Description
Arkveld is a large quadruped monster covered in grayish white scales, white fur and armor plating. It has ram-like horns on each side of its head curving downward in a manner of tusks, a thick armored tail, a large plated lower jaw and a mouth full of sharp teeth. Its head has a plating that appears like a head armor. Its feet have two toes facing forward and backwards like zygodactyl. Similar to Berukyurosu, Arkveld's main feature are its clawed wings which have huge armored chain-like tendrils attached to them which can extend and retract at will. Unlike in Berukyurosu, where its "chains" are made out of elongated wing fingers, Arkveld's tendrils are made of two strands of tendon lined with arrays of bony structures attached to its wrists. Its wing membranes are relatively small and are also covered in white fur. Despite this, it is still capable of flight. Its body structure is similar to that of Seregios.
