The Swift Wyvern Nargacuga (ナルガクルガ, narugakuruga) is a Flying Wyvern introduced in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.
Physiology and Abilities
Nargacuga are large quadruped flying wyverns known for jet black fur, orange eyes that glow red when enraged, menacing blades on their wingarms (dubbed cutwings), and its barbed tail used for launching spike projectiles and melee attacks. The tail can either be smooth when docile, or unfolded and spiky when enraged.
Despite being flying wyverns, Nargacuga primarily fight on land, but can still use their wings to fly to other areas, or to escape traps.
Description
| Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak | |
|---|---|
|
Flying wyverns that have evolved to live in thickly wooded areas. Covered in jet black fur, these cunning predators stalk their prey from the shadows and attack with ferocious speed. Their massive tails are as dexterous as they are deadly, and powerful enough to slay smaller monsters with one strike. Threat Level: ★★★★★★ The Nargacuga is a beast of the shadows, and becomes enraged by bright light. At the risk of missing the mark and simply riling it up further, its excellent hearing can be exploited by throwing a Sonic Bomb as it pauses to focus. It can destroy Pitfall Traps, so be discreet when placing them. |
