The Giadrome is a species of Raptor in the Bird Wyvern family. It inhabits the Snowy Mountains and are the alpha male leaders of the Giaprey. Larger in size and with a more prominent crest, they are perfectly suited for the position of leader. Not only does it sport a higher attack and defense, it also has an upgraded "snow spit" ability that makes a large amount of snow stick to a hunter and thus slow him/her down. This can be cured with a Thawing Agent.
New hunters fight this monster early in their careers if they live in or near a snowy area, like in Pokke Village for instance. You will usually find it walking around the upper edges of the Snowy Mountains along with its pack of Giaprey. Like all raptors, the Giadrome is evasive and leaps about a lot to dart away and on top of its prey, making it difficult to hit for first-time hunters.
Although the Giadrome's agility and ice-spit attacks can be daunting for new hunters, he is a predictable foe if you take your time to observe his movements.
