Gougarf Ecology

In-Game Information
???

Taxonomy
They are classified as Fanged Beast. The relation between the two is not male and female like Rathalos and Rathian or Teostra and Lunastra, but rather Lolo is a recessive gene where as Ray is not. They are the only Fanged Beast that lives in pairs, unlike Conga or Blango that live in a highly complex family, or the Rajang which usually is a sole wanderer.

Habitat Range
So far, Gougarf have only been found living in the Gorge.

Ecological Niche
Gougarf are top predators in their environment preying on Apceros, Mosswine and Genprey as their usual prey. Although high in the food chain together, a sole Gougarf can be overwhelmed by Espinas Subspecies, Rajang, Tigrex, Dhuragaua, Berukyurosu, Rathalos, Rathian and Pink Rathian along with Rebidiora. But when in company of other Gougarf, they can resist and even overwhelm some of these predators.

Biological Adaptations
These beasts are totally capable of using magnetism similar to Rebidiora and Rukodiora. Another biological adaptation is it's sheer strength that it uses to overwhelm unsuspecting attackers (though other Gougarf are needed for such a task). Other adaptations are it's highly aggressive (yet sane enough) nature and it's extreme co-ordination which most monster pairs lack in. With these adaptation, tackling an Apceros is not a challenge.

Behavior
As mentioned in the paragraph above, the Gougarf are highly aggressive creatures that should not be provoked. However, Ray is not as aggressive as Lolo who might attack Ray if KO'd in Rage mode. Even still, their aggression is nothing compared to the Rajang.
