One of the things that always puzzled me the most about MHFU had to do with the "Prey" Species. Firstly, how could Ioprey and Genprey live together with no conflicts? Secondly, why were they at so many odd environments (Genprey in the Great Forest, Ioprey at the Fort)? I can accept that they may share habitats (after all, Great Jaggi and it´s relatives can encounter each other on the Deserted Island) but... even assuming that the Ioprey and Genprey species do not compete with each other (which I find unlikely) why do they fight together? And at the Fort... even assuming that it is not a place that receives a lot maintenance (which would allow some pests to get in and breed) how can Ioprey live there? What do they EAT? Are they only there for a limited period of time? The likely answer is that "They are only there to annoy you" but I think we could find a more logical answer.
