The Wiggler and Wiggler Queen (Counaophis caerulus) are the fictional species of snake wyvern introduced in Monster Hunter World. The "queen" herself was a rare variant of the wiggler.
Physical Appearance
The Wiggler is a snake wyvern that consists of between caecilian and snake, but with five pairs of fin-like frills serving as courtship. Their skin color was pale yellowish white on the belly and blue green above, except for the female during mating season, who was called Wiggler Queen, and she had an orange neck and head. Wiggler was added, both fin tail and hind legs, because in 2023, prior to this, it lacked fin tail and hind legs because it looked like a real snake. merged into one from this variant, the Wiggler Queen.
Abilities
If a huge organism got too close, the Wiggler would use its body to burrow in the dirt, gravel, or stone to hide. Wiggler Queen will not come back out of the ground if you startle it. This seems to imply that every time Wigglers come out of the ground, it's a new group that spawns in.
