Nice job using my strong ian mates with rathalos against me. -_-

But could you tell me why there are such dramatic changes in your Sub than a real ian or its color variants. What your proposing is something like this in a kinda power scale of ians.

norm= average power fire breathing and flying abilities -> pink= improved arial agility and fire breathing -> gold= very powerful fire breathing combos and very good arial abilities -> sub= Can shoot spikes from its wings, pick up HUGE rocks and chuck them, fire that uses a different chemical to ignite (seems even more flamable than a normal flame sac pouder), the ability to shoot a fire BEAM, and can expell a gas that gives armor down.

Everything seems logical till it gets to ian sub. And why would there need to be such dramatic change? There are no reasons for such dramatic change. 1) no bigger predators than they are used to  2) no difference in habitat range 3) no larger prey to take down.

And they wouldn't need to be desperate to keep teir species alive because what your saying is isn't even a subspecies because it is just a rathian with a recessive trait that acts like steriods! So hence it would mate like a normal ian.
