Thanks for the clarification!

3) As I said before, the idea is pretty neat. The presence of monsters labeled as "Elder Dragon Level" blurs what would otherwise be a distinct line between the elder dragons and the rest of the ecosystem.

8) Other than their immense strength, I don't see that many similarities between EDL monsters and true elder dragons. I mean, there was all that confusion a while ago about whether or not Raviente was an elder dragon, but that's all I can really think of. I suppose that wyverns and leviathans such as Berukyurosu and Abyssal Lagiacrus have dragon-like designs - but other than that, I can't draw any parallels aside from sheer destructive potential.
