Hyphian

The Hyphian is a creature in MT.

Physiology / Appearance
The Hyphian is a triphibian. This means it is built for the water, in the sky and the land. It possesses frog-like hands on it's wings, allowing it to use it's wings as forelegs. It's wings also allow it to move very quickly when moving quadrupedally. It's body is streamlined and smooth, helping it move through both the air and the water. It's got claws similar to an eagle's to grab prey.

It has elf-like ears, and horns it uses for both ramming and it's primary hunting method. It can use it's horns to send out signals that meddle with the victim's brain.

Behavior
The Hyphian is an intelligent creature. It is docile when it is not hungry, in a bad mood or provoked. It is an omnivore, but prefers meat, only eating plants when it has no other choice. It has 2 methods of hunting.


 * 1) It will wait for a moment to strike, and then attack the prey. If it is a smaller monster, it'll likely fly it to it's nest and eat it there. If it does not succeed using this method, it will use the second method.
 * 2) It will either start with this method or try the other method first. It will hide from it's prey, then use it's hypnosis to either put the victim into a deep sleep, mesmerize it, or, rarely, when the Hyphian feels lazy, it will make the victim approach the Hyphian.
