Yian Garuga





The Yian Garuga is a subspecie of the Yian Kut-Ku and the Blue Yian Kut-Ku. This wyvern is not only very different in physical aspects of the Yian Kut-Ku, but also very different in behavior, abilities, and hunting strategies. Physically speaking, they are purple, have a body covered with spikes, and have extremely hard shells. Their tail spikes are toxic enough that one tail swipe can poison you. These creatures are very aggressive and seem to always be enraged.

Without ESP, your weapon will not pierce through the shell of the Yian Garuga. The only area on its body that can be hit without bouncing, is the head. The head is also the most sensitive area on their body. They are weakest to water elemented weapons.

Their first appearance was in Monster Hunter Freedom.
