Things you may not know about the Yian Kut-Ku, Yian Garuga, and Pariapuria(Info comes from MHFU, MH4, wikiwiki.jp, atwiki.jp, Pike, mhfo.wikiwiki.jp)

Yian Kut-Ku

Firstly, they are very timid and don't like to fight in general but if they see an intruder in their territory, they will attack.

Their behavior is similar to some Flying Wyverns.

Yian Kut-Ku spit a flaming liquid at threats. When enraged, it produces a larger amount of the liquid and this increases the size of its fire spit.

Their ears are used to intimidate potential threats and they have very good hearing. This hearing is their disadvantage at close range and can stun them for a few seconds without warning, though once they come to, it'll be seriously enraged and go berserk.

Yian Kut-Kus feed on worms, insects, and Neopterons. They use their beaks to scoop into the ground and dig out its prey. Usually after feeding, they may leave behind a hole in the ground and may even leave behind a scale, telling hunters that one is/was in the area.

If the weather is good enough, the Kut-Kus will breed during the whole year but during the following year, food becomes scarce from all the breeding and from there being more of their species. Though many Kut-Ku die during that year, more are born the year after that.

During breeding season, female Yian Kut-Ku grow feathers on their abdomen. These feathers are used to keep their eggs warm. These feathers can also be considered a remnant of their ancestors. During the breeding season, many hunters are sent to hunt female Kut-Ku for these feathers in order to make woven clothing.

The extremely tiny Yian Kut-Kus are said to be most likely young Kut-Kus.

The HC Yian Kut-Ku is mostly an old adult and, is better suited to chasing down and taking down larger prey. There flaming liquid is also better developed and is hotter.

The Blue Yian Kut-Ku is extremely rare but its unknown if its a true subspecies or a mutation.

Its ecology is pretty much the same as the Yian Kut-Ku but with a few manner differences. Its a lot more aggressive when angered and it is stronger than the normal one.

The HC Blue Yian Kut-Ku uses its beak to make pitfalls, to catch prey.

Yian Kut-Ku eat stones similar to Hypnocatice in order to help them digest food.

Yian Garuga

Firstly, Yian Garugas just love to fight/battle without any rhyme or reason. They do this because they feel like their being challenged by any threat and just enjoy it.

Yian Garugas like Kut-Kus have excellent hearing but loud sounds don't bother them due to their war-like behavior. Their ears are two used for intimidation.

Apparently people get it and Yian Kut-Ku confused with each other.

Their is beak extremely sharp and used to cut through prey.

It has a flame sac similar to some Flying Wyverns.

When angered, its strength greatly increases.

They are very good jumpers and have great agility, all in their feet. This even allows them to cut through Pitfall Traps with ease.

Yian Garuga, similar to Rathian, has poisonous thorns.

Yian Garuga is well-known for getting into fights with Kut-Ku over territory. It'll will even take the Kut-Ku's territory and kill it afterwards. Female Garugas will actually the get rid of the eggs of a Kut-Ku and lay their own eggs for the Kut-Ku to take care off since Garugas aren't very good parents and can't really take care of young.

It seems where ever there are Yian Kut-Kus, there are Yian Garugas not to far behind.

Its been said that Yian Garugas may actually occasionally just look for a random monster to fight with.

Yian Garugas with large wounds on their body, either it being a missing eye or ear, use this to indicate they are extremely old and are battled hardened after many years. The HC Yian Garugas are Yian Garugas that haven't really gone through that tough life the wounded ones have went through.

Pariapuria

Firstly, Pariapuria's Ancestors seemed to have lived in the water first before coming on land. It also is said that Pariapurias are slowly changing to become land-based monsters.

Seeing Pariapuria in water is rare.

Its body is covered in mucus. From this mucus, some traps aren't very affective.

Pariapurias seem to not chew their food very often. Pariapuria actually saves food in it stomach for later.

There is a large amount of rocks and water found inside the stomach of a Pariapuria along with parts from previous prey. A lot monster parts found in Pariapuria have yet to be confirmed.

The Supremacy Pariapuria is an old Pariapuria though its only ever been encountered in the Tide Island.

This Pariapuria is pretty smart compared to the normal one and has many different ways to battle.

These old Pariapurias seem to digest food at an extremely high rate and are usually aggressive from it.

They use their digestive juices to fight along with toxins from prey it has eaten or from its salvia.
