1. Zinogre. I like how such an intimidating monster uses something so commong as the lightning bugs (Which seem to be MH's version of Fireflies)

2. Slicemargl (did I spell that right?). it just doesn't make sense. Monster hunter has some monsters that love fighting *Cough* Garuga *caugh* but they dont go and only eat "worthy" Prey, because then they would starve and the species would die out.

3. Yes. It makes for more intersting monsters and is also more realistic.

4. of the existing monsters, Jehn and The delex could have one. Delex clean the Jehn Moh'ran of parasites and left over food, and in exhcange the delex gets both food and protection

5. id like to see a symbiosis with a monster and its environment, at least a more noticable link. My Idea is a monster that uses something like a fungi covering a cave in order to heighten its own senses,  similar to Gore Magala,  but the monsters senses would allow it to actually track players into other areas. the fungi would get to be able to dominate the cave very easily (as since the monster would kill anything wanting to eat the fungi), and be able to spread to new cave systems easily when the monster moves.

6. Slicemargl. I did not know fronteir has such an... unlikely monster

7.as with 6, Slicemargl.

8.Probably

9.  Id probably just have them get food for me. other then that they'd really be free to do their own thing.
