I think it is better to not have subspecies, at least for now.

But in future games, they could come up with subspecies.

I can imagine some possibilities, like a mud covered Gamuto from the desert, or a lava dwelling Gamuto covered in lava that hardens over time, a dragon element Raizex, a bright Raizex that procduces blinding flashes from the scales besides eletricity, a tundra dwelling Dinovaldo that can regenerate the tail blade with ice, a poisonous Tama with poisonous bubbles ... they could come up with unexpected stuff also, who know.

But for now, we got 4 new mosters, it should be enough.
