Description
Bird wyverns with impressive beaks and large ears. They tend to be skittish but will sometimes initiate attacks on a perceived threat. Yian Kut-Ku arrive in large groups during the season of Plenty in the Scarlet Forest. The absence of eggs or young suggests that the purpose of this is not to breed, but rather to seek out mates and nourishment.

  • Yian Kut-Ku's weak spot is its mouth and its head is breakable, making a frontal assault your best bet to deal damage.
  • It will likely appear in a group, so use dung pods to disperse them. Dealing with multiple Yian Kut-Ku is a nightmare, as they're swift and can launch fiery projectiles.
  • Though its fireballs move quite slowly, they can pack a mean punch and set you on fire, so be ready to evade often.
