Jaggi

Jaggi are young male members of the Jaggi family, a Bird Wyvern subspecies, and something of a parallel to the "Prey" species of other regions, though notably smaller in size. At this stage in development, Jaggi are mostly orange, with blue foreclaws, back-stripe, and head-frills, and with cream-colored underbellies. Their tails are barbed along the length of the appendage, and they sport sizable frills sprouting from behind their jaws.

Other members of the Jaggi family include the larger female Jaggia, and the pack-leading alpha male Great Jaggi.

Though Jaggi and their kin display a higher functioning level of cooperation than other Raptors, Jaggi are often easily dealt with, even for novice hunters. This is due, in part, to their boisterous nature; Jaggi will often spend just as much time vocalizing bark-like warnings against intruders as they will attacking them.

Other features of note:
 * Jaggi are possessed of an even more springy nature than their jump-happy "Prey" cousins: They jump more often than and higher (proportional to their bodies) than "Prey" species, sometimes for no reason. When hit, and especially when dealt a killing blow, Jaggi will fly into the air in an exaggerated arc, even when struck by a half-hearted hunting kick.
 * Jaggi are naturally afraid of fire and will not attack a player holding a torch. This can be used to make gathering when surrounded seamless. If struck twice by torch-attacks, Jaggi will flee, leaving the map entirely. This can sometimes prove a quicker way of evacuating a map full of Jaggi than actually slaying the group. Jaggia respond identically to torches.warning this does't not work on some us copies of game i found they will leave but come back in a minute or 2 trust this method at own risk
 * Jaggi can and will be summoned (repeatedly!) by Great Jaggi and Qurupeco.
