Despite its decent eyesight, Nargacuga doesn't like bright light. It primarily relies on its hearing, and it uses a form of echolocation to find its way around in the darkness.
Unlike other flying wyverns, Nargacuga doesn't have any kind of hard-shelling on its body. Instead of a shell or carapace, Nargacuga has fur and scales covering much of its body, making it relatively soft compared to other flying wyverns.

Many hunters want to get their hands on Rathalos equipment. Those who wear Rathalos armor are said to have the power and legacy of the King of the Skies. It is also said that those hunters want to achieve greater feats.
What four monsters are your favorite from a lore perspective?
I like a lot of different monsters from a lore perspective at this point, so it's hard for me to choose just four.
If you ask about the Espinas Subspecies and Espinas Rare Species, I'm waiting to see if they'll end up appearing in the Main Series as well. We can't forget that Hypnocatrice's and Lavasioth's other forms have never appeared in the Main Series as of yet.
Rare Species of Flagship Monsters
1. Rathalos -> Silver Rathalos
2. Tigrex -> Molten Tigrex
3. Nargacuga -> Lucent Nargacuga
4. Lagiacrus -> Abyssal Lagiacrus
