Notes & Trivia

• These monsters are from the Fanged Wyvern species
• Tobi Kadachi is known as the "Flying Thunder Wyvern" 
• From Monster Hunter World: The Official Complete Works(lore/art book):
• The Tobi-Kadachi spends most of its days moving about is spacious territory among the treetops of the Ancient Forest and is rarely seen on the ground. Moving about the forest this way is beneficial to Tobi-Kadachi, as rubbing its body against trees allows it to build up static electricity in its fur. The monster's physical prowess and acrobatic skill make it possible to live a lifestyle that would make otherwise be very difficult in a dense forest habitat. Its speed and agility are unmatched by any monster in the Ancient Forest.
• A master tree climber like Tobi-Kadachi is made even more stealthy thanks to the gliding webbing located between its fore and hind legs. When moving about or hunting prey, the webbing masks the sound of its movements, letting it dart silently along the very edges of its prey's vision before moving in for the kill.
• Tobi-Kadachi accumulates static electricity by rubbing its fur coat against trees. When in conflict with an enemy, if the Tobi-Kadachi is excited it will ruffle its coat and release this charge throughout its body. In this charged state, the Tobi-Kadachi is capable of adding devastating electrical charges to its biting and tail attacks. Some have even suggested that these electrical impulses nay enhance its physical capabilities. While we know much about Tobi-Kadachi's hunting habits, reports of its eating habits are scarce. We believe this might be because Tobi-Kadachi is highly energy efficient and in addition to having a low metabolism, may be able to spend several days without feeding.
• Tobi-Kadachi's means of storing electricity comes from the countless needlelike electrodes dotting its fur. Usually hidden from view, these electrodes store up static electricity generated by Tobi-Kadachi's movements. When a certain amount of electricity is accumulated, Tobi-Kadachi's hair will stand on end, exposing the electrodes. The electricity arcing between them wraps the monster's entire body in a flickering pale-blue light. When attacking, Tobi-Kadachi presses these needles against its victim to electrocute them. These external electric shocks interfere with the victim's biological electric signals and often cause them to lose consciousness.
• A Tobi-Kadachi's tail is equal in length to and sometimes longer than its main body. It goes without saying that a larger tail means more surface area, which in turns gives the monster greater potential for electrical buildup and achieving its charged taste faster. Simply put, the stronger a Tobi-Kadachi is, the more well developed its tail will be. The scalesseen along the Tobi-Kadachi's back down to end of its tail are not unlike the tail feathers of a bird, and they becomes softer as they reach the end of the tail, allowing greater flexibility and static buildup.
• We don't have much information on their breeding habits, but we do know that they lead mainly solitary lives without forming social groups. Even though coupling behavior or juvenile Tobi-Kadachi have not been witnessed, it's been hypothesized that the size of a male Tobi-Kadachi's tail is directly proportional to its strength and plays a role in attracting a mate.
