Lucent Nargacuga is a Nargacuga variant that was first seen in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

What is the Forlorn Arena?

The Forlorn Arena is a locale first used in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, where it was known as Tower 3. It also appeared in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Monster Hunter Generations. It was traditionally the locale where Lucent Nargacuga, Gold Rathian, and Silver Rathalos were hunted, so it’s speculated these will be added in the August update as well.
