The Tzitzi-Ya-Ku (Micarecristops paparazzi) is a fictional species of theropod and a Bird Wyvern first introduced in Monster Hunter: World.
Coming soon
A medium-sized theropod with navy blue and violet coloring is called Tzitzi-Ya-Ku. It possesses strong, muscular forelegs with three claws for catching prey, as well as long, powerful back legs. The pair of retractable frills that run either side of its head and are brilliant and boldly colored may be its most distinctive characteristic. It has broad, robust feet and a back covered with a series of small spines.
The fins on the sides of Tzitzi-Ya-Ku's head can shoot out brilliant bursts of light. This can be employed to confuse both attackers and prey, giving the monster the advantage in battle. Its strong hind legs can be used to kick opponents hard in combat. Tzitzi-Ya-Ku momentarily displays double the flash's range before unleashing its flash assault. While preparing the flash, the Master-Rank Tzitzi-Ya-Ku can adjust its course. The flash can be disabled by wounding Tzitzi-Ya-Ku's skull, however it still tries to use it.

The medium-sized predator Tzitzi-Ya-Ku preys on luminous coral, flying jellies, and raphinos while being low on the food chain. It frequently clashes with Shamos packs for territory and food because it primarily inhabits the lower reaches of the Coral Highlands. Stronger creatures including Paolumu, Rathian, Rathalos, Legiana, Odogaron, Zinogre, Namielle, Kushala Daora, Kirin, and Deviljho must be avoided in upper areas of the environment.
Tzitzi-Ya-Ku is a creature that has adapted long, razor-sharp claws on its hands and feet from the high elevations of the Coral Highland to help it scale cliffs. Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, like other theropods, has powerful legs that enable it to leap considerable distances. It also uses its foot claws to help it quickly seize prey before its victims have a chance to escape. It has evolved distinctive hues that help it blend into the background of its surroundings, enabling it to avoid conflicts with other species and avoid being seen by both prey and predators while it is in a vulnerable state, such as when it is resting.
Tzitzi-Ya-Ku possesses unique pulsing organs on its head that can blind adversaries if this camouflage isn't sufficient to protect it. These organs collect compounds that, when activated, generate light, most likely from the body's own bioluminescent microbes or from its diet of Flying Meduso and Luminescent Coral. It stimulates the substances by opening and closing, expanding and contracting, its pulsing organs before reflecting light on the membrane's film to create a blinding flash of light. Although it will also use its strong flash to target larger predators, it usually employs it to hunt Raphinos.
The Tzitzi-Ya-Ku frequently flashes monsters nearby before escaping. This infamous habit can be highly inconvenient since it causes interruptions to hunters and monsters that are engaged in combat, even if neither party had previously targeted or annoyed the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku.
The Tzitzi-Ya-Ku are native to the Coral Highlands, and their remains are frequently discovered there in the graveyard zone biome.
In Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku inhabit temperate, tropical, subtropical, and Mediterranean marshes. Additionally, they are primarily found in chaparrals, cliffs, and waterless coral reefs. From the Monster Hunter series, this species was mentioned by Tony Stark (Iron Man) and Norman Osborn (Green Goblin). Arishem "made" the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku and the Kulu-Ya-Ku for the Earth.

The Kulu-Ya-Ku were tranquilized by bullets and made unconscious, feed it while unconscious and used narcotics to continuously overdose. The Kulu-Ya-Ku are immediately domesticated when they hatch from an egg because the survivor is always within 17 radii of the hatching egg. If the Kulu-Ya-Ku isn't already tamed, you can train it with a whip for whipped, or eating some eggs.
Since the survivor is always within 16 radii of the hatching sac, the Kulu-Ya-Ku are automatically domesticated when they hatch from an egg.
Little is known about the finding of Tzitzi-Ya-Ku before the events of Historya Davvun, Seven Code Talkers, No Way to Seaway, Weather Dragons, and the birth of Rino Barillari. Tzitzi-Ya-Ku's origin was hidden. on Australia, Colombia, Ecuador, South Korea, Japan, the Solomon Islands, Mindanao, Sulawesi, France, Spain, Andorra, Algeria, and Maine, Tzitzi-Ya-Ku was widespread on air-breathing coral reefs as well as open spaces like deep forests, cloud forests, bamboo forests, and limestone forests.
