Though I do believe that new monsters are the better option, I wouldn't mind new subspecies being introduced as long as they turn out to be more than just simple recolors. For example, Copper Blangonga and Glacial Agnaktor were done brilliantly; they were completely original in terms of design and gameplay unlike some other subspecies, who only had different colours and increased health and power. If the others were like them, the whole concept of subspecies wouldn't be so divisive.
