Things You May Not Know About Yama Kurai, Deviljho(Frontier), and Kusubami

Yama Kurai
 * Yama Kurai is a giant found in the Highland though it is unknown where it was in the Highland and why suddenly it has appeared.
 * There is no documents or archives on this thing, even from ancient times. No documents even mentioned sightings of them so it is likely it may appear in other habitats.
 * There is a theory that Yama Kurai could've been confused with Yama Tsukami due to different Yama Tsukami being seen before.
 * The Elder Dragon Observation Teams have encountered and found Yama Tsukami in Fonron that vary in size and color. Their theories are that they are either adults and juveniles, subspecies, or environmental conditions. Most of the teams agree that is due to environmental conditions that there is many different Yama Tsukami.
 * Yama Kurai is called one of the few ancient, origin monsters untouched by time. From this the Guild plan on investigating this species immediately.
 * Yama Kurai has plants and even trees covering its body, making it a sort of living forest. These plants and trees don't exist in any known areas. The plants are able to grow on Yama Kurai through the blood it produces, which are rich with nutrients.
 * While fighting, some of the plants on its body will fall off for some attacks but regrow on Yama Kurai's body extremely quick due to how rich nutrients are. This nutrients even rapidly grows some plants in environments sort of like Inagami.
 * Despite being similar to Yama Tsukami, Yama Kurai has one major difference from Yama Tsukami. Yama Kurai is able to produce substance that contains different types of poisons. It is theorized that Yama Kurai might have gotten the poisons from constant feeding after many, many years animals and plants.
 * It seems the gold eyes and gold teeth might be partly due to the poisons.
 * Like Yama Tsukami, it has special Great Thunderbugs living inside its body.
 * It is said that Yama Kurai can actually walk on the ground using its limbs.
 * It isn't said whether Yama Kurai is the ancestor of Yama Tsukami or not though it too is called the Oldest Elder Dragon. So there is a chance that this is like Rebidiora in a sense.

Deviljho
 * The Mezeporta district of the Guild know nothing about Deviljho thus far. All they really know is that it is a Brute Wyvern.
 * This monster is mostly unknown to them though they see its presence as extremely dangerous and warnings have been put up by them for hunters to be wary of this monster's presence.

Kusubami
 * They are scorpion-like monsters.
 * During the day, Kusubami eats under the sand. If something passes over it or disturbs it, Kusubami will attack.
 * Its tail contains poison that slowly drains a hunter's health.

What Long Distance Species Officially Are
 * New monsters never seen or identified by the Mezeporta district of the Guild.
