Round 1 Part 2: Yian Garuga Vs. Deadeye Yian Garuga
Yian Garuga (Bird Wyvern)
Appears in: Freedom Unite, Generations, Generations Ultimate, Iceborne*
Tumblr media
A close relative of the Yian Kut-Ku known for its hard black scales and tufts of white mane. More belligerent that its flighter cousins, these clever monsters are known to rationally observe their prey, even when angered. They are not to be taken lightly. -Generations Ultimate
*Yian Garuga is very strange, the variant Scarred Yian Garuga was introduced in Freedom and was merely known as "Yian Garuga", while normal Yian Garuga wasn't introduced until Freedom Unite. This appearance list is for specifically the standard version of Yian Garuga, and thus excludes games where only Scarred appears (even if it's called "Yian Garuga").
Vs.
Deadeye Yian Garuga (Bird Wyvern)
Appears in: Generations, Generations Ultimate
Tumblr media
The "Deadeye" is a battle-scarred veteran of countless duels to the death. Its one-eyed gaze burns with the fervor of a thousand victorious fights. A famous hunter once said: "That's the only feller with a better HR than me!" Requires special permission to hunt. -Generations Ultimate

You ever think about how Pikmin fans and Monster Hunter fans are identical to one another except for the fact that the guys they get excited about are entirely different sizes?
"OHHHH FUCK THEY'RE FINALLY BRINGING BACK SCARRED YIAN GARUGA!!!!" is an identical statement to: "OHHH MY GOD WE'RE FINALLY GETTING ANOTHER GAME WITH THE PYROCLASMIC SLOOCH!!!!" To the uninitiated, and I just think that's neat.

Hi there been a while since i asked for a story but i love reading em!
How about because of all the times kyle has seen the rider fall off stuff and have horrible landing. (Aka the ship, guardian ratha, raza. Their about as graceful as a scarred yian garuga is pretty) kyle has come to the habit of instinctually catching the rider when they fall off. To the point if the rider is hoping off just to dismount kyle is there catching them.
Welcome back! Hope you enjoy! Thank you!💖
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There To Catch You
Kyle has seen you fall too many times to trust you landing safely on your feet.
Tumblr media
You've had a nasty past when it came to falling from dangerously high places. First it was an air ship, then you fell off Ratha, and even more things after that. Your horrible landing has led you coming close to having comas, sometimes that was even the case, leading Kyle to act like a worried mom.
You had about as much grace as a hatchling-if it was blind.
Kyle had thought that you would grow out of this nasty habit, but some people never change. You would always be prone to landing horribly no matter where you fell from. This has led to the hunter doing something he wasn't expecting to do.
Instinctively move to catch you whenever you might seem like falling.
I mean, while you always land like a bumbling trash bag, Kyle can always stay planted on his feet like a flawless god. Tsukino found the whole situation hilarious.
Not only has Kyle become your guardian, but he's taken it way out of hand.
"Kyle...what are you doing?" Your voice floated down from on top of Ratha. You were standing on the saddle, ready to hop off, but the hunter stood stubbornly before you, his arms raised like a toddler wanting to be picked up.
"I'm not taking any chances." He said, moving his fingers in a way that seemed to say "move already." You tilted your head.
"What do you mean?" You asked, obviously not realizing your amazing terrible habit of hurting yourself by falling. Even though the ground was less than three feet away, you would still probably fall on your face.
"You fall and hurt yourself too easily. Obviously, you need someone there to catch you. The felynes can't do it, so I guess I had to." Kyle said as if he despised having to catch you. In all seriousness, he doesn't mind having to play this role. He's been the younger brother all his life, and now he can finally feel like some roles were reversed.
"I do not!" You immediately declared in a stubborn manner before turning your back to him to jump off the other side.
Ratha snorted at the situation.
But as expected, as you moved to jump your foot slipped and you were ready to land flat on your back, crashing the back of your head on the ground. It wouldn't be anything too serious, but you would have a nasty bruise. But instinctively, Kyle had dashed quick on feet to the other side of your monstie to catch you.
And he did.
"You were saying?" Kyle asked in a parental manner as you opened your eyes sheepishly. Your face turned pink in a flustered manner.
"Thank you..." You muttered, looking away from him as Kyle released you from his arms once you were steady on your feet.
"That's what I thought." He declared proudly, hands on his hips. Kyle felt like a disgruntled parent with his irresponsible offspring. Because even though you now realized you had bad luck for falling and landing, it didn't stop you from jumping from high places.
But Kyle was always there to catch you.
Annoyingly so sometimes.

shitty idea time: monster hunter monsters if they had personalities/characters and bantered with the hunter mid-fight instead of being mindless animals
for context the variant, deviant, subspecies, etc. monsters would have the same lines as the vanilla species but with different VAs, paralleling how their hunting horns are the same melody with different instruments
i didn't do all of them because i couldn't really think of personalities for all of them
okay go
———
"great/drome" monsters: somewhere between the soldier and charlie from pikmin 3: military commanders ordering about their pack members in battle with...less than effective results
(blue) yian kut ku: constantly scared, bellyaching about how his auricles hurt or he's out of breath and such, and would very much rather be somewhere else: he's a big chicken, after all
(scarred, deadeye) yian garuga: basically imagine scratch from adventures of sonic the hedgehog if he wanted sonic ground into a bloody paste instead of merely hurt or captured: he even has the voice too. throws huge temper tantrums when you get knocked out of the arena or another monster intrudes because it means he can't fight you any more
cephadrome: constantly taunting the player about how he's so hard to hit under the sand, but the moment he gets dragged out he starts begging for mercy and running away
(ruby) basarios: too fat and stupid to even realize you're trying to attack him, or that he's attacking you...kinda like louie from pikmin honestly
(black) gravios: lazy, almost depressed, even, and doesn't really care about the fact that you're trying to beat the snot out of him: if you win, he dies, and if your weapons bounce off of his carapace he gets to wallow and be miserable more, so it's a win-win situation
(purple) gypceros: adhd personified. hyperactive as hell and constantly getting distracted during the fight, only to circle back and get super pissed at you: when he "dies" the first time he gets sad that his prank didn't work if you don't fall for it
(red) khezu: weird scrimbly bimbly thing that only talks in short sentence fragments, is constantly sniffing around to get a read on you, and sounds garbled like he's underwater. also the screaming. he's constantly screaming seemingly at random. kinda like a much more gooey hyness
(gold, pink) rathian: more down to earth than rathalos (because she stays on the ground.) she gets tired of having to basically babysit rathalos sometimes but she still loves him with all her heart. constantly trying to rein him in and get him to take you seriously during the fight when they're fighting together: regardless of whether he's killed or captured she breaks down sobbing and trying to avenge him
(silver, azure) rathalos: imagine a flying version of bowser from the mario RPGs. dumb as bricks, and he's not really treating the fight as life or death, but more like just a thing he does every tuesday: he's happy to see you, but he still has to act like the bad guy. you can hear him trying to practice his evil laugh as he's flying away, then berating himself for it not being good enough. if he's fighting with rathian he gets a lot more meek when she's captured and almost goes dead silent for the rest of the fight when she's killed
diablos: has a potty mouth that would put a sailor to shame. during his turf war with black diablos they both get off on the fact they're beating the crap out of each other
bloodbath diablos: basically a fusion between kai yan and tartarus from dragalia. believes that the philosophy of "might makes right" is the ultimate creed, and wipes out any monsters near him because he believes they're weak and unfit of fighting to live. meanwhile he kills humans for the slight they inflicted on him in the past. gets more desperate as the fight wears on because he cannot be anything less than the perfect being, and when he dies/gets captured he's not mad because he lost, he's mad because he lost to you.
black diablos: horny. angry and very very horny. does not care about the fact that you're a fraction of her size: she's getting off on the fact that you're dealing intense bodily harm to her and thus she wants you inside her. basically the embodiment of this meme here:
Tumblr media
(white) monoblos: a friendly rival to diablos, and treats the entire fight as a huge pissing contest between them, even when the former is nowhere to be found. very proud of his horn. knows hunters are always after him as a rite of passage, so he's sort of fallen into a mentor-like role, and he's always proud when he gets slain or captured
(plum, stonefist) daimyo hermitaur: scared and is constantly hiding behind his claws, prioritizing keeping you the hell away at all times. very antisocial.
(terra) shogun ceanataur: extremely proud of his claws, yelling about keeping your hands off "the merchandise" once he gets enraged, and both figuratively and literally starts foaming at the mouth once they get broken. gets really embarrassed once his shell is broken, and stays meek like that for the rest of the fight
rustrazor ceanataur: acts like a drug addict, only with the drug references replaced with references to sharpening his claws on glavenus' skull
(green, lucent, silverwind) nargacuga: wants to act like a ninja. ends up acting more like something out of naruto. also he recites his own version of darkwing duck's "i am the terror that flaps in the night" thing at the beginning of the fight
(molten, grimclaw) tigrex: dim, but a really nice guy, kind of like a large dog, and actually doesn't mind you fighting to the death that much: the problem is that he's CONSTANTLY FUCKING SCREAMING EVERYTHING HE SAYS AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS. his violent charges aren't actually charges he's just trying to give you a big hug. with his mouth.
(furious) rajang: imagine goku but like a minimum of ten times as violent and with the battle-obsessed stalker-ish qualities of nemona. can be sometimes heard humming parts of the DK Rap when calm. his fight is as much him showboating as he is trying to maul you
(flaming) espinas: talks in his sleep. starts off asleep and mutters stuff like "just five more minutes mom" as you hit him, then gradually starts groggily walking around. then when you hit him enough he loses his shit and starts swearing up a storm while beating the tar out of you...and then eventually the adrenaline wears off and he reverts to the passive half-asleep version of himself.
akantor/ukanlos: acts like a JRPG villain's monstrous final form, with parallels to each other's lines
arzuros: expy of banjo. one of the few monsters that actually gets along with qurupeco
(snowbaron) lagombi: sort of like a skier. less focused on fighting you and just happily slip-sliding around on the ice.
volvidon: constantly warning you to keep your distance mid-fight: since the Soiled gas is actually just flatulence, he's worried he's going to have a bit of stress-induced incontinence
(crimson) qurupeco: you know how squidward believes he has lots of talent with the clarinet but he actually plays like ass? yeah imagine that but replace the clarinet but with monster roars. all the other monsters only come to his "aid" just to shut him the hell up, and he's gleefully unaware of this even as he's being ripped to shreds
barroth: has a couple pebbles rattling around in his crown in lieu of a brain, and thus goes nuts like a dog seeing a mailman with a single minded pursuit to run you over
nibelsnarf: obsessed with food. will eat any bombs you put down and deem them delicious, even after they explode in his gullet and he calls them "a bit spicy."
(steel) uragaan: basically a goron in all but name: loud, boisterous, rolls to get around, and loves eating rocks
(rust) duramboros: basically an old miner that mostly just wants some peace and quiet. has to put a considerable amount of effort into all of his attacks, especially the one where he throws himself into the air like a shot put, and starts complaining about his back after he lands
(thunderlord) zinogre: a breakdancer. constantly boasting about his moves in battle and treats his fulgurbug tenants as "special effects."
brachydios: acts like a hammy heel wrestler such as rawk hawk or incineroar...even though he's supposed to be a boxer instead of a wrestler. sometimes he acts like he's sparring with you instead.
raging brachydios: the same heel persona from before, but now all washed up and depressed, desperately grasping at his former fame. near the end where he traps you in his lair he gets his old passion back as he goes completely apeshit for one last fight
(savage) deviljho: not really much different from his canon incarnation, except now he just moans or roars "STILL...SO...HUNGRY..." at times
(ash) kecha wacha: somewhere between a class clown and a memelord. hangs on branches and canopies specifically to cackle at you.
(desert) seltas: speaks like a stereotypical robot. not much to him unless he's being used as a puppet by the seltas queen: he is a drone, after all
(berserk) tetsucabra: somewhere between big the cat and big man. the rocks he pulls up are supposed to be for him to hide behind, but he's so dim he thinks you're gone too.
(tidal) najarala: a stereotypical snake character that speakssss like thissss. sometimes he accentuates the hissing noises by rattling his tail along with them. gets pissed off when you escape his "ring of doom" attack, as he has to spend a lot of time positioning himself to circle around you and enact it.
(shrouded) nerscylla: looks intimidating but is actually really shy and timid (sorta reflects real tarantulas tbh). her gypceros pelt is like a beloved hoodie to her and she gets really sad when it's destroyed
(tigerstripe) zamtrios: actually a really nice guy. the problem is, like real sharks, he figures out whether something is food or not by biting it. obviously most hunters don't let him nibble them and just whack him, so he ends up fighting most people he meets. also he makes the "dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun" from Jaws while he's swimming through ice. his voice lines get pitched up super high when he's inflated.
(desert) seltas queen: speaks much like A Certain Other Queen (The One Who Is: At The Very Least Kinda Sorta Famous) and treats her seltas underlings like garbage. once she fully takes control of the seltas they speak in unison
seregios: imagine jaleel white's sonic if he could shoot his spines. and also fly. spins the fact that he's basically a refugee by saying he's spreading freedom wherever he goes, much like the real sonic. deep down, he isn't buying it.
(boltreaver) astalos: crackheaded hyperactive maniac. makes a lot of references to monster energy: this is because his electric powers don't come from his special muscles, but from him guzzling down a potent cocktail of stimulants and cans of monster by the truckload. explains the crackheadedness i guess. repeatedly denies that he's crazy to the rest of the fated four
(violet) mizutsune: huge bitch. he wants to be looked at and for everything to be about him all the time, and he throws temper tantrums sometimes when it isn't. also he's horny. very horny. he sounds snooty and effeminate like Juno Songs' portrayal of rubber band from Paper Mario: The Origami King
soulseer mizutsune: f u c k i n g sans undertale
(acidic, hellblade) glavenus: acts like a noble knight and will lay down his life to protect other members of the fated four. gets into quarrels with gammoth who is of a similar mindset. despite being a protector, his real love is cooking, which he does with his heated tailblade.
(elderfrost) gammoth: also a protector, but in a more motherly sort of way i guess. big enough to encompass the entire rest of the fated four so she just uses herself as a shield.
(nightcloak) malfestio: somewhere between a jester and a magician. constantly talks a big game about gaining sleight of hand on you, and gets flustered when you can outgambit his dirty tricks
ahtal-ka: imagine peridot's voice and personality crossbred with the mechanical ingenuity, scientific passion, and sheer psychopathic bloodlust that TotK's version of link is known for. basically treats the entire fight as a giant experiment and actively takes notes each time you defeat her ahtal-neset, so she can get rid of the weak spots you target.
(fulgur) anjanath: basically the jerk jock trope personified, fitting how it's known as the "relentless ruffian." talks a big game in battle but is quick to fold when something bigger, like a rathalos, enters the scene
(ebony) odogaron: you know that scene from gumball where it's shown from the Evil Turtle's perspective and it's like "BITE BITE BITE EAT FOOD FOR STRENGTH TO BITE BITE BITE MAKE LITTLE TURTLES TO BITE EVEN MORE" ...yeah that's basically how this guy operates
tzitzi-ya-ku: basically a paparazzi/photographer. flees peacefully once he gets good "shots" of monsters (read: blinds them) and when he's fighting you he's more concerned about getting your good side and putting you in the right light than he is about self preservation
(seething) bazelgeuse: basically a much angrier version of the soldier. barely even knows why he's in this locale or that: all he knows is that he's not going home until something dies. flies into battle screaming at the top of his lungs.
aknosom: an acrobat and a performer. more concerned with stomping on your face like a goomba than actually doing anything effective. tries to lick you once you're close to its head while it's downed.
tetranadon: another wrestler-inspired character like brachydios, but this time he's a face instead of the heel. very self absorbed and is convinced all of the small monsters watching from the sidelines are there to cheer him on and boo you.
(blood orange) bishaten: an even bigger shitlord than kecha wacha. could not care less about whether he lives or dies because he had fun and he got to see you get pissed while doing it.
(magma) almudron: a cantankerous old dude. he's less interested in actually protecting his territory and more so just chasing you off it. constantly complaining and bellyaching regardless.
somnacanth: a parody of an idol. her singing voice is actually really good but she gets so passionate that she releases her signature narcotic dust, which puts any prospective audience to sleep. still, she tries to put on the best performance she can even mid-fight
auroracanth: the idol from before but now jaded and disillusioned with life.
(pyre) rakna-kadaki: a wicked witch-archetype character that cares really deeply about her rachnoid minions. gets really distraught when you kill them or knock over the sac she's using to incubate them. this does not stop her from eating the rachnoids that are males. basically imagine Magica deSpell (2017) if she had an entire army of lenas instead of just one
(scorned) magnamalo: a mirror to the fierce flame, constantly spouting out cheesy puns and one liners with almost all of his attacks. starts laughing like a maniac once he does that move where he runs around like crazy.
garangolm: very peaceful, even to the point that he's willing to forgive you up to a certain HP threshold or if captured. but this guy hates anyone who would disturb the peace or bully others, and eventually lose his shit and decry you going "YOU! ARE NOT! A NICE! PERSON!!!" or something like that
lunagaron: tries to put on a sonic.exe-esque vibe to seem more intimidating, contrary to what his werewolf-like design would suggest. he's very terrible at it and ends up flubbing his "lines" often.
(ashen) lao-shan lung: basically that hobo who sits on the street holding the "The End Is Near" sign. only this time the end is actually near because the only reason he's there is because he's fleeing from fatalis.
kirin: h o n s e
chameleos: basically scampton from deltarune chapter rewritten if he was a magician as well as a jester. his entire fight is, from his perspective, mostly a bunch of cool magic tricks, but he's also screwing with you a bit too. the problem is that he's not satisfied until you're having as much "fun" as he is, and he's insane and his desire for fun is insatiable. kinda like caine from the amazing digital circus
teostra: basically @darbycupit's portrayal of king leongar, but as a good guy. he's revered and treated by a noble king by all the other monsters.
lunastra: violently protective of teostra. will go apeshit on anything that so much as looks at him funny and he often sheepishly has to reel her back in. basically the opposite of rathian.
yama tsukami: basically a super-sized supernatural patrick star. doesn't really care about what he's doing or where he ends up as long as he gets to eat stuff.
alatreon: completely batshit insane. the schizo to end all schizos. the voices in his head are actually mental representation of his various active modes. with his dying breath he thanks you for keeping him from suffering split between multiple personalities.
amatsu: believes it is his divine right to take territory he wants, blowing out all others with mighty storms, and treats the fierce flame (and other animals in general really) with nothing but contempt. gets more desperate and rageful as the fight goes on because he doesn't want to be killed by what's basically an ant to him
gore magala: acts aloof and ominous in an attempt to appear cool. however, he's basically still just a kid on the inside, and as such his true childish personality often slips through the cracks
chaotic gore: incapable of making any speech other than pained howls. when killed he thanks you for ending his suffering.
shagaru magala: basically @stelyos' portrayal of fecto elfilis: a YHWH-like warlord god who sees all life as beneath him and worthy only of subjugation
nakarkos: starts the fight trying to keep up the facade that he's a two headed bone abomination, using his tentacles like puppets to keep up the con. however, as the fight rolls on and the tentacles get uncovered, he half-heartedly tries to keep up appearances before going "fuck it" to pop out and reveal his true form, and with it his true personality: a very gluttonous and boisterous pirate
(crimson glow) valstrax: the fastest thing alive, more concerned with showing off his incredible speed than actually fighting you. once he realizes he might actually be in trouble, he just doubles down and starts showboating harder instead of making an effort.
(blackveil) vaal hazaak: a mysterious necromancer-like character. what he actually wants is friends due to being holed up in the bottom layers of the vale and being too hazardous to approach, and when killed, he'll lament that he could really only have friends through effluvium necromancy.
(ruiner) nergigante: yet another bowser expy, this time of juno songs' portrayal of the character
velkhana: actually pretty chill. however, she has to keep up appearances, namely those from the frozen corpses she leaves around, and acts like a supervillainess while fighting you
namielle: dumb as a rock and only really cares about looking cool in battle and looking cool in general. basically an inkling in all but form and name.
malzeno: despite his elegant appearance he's actually a huge chuunibyou. he's really new to this whole "bad guy" schtick after becoming the qurio's host to protect everybody, so he's putting all the effort in all the wrong places of his performance.
primordial malzeno: a noble hero that willingly accepts the fact that he needs to die for the sake of everyone else at the beginning of the fight. as the infection progresses further he becomes less and less coherent and at the end he's basically only making pained screeches, begging for the fierce flame to end his misery during his brief periods of lucidity
zorah magdaros: the entire fight dialogue is basically a never ending long winded rambling old man monologue
shara ishvalda: basically imagine that thing about monika knowingly shutting down any streams she detects at her part of the story in DDLC, except different. shara ishvalda's banter isn't directed at the hunter. it's directed at you specifically. if you have an xbox kinect maybe the game would turn it on to look at you and better fit said banter.
safi'jiiva: similar to the other part of @stelyos' portrayal of fecto elfilis: a world-shaping godlike being that firmly believes that survival of the fittest is the only way the world can work, and since he is by definition the fittest, he's the only one that deserves to survive
ibushi: no thoughts only horny
narwa: constantly talking smack to you through the twins
gaismagorm: sounds like a massive mishmash of voices sort of like @darbycupit's portrayal of fecto forgo. it's not actually anything supernatural the voices just echo around in his weird flower mouth thing and they all sound different
all of the fatalises: somewhere between tartarus from dragalia lost on steroids and calamity ganon: a being that was so consumed by its hatred it turned into a nearly mindless shade of its former self

Monster Hunter Rating 45: [Scarred] Yian Garuga, the Black Wolf Bird
These are the monsters that I made that post about, and the feedback I got from it suggested that I go with my original inclination and lump both of them together in the same review. Apparently even when both of them appear in the same games, they’re treated as being basically the same thing, so it makes extra sense that I do so as well. Let’s talk about Yian Kut-Ku’s more successful cousins, Yian Garuga and its Scarred variant!
Tumblr media
(Yian Garuga as it appears in the Second Generation)
Tumblr media
(Scarred Yian Garuga as it appears in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne)
Appearance: For this section, I’ll rate the regular Yian Garuga only, since the Scarred version is the same, albeit lacking a frill and having scars (no duh). When talking about Yian Kut-Ku, I found it to look rather simple, with the head being the only thing of note about it. Yian Garuga, though, is notable for A) being edgier, and B) for its tail, which looks suspiciously like a Rath’s. I’ll get into that when talking about the lore, but as far as appearance goes, it’s a lot better than Yian Kut-Ku--even the blue version, which is a twist and a half when considering how biased I am towards the color. Yian Garuga looks almost like a corrupted Kut-Ku, and despite how doofy it should look, it somehow works. Honestly, the fact that it’s so unorthodox probably keeps it from being too edgy, so in a way, the resemblance to Kut-Ku helps more than it harms. 7/10.
Behavior/Lore: While Yian Kut-Ku are rather low in the Monster Hunter pecking order (badum-tsh), their presence is usually an omen of a much stronger monster making its appearance; a saying goes “If a Yian Kut-Ku lives here, a Yian Garuga can't be far.” I’ve mentioned in the Kut-Ku review that Garuga often leave parasite eggs in the former’s nests, but there’s a lot more to them than that. Despite how closely related they are to Kut-Ku, Yian Garuga sit at a completely different place in their ecosystems, being one of the most feared and dominant monsters wherever they live. This is due to three key factors: their skill in combat, their unyielding aggression, and their terrifying intelligence. The latter of these is most evident in how Yian Garuga almost never fall for pitfall traps, destroying them when they get close. This brainpower, in conjunction with their great strength, makes the Bird Wyverns a threat that novice hunters will struggle to deal with, especially since they’re liable to use the weaker and less-clever Yian Kut-Ku as a frame of reference.
As for Scarred Yian Garuga...it’s exactly what it says on the tin. The only thing making them different enough to be considered Variants is the fact that they survived whatever damaged them that badly, meaning that what could have killed them was instead an educational experience that led to them learning how to be deadlier. This warrants treating them as Variants, as they’ll have tricks up their sleeve that unscarred Yian Garuga don’t.
Now, all of this is impressive, but you wanna hear something really weird? Due to their appearance, especially their venomous, Rath-like tail, some people headcanon Yian Garuga as being a Rathian/Yian Kut-Ku hybrid. I can’t tell whether that amuses me more than it disturbs me, but I’m feeling some emotion right now. And honestly, the fact that people can reasonably have this headcanon in the first place just makes Yian Garuga more interesting. Not that they weren’t interesting already, of course--they take everything you’d expect about a Yian Kut-Ku and turn it completely on its head, resulting in an apex predator that may or may not be the unholy spawn of forbidden love between a dragon and a fleshy chicken. 7/10.
Abilities: While Yian Garuga are already superior to Yian Kut-Ku in just about every way, apparently that wasn’t good enough for them, so they decided to try and one-up Raths--and somehow succeeded. They’re not just more agile in the air than the Flying Wyverns--which has to be embarrassing--they have better flame sacs. Their screams are also powerful enough to stagger large monsters, and they have their aforementioned intelligence and venomous tail, the latter being used to perform the aerial flip attacks that Rathian perfected, except Garuga’s might be even stronger; strikes from their tail can ward off Deviljho, which are normally capable of devastating entire ecosystems. Who gave these chickens this much power!?
Aside from all that, they have attacks that Kut-Ku use, like smashing their whole faces into the ground, and the only difference in attacks between the Scarred Garuga and the normal one is that the Scarred one is better at air combat, utilizing more rapid strikes and a fire ball barrage. It’s honestly crazy that something so similar to one of the most basic monsters in the games (at least, from what I can tell) turned out to be so deadly. The fact that it borrows a move from one of the most iconic monsters in the series is also cool, too. 7/10.
Equipment: Scarred Yian Garuga actually doesn’t have any equipment of its own--instead, its materials are used for certain pieces of regular Garuga equipment, so they’re functionally the same monster as far as this category is concerned. Starting with the weapons, it’s not surprising that several Yian Garuga weapons are recolors of Kut-Ku’s, but there are some original designs here and there. For instance, here’s a Long Sword called the Daito Wolf:
Tumblr media
“The path of a swordsman is a lonely one, [b]ut losing one's sword is truly desolation.” Wow, okay. Didn’t think Edgar Allen Crow was writing for Monster Hunter, but ya learn something new every day. Jokes aside, the texture on the blade makes me think this is a fluffy naginata, which is a funny mental image, so that’s a plus! Don’t have much else to say about this, so let’s go to the next weapon--a Hammer called the Raven Torrent:
Tumblr media
The heads on sticks make their grand return! Oh, glorious day! I like how its eyes make it look perpetually annoyed with its situation, and how the cracks on the beak add a sense of wear and tear to it. Finally, I want to show a Light Bowgun from World, and yes, I know I showed off a Light Bowgun when talking about Ian Kut-Ku, but this one doesn’t look anything like it. Here’s the Blackwing Bowgun:
Tumblr media
Okay, so this looks cool and all, especially with the tail on the butt of the gun, but I’ma be honest: the only reason I wanted to include this weapon is the ridiculously long chain of ammo being fed into it. I don’t know much of anything about guns, but seriously, that can NOT be practical. Which is why it’s amazing.
Onto the armor, I am pleased to report that Yian Garuga are not similar enough to Kut-Ku to have recolored armor. Here’s the Blademaster set from Freedom Unite:
Tumblr media
What with the Kut-Ku-like taffy texture and the Rath-like spikes, that fan theory is getting a lot more plausible (okay, not really, but this is uncanny). Jokes aside, I actually like the helmet on the women’s set more, which is rare for MH armor. The horns being stand-ins for the Yian Garuga ear frills is a nice touch, but just like with the Kut-Ku armor, I have to ask: was it really necessary for the ropes on the men’s set to be blue and the women’s pink? You don’t need to make it that obvious who’s supposed to wear which set. The Gunner set has this too, unfortunately, but it does have one other thing of note:
Tumblr media
Embrace your inner Unfezant! Let your floppy head-things wave in the breeze as you charge at your enemies with all the ferocity of a pigeon-pheasant-thing! All jokes aside...actually, those things are a joke, so never mind. I don’t hate them, but they’re silly and confusing. Why have those...things...on the helmets when they could have the horns to represent the frills instead?
I appreciate how Yian Garuga’s equipment isn’t all based off of the Yian Kut-Ku gear since the former isn’t actually a subspecies of the latter, as similar as they are. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of overlap, but there’s also enough originality here for me to appreciate. I also have to give it props for not looking like it’s made of spam. 7/10.
Final Thoughts and Tally: Yian Kut-Ku may have a holiday, but Yian Garuga has my respect...which probably isn’t worth as much, now that I think about it. Still, it’s a very interesting monster, taking an iconic goofball and turning it into a genuine threat that stands among titans while still looking silly. I’m a little miffed that its Variant is so close to it as to have virtually no identity, but at least that means I don’t have to spend an extra review complaining about it. 7/10.

Monster Hunter Yian Garuga Ecology: This Bird Wyvern likely started as the hybrid offspring of a Rathian and a Yian Kut-Ku, before enough appeared to reproduce within their own population without issue. Highly aggressive and determined, Yian Garuga will employ sonic attacks, poison and fire to fight literally anything to the death. Mostly solitary, they will form flocks during mating season, and the Yian Garuga with the most scars and injuries are seen as the most attractive choices among them.
Huh, yeah, that scans.
Tumblr media
That must be confusing for any Hunters who meet Avinia...
"And this is my Monstie, Frostfang!" "But he doesn't look like a Frostfang Barioth..." "I know he's not a Frostfang, his name is just Frostfang!" "Why name him that, then?!" "It was either that or Fuzzfangs..."
Tumblr media
That really does sound kickass.

Round 1 Part 1: Radobaan Vs. Scarred Yian Garuga
Radobaan (Brute Wyvern)
Appears in: World, Iceborne
Tumblr media
A gigantic brute wyvern that eats the bones of carcasses found in the Rotten Vale, using some of it as armor. It also rolls into a ball as a form of attack and transportation. -Iceborne
Vs.
Scarred Yian Garuga (Bird Wyvern)
Appears in: Freedom, 2, Freedom 2, Freedom Unite, 4, 4 Ultimate, Iceborne*
Tumblr media
A tempered Yian Garuga that has survived a grueling battle with just a scar on its head. Be careful of its successive breath attacks. -Iceborne
*Scarred Yian Garuga is really weird, it was introduced before normal Yian Garuga (who was only introduced in Freedom Unite), and then retconned into being a variant in Freedom Unite. From then on it would occasionally show up in games sometimes alongside normal Yian Garuga, and sometimes we'd exclusively get one or the other until Iceborne more clearly delineated between the two. This list is only counting games where specifically Scarred Yian Garuga showed up, regardless of what it was called.

Now that I think about it, is Frostfang more like a Deviant than a Variant? Or is there even that much of a difference between the two?
(Deviants are essentially just Variants for a single monster specimen. In that way, all Deviants are Variants but no Variants are Deviants. Scarred Garuga, for example, would be a Deviant if only one of them existed.)
