User blog comment:Mckrongs/Monster Hunter 4 for the Nintendo 3DS/@comment-4421067-20120905203450

now that i resaw the trailer i realized about this: our new dark pal might not be a flying creature. the wings don't seem to be functional, just look at them, those are too thin to whitstand the monster's weight in the air (even for the gravity of Monhan's world), they are more like a fur cape.

so an anon below suggested i'd assume Goa whateveritscalled is the missing link between a 6-legged creature and flying elder dragons such as Kushala Daora.

(maybe i should have posted this at the theory blog lol)
