Eh, Nerg was only ever really said to prey on and be a general threat to Elder Dragons since, in extended single combat, Nergigante has the advantage over anything that is just-as strong or stronger then it. However, as far as I'm aware, I don't remember it being "hyped up" to take on Elder Dragons after Elder Dragons with little effort, like some ED-slaughtering berserker. As crazy as MH ecology can be, even Elder Dragons are still animals, and animals do have limits.
