One of Alatreon's weaknesses is Fire, and it lives in a volcano, so I don't see what the big deal about Yian Garuga in the arctic is.

Rajang could probably go to cold areas to hunt Kirin. Abiorugu is Frontier's Deviljho, so they were probably trying to reproduce Deviljho's nomadic habits by having Abio appear in the Snowy Mountains. And I think I remember reading something about Brach's skin being like a thermos and protecting it from extreme temperatures?

Brach also appears in the Deserted Island, and its main weakness is Water. Just throwing that out there.
