Perhaps in order to shield itself from hot temperatures, this monster is most often seen lurking beneath pools of mud. It has also been known to use the mud it cloaks itself in as a means of attacking, so exercise caution. Somewhat fastidious about its swamp, should the marsh be disturbed in any way, it will rush with reckless abandon towards the perpetrator.

A fanged wyvern that darts around the thickets of its forested nest. It generates static electricity by brushing its fur across the ground and nearby trees. When a sufficient amount of friction has been built up, it enters into an “electrified” state where its body hairs begin to emit light and stand on end. Be especially wary of its head and tail when it takes on this appearance.

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. It is believed that they coat themselves with mud in order to restore moisture to their scales, which grow brittle and inhibit cutaneous respiration when dehydrated. Exercise caution should you come across the mud which Jyuratodus spits out, as its high viscosity can easily restrict body movement.

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.
