Yian Garuga

Description

Yian Garuga is a bird wyvern much like Yian Kut-Ku. It is relatively small, though its size is deceiving.

Thick purple scales cover the Yian Garuga, making it easily distinguishable from its smaller relative, the Yian Kut-Ku. Its silver mane, wickedly sharp beak, and barbed tail also differentiate it from Kut-Ku, and make it a far more dangerous opponent.

It has far more control over its fire breathing, allowing it to aim fireballs similar in power to Rathalos/Rathian. The tail can poison on impact, and it also has a backflip it can perform for devastating damage. Yian Garuga is one of the very few Bird Wyverns with a roar, which it can do while backing away in addition to when it poses.

Water element weapons are suggested, as is aiming for its head. Garuga is not an opponent to be taken lightly.
