In-Game Information
Unknown.
Taxonomy
Dyuragaua is classified as a Pseudowyvern, a lesser class inside the bigger Flying Wyvern classification. It's loosely related to Tigrex, Pariapuria, Barioth and similar monsters.
Habitat Range
This dangerous, mongoose like pseudo-wyvern was first found in the Nest Hole but has also been found in the Highland. There have also been reported sightings at the Gorge, though no group of hunters has been able to find a specimen there yet.
Ecological Niche
Dyuragaua is likely a super predator and a rather intelligent one, much like many other wyverns. They prefer to avoid competition, which probably explains how it avoided human contact for so long in the Nest Hole at the Tower, but since they have now been seen in areas like the Gorge and Highland, showing that many of these explored habitats could have many unknown large creatures that are yet to be discovered. Dyuragaua have to compete with other large predators such as Silver Rathalos, Gold Rathian, Orange Espinas, Tigrex, Rajang, Berukyurosu, and some Elder Dragons. Yet these Wyverns are no pushovers as Dyuragaua have been seen attacking Berukyurosu in the Gorge and making the powerful electric Wyverns retreat from such confrontations. Dyuragaua are also capable of hunting Kirin as their speed, strength, tenacity, along with their powerful ice attacks can prove to be deadly towards the smaller Elder Dragons. Dyuragaua may also come into contact with the recently discovered Nargacuga Rare Species but most likely avoid confronting them as the Wyvern's toxic tail spikes can do serious damage as Dyuragaua are extremely vunerable to poisons.
Biological Adaptations
Dyuragaua has primarily green scales to camoflage itself in the area around the tower. It has small spikes to use for intimidation, or for attracting potential mates. Its claws are used to climb up walls, and to grasp its prey. Its teeth are its secondary weapons, which are straight and are only used for puncturing, not for holding onto prey. It has a great sense of smell, like other Psuedo-Wyverns.
Dyuragaua has glands which expel an extremely cold fluid under the scales of its head, arms and tail. It's been theorised that, when it gets enraged, its body temperature increases greatly and so it must expel said substance to cool down and prevent death by heat stroke. The spikes in its tail are charged with sedating poison, which gets released in the form of a blue gas by slamming it hard enough.
Behavior
Dyuragaua is a powerful predator in the Tower. It leaves its Nest Hole to hunt, and returns after catching and eating prey to rest. It is very territorial and will fight for its land, as seen when hunters stumble into the Nest Hole. Dyuragaua will fiercely defend its own young like any wyvern. It is yet unknown if Dyuragaua will pair up to raise their young, but it is unlikely due to their need for enormous quantities of food. They also seem to be naturally aggresive and unafraid; they have been witnessed to attack Berukyurosu in the Gorge - the outcome of said battle was the retreat of the Berukyurosu, itself a very powerful predator. It never ventures to the top of the tower because of the threat of an encounter with the Elder Dragons that reside there. It likely uses its claws to deal a slash at its victim, but if its victim doesn't die it will use its jaws to kill it. If its prey is too far away, it will blast with an ice attack to stun it.
