Fiercewater Nargacuga are Special Species of Nargacuga introduced in Monster Hunter Explore.
Physiology[]
They have primarily deep blue fur with a small gray tuft on their backs with orange underbellies and mostly dark gray limbs, they also have white tipped ears and dark grey beaks. Their arms have a few sandy beige spikes on them and their wing blades are larger and segmented into sharp vent like structures with sandy beige spikes and blades of the same color on the ends, they also have light blue membranes with white edges connecting them. Their tails also split apart near the end with sandy beige sword-like blades with a few nozzle-like openings on the ends between where it splits.
Abilities[]
Fiercewater Nargacuga share the extreme agility and strength of normal Nargacuga but are more adept at throwing their tail spines. It creates water splash with its pounce attack, which inflicts Soaked Status Ailment (Reworked Waterblight in Monster Hunter Explore, which nullifies all Armor Skills). Its pounce attack is faster than regular Nargacuga. It could also charge up the wing to further speed up the pounce attack. Before it uses the tail slam, it will charge up its tail, allowing it to create huge water splash alongside the tail slam, inflicting Soaked Status Ailment. Its 360 degree spin attack is always accelerated, the tail also creates a water slash wave that can inflict Soaked Status Ailment.
Behavior[]
Fiercewater Nargacuga retain the cunning and aggressive behavior of normal Nargacuga, though to a higher degree on the aggression.
Habitat[]
Its only known habitat is the Deserted Island.
