I saw how you added that on the page. just so you know, I'm not mad or anything, I'd just like to share my thoughts. I mean, you seem like a respectable member of the wiki.

about how I added that it doesn't count towards the "seen it all achievement", though you're going to have to take my word for it, when I got the achievement I instantly went to see if scarred was counted as I was curious to wether it's a variant, without hunting anything else before checking. I had hunted over 30 variants if I included scarred garuga, and exactly 30 if I didn't include garuga.

If you're willing to believe me, wich you might not, I'm just one stranger on the internet, I think that sound be enough reason to not count him as a variant. the developers deliberately excluded him from counting towards the variant achievement.

outside of that, it just makes sense for him not to be a true variant, gameplay-wise, even though he fits the description ecology-wise, but some other non-variants do too, such as black diablos.

the game never states him as being a variant, he has one unique material, no unique equipment, he shares his research level with normal garuga, he acts as tempered garuga, and he only has two new attacks, all of those unlike variants in iceborne.

I'll leave it for you to decide though... mostly because if I were to change it to my liking, we'd end up in an infinite editing war. i don't think we want that.
