Nargacuga
A uniquely-evolved wyvern that calls the forest its home. It hides itself in the shadows and slyly stalks its prey with terrifying speed and tenacity. Its unique tail can take down a medium-sized monster in a single swish.
A Flying Wyvern known as the “Swift Wyvern” that lives in places like the Great Forest and the Old Swamp. The black fur covering its body lets it blend into the dark, where it lurks in shadow to hunt prey. It attacks fast and lands fierce blows with the blade-like parts of the wings grown on its forelegs.
