Gargwa
“ Wyverns that lack wings but still fly are known to live in all biomes besides those that are extremely hot or cold. Being somewhat shy, Gargwa are known to lay eggs when other animals surprise them from behind. Many communities and cities grow them as cattle. ”

Gargwa (Theiapavo oviphilos) is fictional species of avian dinosaur introduced in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
Physical Appearance
Gargwa have tiny, probably rudimentary wings. They are typically calm animals, like the majority of herbivore species, but when threatened, they will attack and flee, leaving behind an egg or guano.
Abilities
Gargwa are covered in an array of colorful feathers. These feathers don't have much use but cover the Garwga for camouflage.
Ecology
They're normally docile creatures, but they will attack and flee when they're threatened, and when they flee, they will usually leave an egg or guano. When surprised, Gargwa will either lay an egg before attacking you and running off or drop a shiny.
Behavior
They live in harmony with the residents of Yukumo Village as livestock, yet they occasionally attack enemies.
Distribution and Habitat
Gargwa are seen regularly in the Misty Peaks, Ancestral Steppe, Everwood, Jurassic Frontier, and Forest and Hills.

Tamed
Kulu-Ya-Ku were tranquilized by bullets and made unconscious, feed it while unconscious and used narcotics to continuously overdose.
Kulu-Ya-Ku are immediately domesticated when they hatch from an egg because the survivor is always within 17 radii of the hatching egg. If Kulu-Ya-Ku isn't already tamed, you can train it with a whip for whipped, or eating some eggs.
Since the survivor is always within 16 radii of the hatching sac, Kulu-Ya-Ku are automatically domesticated when they hatch from an egg.
Lore
Gargwa's origin was obscure; they were born in their own world and were in the world of Monster Hunter. Gargwa and their mostly bird-like wyverns are really birds. Gargwa was originally a herbivore class but was reclassified as a bird wyvern because of their physiology, behavior, ability, and ecology.

Trivia
It appears to be a cross between real-life Ratites and Waterfowl.
Gargwa is omnivorous, eating both plants and insects.
Gargwa is often preyed upon by a range of creatures, from Rathian to Zinogre.
When surprised Gargwa will either lay an egg before running off, or drop a shiny.
The Eggs can be carried back to the delivery chest.
Normal eggs are worth 300 Farm points and 200 Zenny, and the rarer Golden eggs are worth 750 Farm points and 500 Zenny.
The Shiny object dropped can be either a Herb, Dung, Gargwa Feather, or an Insect Husk.
