User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Rare Species/@comment-22495647-20131205175201

"-did we really need 3 Lagiacrus Species? The bloody things are just everywhere."

4 Rathians, 3 Rathalos (aerial variants of Rathians, really) and Zeruresu. If anything, 3 isn't enough for a flagship monster.

Anyway, I'd like to see a Rare Species of Gobul, since they're supposedly young forms in the games; the Rare variant could be Abyssal as well, being fought in a pitch black underwater cave with only its lantern as the scource of light.
