So, I've been noticing that similar to the Daimyo Hermitaur oblivion, the intelligence of certain monsters and the mind-damaging effects of the Dragon Element are also an important piece of lore that's been ignored by the games. So, I'd like to know what degree of intelligence all the non-Elder Dragon boss monsters have. Here's an incomplete list that's divided into 3 sections:
Intelligent:
- Rathalos
- Rathian
- Yian Garuga
- Nargacuga (when not enraged)
- Blangonga
- Congalala
- Rajang (when not enraged)
- Gogomoa
- Kecha Wacha
- Nerscylla
- Gypceros
- Zinogre
- Barioth
- Gigginox
- Velocidrome
- Gendrome
- Iodrome
- Giadrome
- Great Jaggi
- Great Baggi
- Great Wroggi
- Great Maccau
- Seregios
- Gamuto
- Dinovaldo
- Berukyurosu/Doragyurosu
- Aruganosu/Goruganosu
- Najarala
- Tamamitsune
- Akura Vashimu/Akura Jebia
- Cephadrome (need further confirmation on this)
- King Shakalaka
Simple-Minded:
- Tigrex
- Deviljho
- Monoblos
- Diablos
- Raizex
Average: All the others
So, if you know all (or most of) the out-of-game info, feel free to help with the Intelligent and Simple-Minded sections!
