Great Leonopteryx

The great leonopteryx is a species of airborne predatory animals native to Pandora. Scientifically, it is known as Leonopteryx rex.

The leonopteryx is closely related to the banshee, with many similarities and differences. The leonopteryx is primarily colored red and yellow, with black stripes and blue crests on the top of the head and under its lower jaw. The crest on its head is razor sharp and can be used to injure prey, or cut vegetation obstructing flight. 

 Leonopteryx are difficult to locate. However, some have been sighted in the Hallelujah Mountains.  Primarily, the great leonopteryx travels alone and occasionally in pairs. However, unlike the mountain banshee, they have never been observed in a swarm.
