velocipreys, and it was sometimes confused by a flock of Velociprey. Their eye color was hazel.

Abilities

Giadrome and Giaprey are capable of spitting a frozen substance from a special sac and saliva altogether that can immobilize prey and foes alike.

Ecology

Giadrome is a reasonable predator, and can use its Giaprey to outflank a prey item such as any animals namely: elephants, rhinos, deer, tigers, hedgehogs, minks, weasels, butterflies, and even livestock. From the fur-like pycnofibres of Giadrome and Giaprey being white and blue, they are able to blend into the snow.


This allows it to hunt better in the cold. Giadrome and Giaprey can spit a freezing cold liquid at prey, but Giadrome modifies and spits better freezing saliva causing freeze. However, they can also fall prey on larger animals like Drakolossia, Kushala Daora, saber-toothed cats, tigers, baboons, and even Gowrow.

Behavior

The princess was never heard of as "A True Foe", behind the cold predatory pack of dinosaurs before being set. The Giadrome is quite territorial towards other monsters and other Giadrome and Giapreys. It travels alongside its pack and coordinates attacks using barks and calls.

Distribution and Habitat

Giaprey was located in snowy mountains, tundra, glaciers, subpolar, and even an ancient city called tower or skyscraper in ancient times. Giaprey didn't have own leader to live in this ancient gigantic tower made of Kushala Daora materials and considered an invasive species.

Both of them live in mountains to glaciers, including tundra and taiga in Monster Hunter universe. Like Gendrome, this monster was found in Tibet to Mongolia, even Lapland was very rare during the Silk Road.


Tamed

Giaprey can be tamed using fish, left by hunter for became ridable and some case, they grown up into Giadrome and calls non-tamed Giaprey as allies for their battle purpose. Giaprey, however, can pet from the single egg and hatching in hatchery or incubator made by wyverians and humans respectively.

Lore
