Monster Classes

Type: Lynian / 獣人種
		Cat-Like Lynians:	Melynx, Felyne, Metaru, Goruru
		Humanoid Lynians:	Shakalaka, King Shakalaka, Cha-Cha, Kayamba, Uruki
		Lynians (Japanese: 獣人種 Jūjinshu, "Beastman species") are intelligent creatures, typically of short stature, that appear to be mammalian. Living in tribes, they share common cultures, dialects, and have recognized leaders. Lynians can be divided into cats (Melynx, Felyne, and Grimalkyne) and apes (Uriki, Shakalaka, Gajalaka and Boaboa). Although the apes are somewhat primitive, the cats are typically peaceful and often coexist with humans.

Type: Herbivore / 草食種
		Herbivores:	Aptonoth, Apceros, Popo, Kelbi, Anteka, Mosswine, Epioth, Rhenoplos, Erupe, Burukku, Slagtoth, Moofah, Larinoth
		Herbivores (Japanese: 草食種 Sōshokushu) are animals that feeds on plants. Most other creatures prey on herbivores, as they are often abundant. Herbivores are typically passive, and therefore pose little threat to a hunter. Within the Herbivore class there are both mammalian and reptilian creatures.

Type: Neopteron / 甲虫種
		Neopterons:	Vespoid, Queen Vespoid, Hornetaur, Great Thunderbug, Great Dragonbug, Bnahabra, Altaroth, Konchu, Seltas, Desert Seltas, Seltas Queen, Desert Seltas Queen, Atoraru Ka, Lightenna, Poikilos Lightenna
		Neopterons (Japanese: 甲虫種 Kōchūshu, "Beetle species") are insectoid monsters known for their rigid carapaces. These monsters can range in size from tiny to enormous, and some species can fly, while others cannot. Neopterons are very susceptible to poison and fire, yet hold quite a resistance to the Dragon Element. Their materials are often used to make very sharp weapons.

Type: Temnoceran / 鋏角種
		Temnoceran:	Nerscylla, Shrouded Nerscylla
		Temnocerans (Japanese 鋏角種 Kyōkakushu, "Chelicerate species") are a class of monster first introduced in Monster Hunter 4. This class is characterized by its arachnoid characteristics, such as the ability to produce silk, though they have six limbs similar to Neopterons or Carapaceons. However, some Temnocerans have been noted to have eight limbs, such as Rakna-Kadaki.

Type: Bird Wyvern / 鳥竜種
		Theropod Bird Wyverns:	Velociprey, Velocidrome, Giaprey, Giadrome, Genprey, Gendrome, Ioprey, Iodrome, Jaggi, Jaggia, Great Jaggi, Baggi, Great Baggi, Wroggi, Great Wroggi, Maccao, Great Maccao, Apiposu, Great Apiposu

		Bird Wyverns (Japanese: 鳥竜種 Chōryūshu) are a class of monsters introduced in the first generation. They are a small to medium sized class that includes Flying Wyverns with slender bodies that are bipedal and, in some cases, either have wings or lack wings. There are two distinct types of Bird Wyverns: Flying Bird Wyverns and Theropod Bird Wyverns. Flying Bird Wyverns exhibit similar characteristics to True Wyverns, with a bipedal stance along with developed and functional wings. Many of these possess a hard, sharp beak which can be used to peck at attackers, and generally behave in a bird-like manner. Theropod Bird Wyverns are reminiscent of Brute Wyverns: flightless, bipedal creatures with long tails and powerful legs. Unlike Brute Wyverns however, these monsters are generally quite small. Furthermore, Theropod Bird Wyverns almost always live under a social hierarchy, with young individuals, females and beta males led by a strong, dominant alpha male, which can command and control his subjects during combat.

		Flying Wyverns (Japanese: 飛竜種 Hiryūshu) are large, bipedal monsters that have two wings that were first introduced in the First Generation. Known for their mastery of flight, a majority of the monsters in this classification have evolved powerful wings that allow them to fly. However, some Flying Wyverns are quadrupedal, utilizing their wings as forearms to further enhance their movements on land, while other members in this class are flightless, or even wingless despite their classification. In the other hand, some winged ones are less capable of sustained flight. Flying Wyverns make up a large majority of the monsters in the Monster Hunter franchise.

Type: Piscine Wyvern / 魚竜種
		Piscine Wyverns:	Cephalos, Cephadrome, Plesioth, Green Plesioth, Seabream Plesioth, Lavasioth, Lavasioth Subspecies, Delex, Goruganosu, Aruganosu, Jyuratodus
		Piscine Wyverns (Japanese: 魚竜種 Gyoryūshu) are a class of monsters introduced in the first generation. This class is made up of wyvern-like fish that have evolved to be specialized in swimming in just about anything, mainly water, and that lack the ability to fly. These monsters are sluggish on land, though can balance themselves on land with their hindlegs.

		Carapaceons (Japanese: 甲殻種 Kōkakushu) are crustacean-like or scorpion-like monsters that were introduced in the Second Generation, having hard shells, exoskeletons, or crab-like bodies, which mostly require weapons with at least green sharpness to break. When they're weakened by physical damage, they show internal bleeding by the frothing of the purple bubbles from their mouths. Most of these crustaceans resemble crabs, lobsters or scorpions.

Type: Amphibian / 両生種
		Amphibians:	Tetsucabra, Drilltusk Tetsucabra, Berserk Tetsucabra, Zamite, Zamtrios, Tigerstripe Zamtrios
		Amphibians (Japanese: 両生種 Ryōseishu) are a class of monster first introduced in Monster Hunter 4.

		Fanged Beasts (Japanese: 牙獣種 Gajūshu), also known as Pelagus and Primatius monsters in early titles, are beastly, mammalian creatures that lack wings (although some have the ability to glide) introduced in Monster Hunter 2. They are often much faster than other larger threats. Fanged Beasts were referred to as 'Primatius' in earlier translations due to almost all of the existing members being similar to real-world primates (such as Rajang), although the translation was changed to 'Pelagus' in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. More varieties of these monsters were added in MHP3 (such as the bear-like Arzuros), and were titled 'Fanged Beasts' in the Japanese version. The name 'Fanged Beasts' was used from the English version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate onwards, and later games have introduced more varieties of these monsters.

Type: Leviathan / 海竜種
		Leviathans:	Ludroth, Royal Ludroth, Purple Ludroth, Gobul, Witch Gobul, Lagiacrus, Ivory Lagiacrus, Abyssal Lagiacrus, Uroktor, Agnaktor, Glacial Agnaktor, Nibelsnarf, Kuarusepusu, Pokaradon, Baruragaru, Mizutsune, Heavenly Eye Mizutsune
		Leviathans (Japanese: 海竜種 Kairyūshu) are a class of monsters first appearing in the third generation. This class consists of large wyverns that are specialized in swimming. Leviathans are known to usually be the top predators of their environments like Flying Wyverns.

Type: Snake Wyvern / 蛇竜種
		Snake Wyverns:	Remobra, Najarala, Tidal Najarala
		Snake Wyverns (Japanese: 蛇竜種 Jaryūshu) are a class of monster first introduced in Monster Hunter 4. These monsters are known for their serpentine features, such as long, coiling bodies and forked tongues. They can range dramatically in both size and overall body structure, with some members being large, serpentine land-dwellers, while others are smaller and more reminiscent of Flying Wyverns.

Type: Brute Wyvern / 獣竜種
		Brute Wyverns:	Barroth, Jade Barroth, Uragaan, Crystalbeard Uragaan, Pumpkin Uragaan, Steel Uragaan, Deviljho, Savage Deviljho, Aberrant Deviljho, Four Heavenly King Deviljho, Glavenus, Hellblade Glavenus, Duramboros, Rust Duramboros, Brachydios, Raging Brachydios, Evangelion Brachydios, Abiorugu, Giaorugu, Zenith Giaorugu, Gasurabazura, Anjanath
		Brute Wyverns (Japanese: 獣竜種 Jūryūshu) are a flightless group of wyverns first introduced in the Third Generation. Greatly resembling nonfictional theropods, these monsters are well adapted for life on land, using their powerful hindlimbs to get around from place to place rather than using wings or other means to travel. A common trait that most Brute Wyverns share is the small forelimbs that they can barely use, but there are some exceptions that have heavily developed those limbs to use in combat.

Type: Fanged Wyvern / 牙竜種
		Fanged Wyverns:	Zinogre, Thunderlord Zinogre, Howling Zinogre, Immortal Zinogre, FFBE Zinogre, Stygian Zinogre, Kurenai Goukami
		Fanged Wyverns (Japanese: 牙竜種 Garyūshu) are a class of monster first introduced in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. They are known for being Fanged Beast-like Wyvern monsters that have highly developed limbs. Up until the Fifth Generation, the only known species of these wyverns were Zinogre and its variations. The Fifth Generation introduced many notable Fanged Wyverns, such as Tobi-Kadachi, Odogaron, Magnamalo, and Lunagaron. With the new additions to this classification, the common traits of the Fanged Wyverns have been narrowed to being quadrupedal and having wingless forelimbs larger than their hindlimbs, while other body structures may vary; some like Odogaron and Tobi-Kadachi anchor their weight completely on their limbs pointing downward, while Great Jagras or Dodogama occasionally drag their bodies with limbs spreading to the sides, not unlike Leviathans. A common trait shared among many Fanged Wyverns is their agility and speed; however, several Fanged Wyverns, like the aforementioned Great Jagras and Dodogama, are much less nimble.

Type: Elder Dragon / 古龍種
		Elder Dragons:	Lao-Shan Lung, Ashen Lao-Shan Lung, Kirin, Yama Tsukami, Fatalis, Crimson Fatalis, White Fatalis, Teostra, Lunastra, Kushala Daora, Rusted Kushala Daora, Chameleos, Rukodiora, Ceadeus, Goldbeard Ceadeus, Jhen Mohran, Hallowed Jhen Mohran, Alatreon, Amatsu, Dire Miralis, Myo Galuna, Shantien, Rebidiora, Dah'ren Mohran, Shagaru Magala, Dalamadur, Shah Dalamadur, Oroshi Kirin, Disufiroa, Inagami, Keoaruboru, Garuba Daora, Gogmazios, Harudomerugu, Nakarkos, Toa Tesukatora, Guanzorumu, Tartaronis, Infernal Tartaronis, Yama Kurai, Nefu Garumudo, Merphistophelin, Versa Pietru, Makili Pietru, Valphalk, Keoaruboru
		Elder Dragons (Japanese: 古龍種 Koryūshu) are a class of monsters introduced in the first generation. Unlike other monster types, which classify monsters by shared traits, Elder Dragons are creatures that defy typical classification and reside outside of the standard ecosystem, regardless of their resemblance to a dragon. These monsters are rare creatures with immense power that have lived since ancient times.
