Taxonomy[]

Zinogre and its subspecies belong the family known as Fanged wyverns, and are the only members of this family known so far.

Characteristics[]

Distribution[]

Zinogres are found in forest areas, from the Mountain Peaks to the Moga Woods.

Biology and behavior[]

It is widely speculated that Zinogre gains it's electrical capabilities from thunderbugs, this is a symbiotic relationship: Gagua prey on Thunderbugs, so because Zinogre preys on Gagua, thunderbugs simply fly around in close proximity to the Zinogre, gaining protection. Zinogre can then harness this electricity for its' own attacks.
