Throughout Saga, you fight multiple monsters. However, there are plenty that are peaceful if left alone, as said in their bios. Let’s take the Gigralyph for example. It’s an intelligent creature with virtually no attacks if unprovoked. Instead, it is viewed as a peaceful creature. But Edge attacks it anyway, thus causing the frightened creature to call the Gigra in self defense and initiate a terrible battle.
Why does he do this? Is he just trying to show how macho he is?
Maybe his knowledge isn’t as encyclopedic as ours after reading all about it so he shot it just to be safe. Or it’s just a reason to have us fight the Gigra.
Gash orders Edge to kill it… perhaps Edge himself did not know that it was peaceful and just assumed Gash to be right.
Also, I’m not sure the Gigralyph calls on the Gigra for self defence… seeing as the Gigra eats the Gigralyph. I always assumed the Gigralyph was just crying out in distress, then the Gigra showed up because it heard dinner calling.
No, Gigralyphs summon Gigra’s from the ground. After that, it isn’t really eaten, more like combined with the Gigra. Once they are combined, the Gigralyph controls the actions of the Gigra.
I think Gash’s words were “just kill it so that we can leave.”
I figure after fighting so many monsters, Gash came to the conclusion that all or most monsters were dangerous. This isn’t actually the case, but you can see why he might come to that conclusion, and get Edge to attack it.
I’d have to hear what gash sais in japanese, maybe chris’S localization is a little free on that part. he maybe didn’t have a clue what gash actually says, and translated the monster bios later or something
Edge picks fights because it’s still a normal RPG, and killing other creatures is the only way to get stronger! I mean… YOU can always run away from the small fights, but do you? 
It seems the Gigralyph was in the way somehow, or maybe Gash just didn’t like the idea of leaving a potential threat alive behind them. I think he was hoping the dragon could kill it before it had a chance to call the Gigra, or maybe he wasn’t too clear on the relationship himself, but he just wanted to eliminate it out of paranoia.
Or more to the point… a Hunter a Seeker and a Dragon, they killed it because it was a monster and because it was there.
Clearly Edge hates nature.
Since Captain Planet presumably died with the ancients, there’s little chance of him getting his comeuppance.

It’s artificial nature though… so that makes it ok.
i’m pretty sure they killed it out of… habit, so to speak
i.e, attack it before it attacks us mentality of the seekers lead Gash to just kill everrything even slightly a threat. Edge just followed orders since the Seeker apeared to know a lot.
turned out for the worse, however.
I disagree, that fight lead to the dragon’s first metamorphosis… what does get killed by Lagi, can only make Lagi stronger. muuaaahahahaha!
Leave the poor boy alone! Its obviously those finely honed hunting skills telling him to slaughter any form of life he encounters! Ha…
I though it was just being brought up with the group of mercenaries/hunters that instilled a sense of “Nothing must be left to chance” thus maybe its only second nature to eliminate every potential threat on Edge’s travels.
But as said earlier, it is an RPG. Even the most gentle of creatures most be sacrificed for the cause of levelling up!
Like the sheep in Grandia III… they have like 3 HP and no attacks, but you can kill them anyway!
Edge picks fights because he is naive of the world around him and relies on the advice of others…lol!
haha oh yeah… true that
