Incinerating Blade Dinovaldo vs. Black Flame King Rathalos

Kirin vs. Golden Thunder Prince Zinogre

Osutogaroa vs. Kirin

Gore Magala vs. Oroshi Kirin

All of these monsters can cross paths with one another. (I don't like to do matchups like Agnaktor vs. Barioth). Berukyurosu is intelligent, fly's and shoots lightning, Berukyurosu wins.

Same case with Rajang, Rajang wins.

Ukanlos is powerful enough to eat a Kushala for breakfast, Ukanlos wins.

Nargacuga is fast but Espinas is more deadly with thorns and deadly ranged attacks, Espinas wins.

Hard to tell..... probably tie.

It is said that Zamtrios eats Plesioth but I truly doubt that counts for adults, my money is on Zamtrios but Plesioth will put up a fight and could win so it's a tie.

Probably Seregios.

This is difficult, Plesioth has lethal melee attacks but Baru has lots of ailments and blood sucking, it's a tie.

Midogaron is lightning fast but Brachydios causes explosions, tie.

Brachydios would destroy Barioth unless it played tactical.

Brachydios has explosions and is fairly agile so he wins.

.....   Hard to tell... I say a tie.

Zamtrios could swallow Tetsy but Tetsucabra is tough so I say tie.

Probably tie

Tigrex is brutally aggressive but Tidal Najarala is could end up coiling around him then kill him so it's a tie.

Tigrex, unless Barroth gets a straight up headshot with his charge which will fracture Tigrex's skull and leave him bleeding and dead.

A tad bit overkill!!! Varo DOOM Demon wins

Probably Dinovaldo unless Lavasioth plays strategically

Teostra cause he's an elder dragon and explodes stuff

Probably a tie

Possibly a tie.

The zinogre dude, Kirin is fast but one slip up and he's one dead corny pony

Osutogaroa.... no contest, he has an entire dish of apex monsters and plays lego with their bones!!

Gore Magala unless Oroshi Kirin plays strategic and even then, it will likely only injure Gore

You like matches where the monsters would actually meet? explain Berukyurosu vs Gamuto since Beru lives in the Canyon and Gamuto in the Snowy Mountain unless you mean the subspecies which would still win. Gamuto can be fought in the Tower (I honestly have no clue what it's doing there) where you also can hunt Berukyurosu.

Also I'm certain a Zamtrios can make meals out of an adult Plesioth. That could simply just be for the epic scenario against the furious four.

You give Plesioth far too little credit, Plesioth can put monsters to sleep, is probably the most agile swimmer out of every monster in MH that can swim, extremely large size which could intimidate a Zamtrios(unless he's in that balloon ball state) and very deadly physical attacks.

A juvenile would fall prey to a Zamtrios but a Zamtrios would absolutely not win against a full grown healthy Plesioth without serious injuries. He's found there Beru is found there. That's all I'm gonna say.

Concerning the Plesioth/Zamtrios conflict an adult plesioth isn't so large that it would intimidate an adult zamtrios. If on the hunt for plesioth I'm sure a zamtrios isn't going to directly confront a plesioth in water when it knows that the latter most likely swims faster and could easily escape. So how do you attack ? By ambush of course. The zamtrios has a much larger gape and it's bite compared to a plesioth's would do much more damage. Striking from below those multiple-rowed serrated teeth would do major damage. After the initial attack, all the zamtrios would need to do is back off let the plesioth bleed out and weaken. If the first attack doesn't do it in then simply stay out of sight and repeat like great white sharks do. This is if the two are in water of course. Now on land I'd back the zamtrios even more.

Could the zamtrios get some wounds sure, but for reasons stated above it is most certainly not far-fetched for adult plesioth to be preyed upon by zamtrios. You forget that the Plesioth has an extremely high sense of hearing, it is likely to hear the Zamtrios coming before it gets the chance to attack, unless the Zamtrios was lucky or the Plesioth tried to take him head on in land which even then the Plesioth isn't completely screwed if Plesioth manages to put Zamtrios to sleep and take advantage of the opportunity to escape or finish the Zamtrios off. Even creatures with sensitive hearing are suseptible to being ambushed, Plesioth is no different. On land the zamtrios is more agile, manuverable, low to the ground, better defense, and has more attacks at it's disposal. The zamtrios on land would come out on top a majority of times.

The defining fact is that they just eat plesioth, by ways we may never truly know they just somehow get it done. I may honestly need more insight on Zamtrios hunting adult Plesioth's because while Zamtrios are alot tougher with more attacks, an adult Plesioth would be far from a pushover to it.

I'm going to assume they would attack a weakened Plesioth or generally don't hunt the adults on a regular schedule and usually are after juveniles because adult Plesioth's seems too threatening to be a basic meal for a Zamtrios.
