Barroth's color would also look a bit out of place at DI. Everything blue and green, there we see a brown Barroth. And Barroth was only encountered there at free hunt with weird individuals like Diablos and Uragaan, not in normal quests. Yes there is a reason why he can be encountered at DI but it simply looks weird okay. Lagi and Plesi do occasionally go on land but as long as there is a source of pool or lake.

So I agree with you SamRex, if he returns then it should preferably be better in a rocky, steppe-like area.
