Kulu-Ya-Ku
A bird wyvern adept at grasping objects with its well-developed forelegs. There have been sightings of it plundering eggs from other monsters, but it will often drop them in surprise if attacked.

Barroth
Perhaps in order to shield itself from hot temperatures, this monster is most often seen lurking beneath pools of mud.

Be especially wary of its head and tail when it takes on this appearance.
-
Jyuratodus
A piscine wyvern that makes its habitat in muddy swamps. It has a tendency to use mud as a means by which to both camouflage itself and hunt with.

Infamous for its belligerence, this brute wyvern indiscriminately attacks all without hesitation. The large membrane extending from its waist to the base of its tail fans out when it becomes agitated. This fan-like membrane is thought to be used not only for intimidation, but also as a mode of body temperature control. This is attributed to the fact that when Anjanath expels flames from its mouth, the membrane has been spotted expanding in tandem, releasing excess heat.

Kushala Daora
While this monster is surrounded by wind, long-range attacks will have little effect, and it will be difficult to approach. If its head is broken, it will no longer be able to project this wind.
