In-Game Information

Taxonomy

A true Flying Wyvern, it has strong legs and wings. Like it's cousin Berukyurosu, it has developed long quill-like appendages on it's wings and legs. It has developed the ability to harness the dragon element, but it is unknown how it does this.

Habitat Range

While its cousin Berukyurosu lives in the arid Gorge and Tower. Doragyurosu has adapted to living in the far colder and much more treacherous Snowy Mountains as well as the temperate, plant rich Highland. Its mane is a pure white color to help it blend in with the snow and ambush prey from a distance, using its long quills or dragon blast to kill it. Recently these wyverns have been spotted at the Great Forest Peak.

Ecological Niche

Like Berukyurosu, Doragyurosu is a super predator high up in the food chain. It does indeed compete with Tigrex and Rajang, just like Berukyurosu, but replacing the Orange Espinas and Pariapuria as other competitors are Kushala Daora and Blangonga. Like all mountain carnivores, Doragyurosu loves to eat Popo, Anteka, Giaprey, Blango, Bullfango and Bulldrome, and maybe the occassional Khezu if it's lucky enough to find one out in the open. In the Highland, there is much less competition so there is more than enough native Burukku and Erupe there for it to feed on. Only the Gurenzeburu and Dyuragaua hunt there with it. Recently a new species of Leviathan known as Kuarusepusu have been discovered inhabiting the Highland along with feirce wyverns  RathalosRathian, and Hyujikiki showing that Doragyurosu have more powerful competitors in the Highland than previously thought.

Biological Adaptations

The mane of Doragyurosu is pure white and perfectly used for camouflage when hiding in the snow from prey, hunters, or competitors waiting for the right time to ambush and attack with a great dragon blast or the long ribbon like quills on its wings and hips. Just like Berukyurosu, they are specialist fliers, likely able to fly through blizzards with ease and use them as cover.

Behavior

Like most carnivorous Flying Wyverns Doragyurosu are highly territorial and won't tolerate intruding predators near their nests or lairs. These wyverns are fearsome fighters using their sharp grasping talons, dagger-like teeth, and powerful Dragon Element attacks with deadly intent. Many experienced hunters have been killed when battling these deadly predators.
