Main Series Monsters That Were Considered To Be Put In Frontier As Exotic Species(Replacement word for Long Distance Species)


 * Uragaan: It wasn't put in due to its look not being very appealing to the eyes of the Frontier Team. They wanted popular monsters that could draw in fans to play.
 * Nargacuga: Reason why Nargacuga wasn't, or hasn't, been put in is because the Frontier Team had trouble making Nargacuga different than it already was.
 * Lagiacrus: Due to the whole underwater thing about Lagiacrus, it was skipped over being put into Frontier.
 * Technically, now it could be possible for Lagiacrus to appear in Frontier from MHX.
 * Stygian Zinogre: Stygian Zinogre was considered first before Zinogre but wasn't put in due to the Frontier Team not wanting to skip the normal species and put in the subspecies first.
 * New World Rathalos and Rathian: Unknown reason why.
