Gargi are Bird Wyverns

Physiology
Overall, Gargi largely resembles its Relatives in Terms of Size and Body Shape, however, its Snout is longer and thinner than those of the other Dog Wyverns. It is covered in Navy blue Fleathers. Its Eyes are lime Green. Like their Leader, Gargi have Webbings between their Fingers.

Behavior
Like their Leader, Gargi are not really aggressive, but rather curious and playful. They can often be seen playing in or out of Water and aren't as territorial as their Relatives. Gargi mainly feed on Fish and won't attack Intruders larger than themselves.

Placement in Food Chain
Gargi occupy a low Spot on both the terrestrial and semi-aquatic Food Chain of their Habitat, the Evergreen Wetlands. They mainly feed on Fish, Insects and small Mammals or Reptiles.

Behavior towards other Monsters
Gargi are quite curious and will not shy away from approaching a Creature, which can often lead to some Issues. They are very faithful with one another, acting more like a large Family than a simple Pack, somewhat comparable to Dolphins or Primates, proving that Gargi are more intelligent than most of their Relatives.

Tracks

Special Behaviors
Gargi will gather around their Leader when it is sleeping, snuggle up to it and then also fall asleep.

Notes and Trivia

 * Gargi are inspired by Baryonyx, Halszkaraptor and Austroraptor, while their Colour Scheme is inspired by the Western Swamphen
 * Gargi replaced a Leviathan named Magaros and its Pack, the Magari, as the Low-Level Predator of the Evergreen Wetlands
 * Gargi were originally supposed to be green and based on Baryonyx only, but since the Creator had already made a Spinosaur-based Monster (Oxanerios), both Halszkaraptor and Austroraptor were incorporated into the Concept.
