'Things you may not know about Zinogre and the Stygian Zinogre'

Firstly, the Zinogres were just recently found in the Barubare region so, you could consider them as a somewhat new species in MH4 and sightings of them are increasing in the region(I wonder if this suggest Amatsumagatsuchi in or another monster driving them out like in Portable 3rd)

The reason why Thunderbugs gather around them is for protection against Gargwa.

The reason why their spikes rise up when their fully charged is to release large amounts electricity. If they didn't do this, they could possibly injure themselves or die from to much electricity surging on the inside of their body.

Zinogres as we know leave in the mountains but, they will come down to the Misty Peaks to feed.

The Stygian Zinogre may not be considered its own species since its just Zinogre that uses Dragonhage Bugs, though it has enough characteristics and differences to be considered a different species along with a decent sized population.

From the effects of the Dragon Element, thats how they stay warm in the Tundra and thats how they stay cool in the Volcano.

Some Stygians in the Volcano are much stronger than the ones in the Tundra due to higher populations of the Dragonhage Bugs in the area and from being older but, it seems during certain seasons their just like the ones in the Tundra.

Its unknown why the Dragonhage Bugs gather around them but, if I had to guess possibly from the Jade Barroth or other monsters like Baggis.

From the Dragon Element and its enviroments, it lost most of its resistance to lightning since their is not many monsters in the area that uses it.
