Akantor has been mentioned to appear in the Snowy Mountains in MHFU and has even been seen with a few natural disasters, such as thunderstorms and droughts. It is also mentioned in one of Capcom's official books (I can't recall which one exactly), but it is hard to come by since just about all of their ecology books and encyclopedias are Japanese only. A monster's elemental resistance doesn't dictate where a monster lives (Rajang in Arctic Ridge for example).
