Yian Garuga

The Yian Garuga is a Bird Wyvern, closely related to the Yian Kut-Ku and the Hypnocatrice. This Bird Wyvern is not only very different in physical aspects, but also very different in behavior, abilities and hunting strategies.

Yian Garuga have a striking purple colouration, large defensive spikes and extremely tough shells.

Abilities
Their tail spikes are toxic enough that one tail swipe can poison hunters. Yian Garuga is also unaffected by Sonic Bombs (unlike Yian Kut-Ku).

Behavior
Highly aggressive for a Bird Wyvern, Yian Garuga is known for attacking in a rapid, aggressive fashion similar to a Rathian.

Habitat
Yian Garuga's have only been observed so far in the Jungle, Gorge, Great Forest, Forest and Hills, and Unknown Sea of Trees.

Hard Core (HC) Yian Garuga
HC Yian Garuga has a poison stained beak, more spikes on its tail and new attacks including: releasing a mist of poison during a tail flip; screaming extremely loud while charging at a target; screaming while jumping into the air and spitting 3 fire balls directly bellow.
