Could it be possible that those puddles/lakes of green are thriving cultures of the fungus that latch onto Brachydios? Since that area is Volcanic and Brachydios' live in volcanic regions, maybe this is the breeding grounds where they hatch and come into contact with the fungus. Making the monster we know. I'm not saying Brachy is back but out of game terms, fanon or whatever it's called, could this be a possibility?
