 * [[Image:Shakalaka.png|200px]]||Lynian||Lynians are races of intelligent natives living within the lands of Minegarde. There are currently only two known Lynian species: the cat-like species which harbor the Melynx and Felyne, and those of the Shakalaka. They are both intelligent, have complex societies, and use a language, although the Shakalaka are more primitive and barbaric. While the cat species tend to live peacefully in democratic societies, the Shakalaka are governed by a king or ruler, also known as King Shakalaka, identifed by a BBQ Spit on top of its head, a bigger weapon, and a bigger mask than the other Shakalakas.||

Although they are all in the same group, many of the species are not closely related to each other.||

They usually have beaks and are small in size compared to other wyverns (Gypceros is an exception to this). They often move and attack in a distinctly chicken-like manner. They are faster than standard wyverns due to their small size. Raptor-like monsters such as the Velociprey are part of the Bird Wyverns because of their close ancestry to birds.||

Although named dragons, they don't all necessarily have four legs or wings. Some may be horse-like like the Kirin, or octopus-like like the Yamatsukami. There were only 3 dragons in the original Monster Hunter (Kirin, Lao-Shan Lung and Fatalis), but in Monster Hunter 2, that amount was increased to 12.Most of the added elder dragons,however,are very vulnerable at their sides,leading Capcom to add something extra like the wind barrier for the Kushala.A trait unique to Elder Dragons is that if they are injured by the hunter, they may run to a different area. Elder Dragons are the most unique and often the most difficult to defeat monsters found in Minegarde.||

But of the three solid species that have been confirmed, the most notable is the magnificent Ragiakurusu. More information on these creatures and their behaviors will be known once MH3 releases in 2009.||
