Lunagaron

Much like Odogaron, Lunagaron's name is a combination for Luna (Latin and several languages for "moon") and Garon (French word garou for "wolf").

The Lunagaron is a wolf-like saurischian wyvern that their body is covered in cobalt scales with white edges, with several ridges running down its back.

It can climb up and jump off walls and big boulders with ease, just like other Fanged Wyverns. It is nimble enough to execute acrobatic maneuvers and many attacks with its front legs. Despite being quadrupedal by nature, Lunagaron has a "true form" where it stands on two feet. As a specific kind of thermoregulation, Lunagaron may also use a special organ to chill the air it breathes, which then circulates throughout its body. During combat, it can also use this ability to breathe frost mist and construct ice armor on itself.

 Due to this, Lunagaron can survive in environments that are not cold.

A born hunter, Lunagaron is highly aggressive and feeds on smaller monsters, including some smaller size large monsters like Aknosom. It often competes with other dangerous monsters like Zinogre, Garangolm and Malzeno/Primordial Malzeno, often in Turf Wars around various locales, such as the Citadel.

Lunagaron is first encountered in the Shrine Ruins of Kamura; however, its main domain is the ice caverns of Elgado's Citadel. Due to its thermoregulation abilities and physicality allowing it to endure a wide variety of environments and temperatures, Lunagaron has been seen living in more temperate areas such as the Jungle.

" Lunagaron have an organ that chills the air they inhale, circulating it throughout their body in a unique form of thermoregulation. They can travel long distances and endure environmental changes, allowing them to occupy a wide range of habitats. They usually walk on all fours, but can stand on two legs by shutting down their cooling mechanism, spiking their body temp to expand their muscles. "

• Lunagaron appears to be based on werewolves, and may as well Fenrir from Norse mythology, as many of its weapons feature a set of chains binding the weapons when sheathed that disappear when unsheathed. Perhaps the Beast of Gévaudan is another of Lunagaron's inspirations.

• The way it inhales cold air to create ice armor may have been also inspired by the Big Bad Wolf in the traditional fairy tale "Three Little Pigs", where he destroys the pigs' houses by blowing on them.

• Lunagaron ranked 87th place in the Top Monster competition during Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary.
