Green Nargacuga are Flying Wyverns and Subspecies of Nargacuga introduced Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
Physiology[]
This subspecies is covered in mossy green fur. Its long, prehensile tail ends in a bright red spike, and its eyes are a bright yellow.
Abilities[]
Although the Green Nargacuga is very fast and agile like the common Nargacuga, it is capable of more advanced movements and attacks. While it has many of the same abilities as the common Nargacuga, its true ferocity becomes apparent when it's enraged. It can perform a tail slam, then jump and smash again in an attempt to hit the hunter. Like the regular smash, it leaves it vulnerable while it tries to pry its tail free. Its tail slam is guaranteed to stun a hunter if it connects, making it particularly dangerous.
Behavior[]
Green Nargacuga are highly aggressive and bloodthirsty, and it will achieve whatever ends to get its prey.
Habitat[]
It resides in the Misty Peaks, the Deserted Island, and the Flooded Forest.
