Taxonomy
Both Jinouga and its class of Fanged Wyverns are a very new discovery. Not very much is known about Fanged Wyverns except that the class appear to be a mix between Pelagus and Wyverns, possibly inspired by Therapsids (mammal-like reptiles).

Habitat Range
So far, Jinouga is known to live in the Mountain Stream's forests and wetlands.

Ecological Niche
From speculation, Jinouga is likely quite high in the food chain and only troubled by Rathalos, Rathian, and Nargacuga. Yet despite its competition with such formidable Flying Wyverns, Jinouga is rather formidable itself. It's very agile and muscular making a perfect killer and probably preys mainly on Gagua and Bullfango but other monsters like Bulldrome and Aoashira also make good sustainment for Jinouga.

Biological Adaptations
Jinouga seems very wolf-like if one looks at its face, and has a very muscular set of forelimbs very comparable to big cats. It has adapted to harness the Thunder element, similarly to Lagiacrus. This is either ignited or fueled by large plates on its back, and can help stun fleeing prey to make up for its body build. It has surprising agility for such a large monster, similar to Nargacuga. It has sharp claws attached to strong muscular fore-limbs, used to deliver a fatal blow to prey and hunters.

Behavior
As seen in trailers, Jinouga howls similarly to wolves. It attacks with great agility, making it one lethal mammal-like wyvern.
