Naco Agul

Naco Agul is a feline Fanged Wyvern notable for its leopard-like hide and large pair of fangs. It uses a mix of speed, power, and frost to wear down foes.

Physiology
Naco Agul resembles a cross between a leopard, a sabretooth cat, and a drake, having a yellow pelt adorned with many black rosettes, a long, white mane, a large pair of fangs, a white, scaly stomach, and legs covered in hard, white scales. Its chin has small, spiky protrusions on it, and its eyes are icy blue.

Biology
Naco Agul is a mid-level, opportunistic carnivore, feeding on anything smaller than itself, such as Aptonoth, Popo, Anteka, Zamite, Giadrome, Bulldrome, and Lagombi, but faces competition for food and territory from other large monsters, such as Blangonga, Khezu, Tigrex, Rajang, and Deviljho, and will generally avoid going after larger targets, such as Gammoth, out of awareness that they can easily injure or kill it with their crushing blows. Its pelt's colouration grants it camouflage in the lower regions of the Arctic Ridge, and provides insulation that allows it to thrive in the higher altitudes. Its legs are coated in hard scales that protect them from attacks that could potentially lame them, and its fangs are designed to pierce through thick layers of fur and rigid shells alike, allowing it to hunt a variety of prey. It is both highly muscular and light in terms of weight, allowing it to move at blinding speeds and overwhelm prey with its agility. In addition, it has developed a specialized organ designed to store ice, allowing it to take advantage of the vast amounts of ice found within its new habitats, and can release this ice in the form of blizzards and ice balls, granting it the ability to immobilize and trip up prey from afar before killing them with its large fangs. It is nocturnal, sleeping in caves during the day and actively hunting at night, and it will bring its kills back to its cavernous domain so it can digest its meal without facing competition.

Behavior
Naco Agul is territorial, attacking anything that draws near its territory. Due to its relatively short size compared to many other Fanged Wyverns, it prefers smaller prey items, but will hunt larger ones if it is left with little choice.

Abilities
It is very fast and agile, using blinding speed to overwhelm its targets. It can use the Ice element via its icy breath, and will spew blizzards and ice balls at foes to slow them down via the Snowman condition. Its fangs are large and very sharp, allowing it to crush the shells of armoured prey with ease, and they can induce Bleeding onto targets.

Habitat
Naco Agul is exclusively found in the Arctic Ridge.

Trivia

 * Naco Agul is a revamp of the monster of the same name, which was a leopard-like monster exclusive to the Monster Hunter Orage manga.
 * Naco Agul's carves were built from scratch due to the original Naco Agul having no official carves as it is exclusive to Monster Hunter Orage. The carves may change if it ever makes an official appearance in the games.
 * Naco Agul's HP and physical/elemental resistances are original due to the original Naco Agul having no official stats in those areas. The stats may change if it ever makes an official appearance in the games.
 * Naco Agul has no official classification, but Nin10DillN64 listed it as a Fanged Wyvern due to the original having both scales and mammalian features. This may change if it ever makes an official appearance in the games.
 * Naco Agul will fail to use ice-based attacks when fatigued. It can recover stamina by feeding on corpses or preying on Popo or Anteka.
 * Naco Agul has no official attacks, so Nin10DillN64 made the Cloudy Naco Agul's attacks from scratch.
