Things you may not know about the Nargacuga, Barioth, and Hyujikiki(Info comes from MHFU, MH3, MHP3RD, MH3G/MH3U, wikiwiki.jp, atwiki.jp, Pike, mhfo.wikiwiki.jp)

Nargacuga

Firstly, Nargacuga has many unusual traits not usually found on a Flying Wyvern.

Before it was discovered by the Guild, it was seen in a few areas in the past and was only treated as a rumor/legend. It was called "Nargacuga" in those areas so the Guild just went with that name.

The Nargacugas are aggressive and cunning.

Their wing blades and claws cut through Pitfall Traps with ease.

A Nargacugas speed and agility is far better than your basic Fanged Beast.

The reason why they don't have a shell is because with those hairs, their a lot more agile and don't have to worry about being slowed down by their shell like some other Wyverns.

Nothing really compares to their overwhelming speed and agility but most likely other Flying Wyverns.

Nargacugas ambush prey by hiding in the shadows or in trees at night before attacking. They've even attacked Guild Knights before and nearly killed them all. They prefer attacking their prey from their blind spots or sides to catch them off guard.

Even if the first blow doesn't kill the prey, it will constantly attack its prey until its dead.

They have very good hearing and can hear the slightest sound and, they mostly use their hearing to hunt.

Nargacugas can't fly very well so they actually glide. The wings however are used as a tool to cut down trees and foliage in its way.

The Nargacuga's main weapon is its tail and is half of its length. Their tail is strong enough to break the bone of large monsters in some cases.

When its eyes glow red, its blood vessels and a kind of mimicry.

While enraged, it really doesn't think very well and loses focus while attacking.

Turns out in old times, the people that lived in the Great Forest depended on Nargacuga materials for some of their needs. Their armor was called "Hunters of the Night" and sometimes "People of the Great Forest". Without them, the Guild wouldn't have ever discovered Nargacuga.

The Green Nargacuga is of a different species from the normal one.

They are larger than normal Nargacugas and a lot more agile than them.

Unlike the other Nargas, they don't wait for prey to come to them but instead just attack them head on and look for them.

Its unknown how its tail spin is able to knock prey/hunters out cold.

It mostly hunts during the day and hunts less at night.

The Luncent Nargacuga is also a Subspecies of Nargacuga but is most likely completely nocturnal.

Locals have claimed that it was real for a long time but the Guild didn't believe them, that's until they started researching in the Towers at night and finally discovered it.

Lucent is able to disappear from both the moon and some help from the fog.

Its been confirmed, the Lucent can be found in the Great Forest just like the normal one.

The poison it uses is very toxic and its unknown how it produces it, though it seems its poison is stored in its spikes.

Its tail is a lot stronger than the other two.

The scales, fangs, spikes, wing blades, and tails of all three are different in terms of power, coloration, and a whole lot more.

Barioth:

Firstly, Barioth has pretty high intelligence even by Wyvern standards.

Barioths prefer eating the internal organs of prey.

Male Barioths use their tusks as a display to females during mating season. The longer the tusks and the better they look, the higher chance of getting with a female. Males will actually invade the territory of females in order to mate with them though its dangerous due to the female might actually nothing to do with them. Females hide in a hidden place while pregnant and will give birth to 2-3 cubs. It keeps to them in caves to help keep them safe and to avoid the elements.

The shell on them is very flexible yet still hard at the same time.

Their is a lot softer than a Nargacuga's.

Both it and Nargacuga are close relatives.

The way it produces its icy breath is interesting. Liquid in its body spat out, when it sucks in air. When combined with moisture it forms a ice block. It spirals from the contraction from its lungs and ice sac, making its huge tornado breath.

The barbs on their wings are used as weapons while attacking with its wings.

Its flying abilities are far better than most other Flying Wyverns and even come close to the Raths.

Sand Barioths are a true subspecies of Barioth. Sand Barioths are well known for polishing and sharpening their fangs, making it an bluish color.

Their tusk are alot stronger than the normal Barioth's.

They are well known for making dust storms in the Sandy Plains.

Very strong Sand Barioths are known to produce smaller tornadoes used to blind and kill prey while also for defense.

As most of you know, the Sand Barioth covers its face with blood, which seems to be used to cool the Sand Barioth down.

It seems their sacs to produce the tornadoes is different from the normal ones.

They make the giant tornadoes from lack of walls to jump of.

Their shell is light and shockingly soft.

Their tail spines can break through ice.

Its tail is 40% of its length.

Hyujikiki

Firstly, it hasn't been confirmed if Hyujikiki is in the superfamily known as " Pre-Winged Leg Wyverns" like Barioth and Nargacuga but its very likely from its looks.

There are very few sightings of Hyujikiki in though they have been seen in the Desert and Highlands.

This monster was put into G-Rank due to it not being known very well and its now being researched. it was also put into this rank from it being very hostile.

The needles on its body are made by fats and oils in its body that make them.

It attacks enemies/prey with those needles to kill them.

Hyujikikis will sometimes coil themselves and actually hardening their needles to protect themselves.

It seems too have evolved these needles to counter the attacks from other predators/threats.

The needles may turn red due to blood flow.

When it truly feels that it may die, it will begin to produce/active special toxic venom in its barbs that cause various different effects to hunters.

Its fur is sharp as well and has been compacted by fat.

Its fangs are small but can bite prey with ease.

The tail has become a huge needle from its own hairs.
