What are Fanged Wyverns?
Fanged Wyverns (Japanese 牙竜種) are a class of monster first introduced in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. They are known for being Fanged Beast-like Wyvern monsters.

Zinogre

 * Zinogre like the taste of Bird Wyvern meat and prefer to hunt for small Bird Wyverns, such as Gargwa.
 * Zinogre also feed on Aptonoth and Kelbi
 * They were considered to be a rare monster until Amatsu kicked them off the Sacred Pinnacle, causing them to become common around Yukumo Village.
 * Zinogre raise their young in groups for protection from predators and by working together. The young have more hair on their bodies, compared to adults, and shell to speed up the storage of electricity, along with protect them from shocks. This fur will shed as the juvenile matures into adulthood.
 * The Zinogre in the Heaven's Mount and Misty Peaks are the same species due to Yukumo Village also being within the Siki Country somewhere.
 * Their hair helps them charge up electricity and store it. Their shell stores lightning like Lagiacrus but, in their legs and holds larger amounts the Thunder Element. The hair and shell on the young are underdeveloped so they can't do this yet.
 * The legs of Zinogre are large and strong because, they use them to climb steep mountains.
 * A single hit from Zinogre's claws will kill prey in a single powerful blow.
 * When it uses the Thunderbugs to charge, it will charge up and use electricity beyond its normal limits. When it has gotten enough, its spikes will erect and release the energy from its body. Its power is nearly on par with Lagiacrus and it discharges a lot from its body.
 * While Fully Charged, its strength and speed increase, however, parts on its body are more susceptible to attacks now.
 * The reason why Thunderbugs gather around Zinogre is for protection against Gargwa and their relationship is mutual.

Frontier Series

 * Zinogre has been identified as a Exotic Species, part of a new quest type by the Guild. Hunters with special skills are allowed to hunt it in a Exotic Quest.

Thunderlord Zinogre

 * These Zinogre have actually been told about in local legends, being called Thunder Wolf Wyvern Kings. From a gold appearance being apart of these legends, the Hunter's Guild gave it the title, Thunderlord.
 * Thunderlord Zinogre are unusual Zinogre that are able to hold more lightning inside their body than usual. Thunderlord Zinogre are said to be harboring a lightning of another level beyond a normal Zinogre's lightning.
 * This lightning even greatly effects the Thunderbugs it summons.
 * It is able to release the lightning in ways other Zinogre can't.
 * When its Thunderbugs are fired at enemies, they actually continue to shock the ground to prevent enemies from passing easily.
 * The Hunter's Guild recommends taking a different approach when facing one of these Zinogre. It is said that these Zinogre fight pretty differently from normal Zinogre.
 * The horns, hair, and shell of Thunderlord Zinogre continues to glow gold, even if the monster itself is dead.
 * Lightning even continues to crackle on those parts as well.
 * Due to Thunderlord Zinogre truly harnessing and mastering the Thunder Element, they are sometimes referred to as the True Awakening.

Stygian Zinogre

 * They are very similar to the normal ones except their black-red in color. Their color is said to be from the Dragon Element.
 * Its unknown why those Dragonbugs gather around Stygian Zinogre but, is said to be a similar reason to Zinogre's Thunderbugs.
 * The Dragonbugs keep Stygian Zinogre warm and cool in areas.
 * Some Stygian Zinogre in the Volcano are much stronger than the ones in the Tundra due to higher populations of the Dragonbugs in the area and from being older but, during certain seasons their just like the ones in the Tundra.
 * They seem to have lost their natural Thunder resistance over time after using these different bugs.
 * The Stygian Zinogre are wanderers can be found in many different environments.
